Missing Links Discovered in Assyrian Tablets
E. Raymond Capt M.A., A.I.A., F.S.A. Scot
Could you be an Israelite and not know it?
"Here's a paradox a most ingenious an anthropological fact many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors." (1)
Alfred M. Lilienthal
Could this possibly be so? If so it would mean that the majority of Christendom and the rest of society has misidentified the people most prominent in the Bible. If Israel has been misidentified there is no doubt that major errors in doctrinal interpretation and application of biblical prophecy have been made! Take a look at a truly remarkable study of Assyrian tablets that reveal the fate of the Lost Tribes of Israel . This is the book considered by most to be Capt's finest of all his vast and excellent literary achievements!
An archaeological study of the origin and history of the so-called "Lost Tribes of Israel" and the Assyrian tablets that reveal the fate of these same people chosen by God to be the "light-bearers" to the nations. When clay cuneiform tablets were found in the excavations of the Assyrian Royal Library of Ashurbanipal in ancient Nineveh their relevance to the nation of Israel was overlooked at the time. This was undoubtedly because they were in complete disorder and among hundreds of miscellaneous text dealing with many matters of State. Contributing to this situation was the fact that the Assyrians called the Israelites by other names during their captivity.
Some of the tablets found were dated around 707 B.C. and reveal the fate of the Israelites as they escaped from the land of their captivity and "disappeared" into the hinterland of Europe. These tablets form the "Missing Links" that enable us to identify the modern-day descendants of the "Lost Tribes of Israel". In doing so we increase our knowledge of Bible history and experience a dramatic revision of our preconceived ideas of Bible prophecy.
In this authoritative book the author has attempted no more than a brief review of the origin and history of the Israelites; a survey of the Assyrian inscriptions and cuneiform tablets that record the deportations of Israel as related to Biblical and secular history; their sojourn in captivity and a synopsis of their migrations to their new homelands (British Isles, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Canada, America, etc.). "Missing Links" is the book that opened the eyes of thousands of Christians (Baptist , Methodist, Catholic, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Church of Christ, and more) to their Israelite heritage and how that one single discovery has changed the way they now view all Bible doctrine and prophecy!

This book provides a historical account of the fates of the lost tribes of Israel using archeological evidence and historical records from non-biblical sources. I find it fascinating to learn more about this topic since it seems obvious that the tribes did not simply vanish, but ended up somewhere. The fact that Capt cites non-biblical historical records gives many of these theories greater credibility in my opinion, because the people writing them (Assyrians, for example) had no bias or reason to lie about the people they were describing. To cultures outside of Israel/Judah, these were just another ethnic group among many in the world and their migration was nothing special. As with any books on controversial history, I do think it is important to remember that the author may have a bias of his own and so effort needs to be made to distinguish actual facts or evidence from theory and come to your own conclusions based on the evidence presented.

An interesting and fast paced book. Alot of good information to roll over in your head. The weakest part of the book was his heraldry section I believe. He mentions Tea-Tephi whom he seems to believe in but fortunately he doesn't pursue it. I find that that argument is full of holes and would of only taken away from his work. One definitely needs to continue going through other sources to qualify his work but that is par for the course with any book.

Some interesting stuff in here. But not riveting.
