Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: The Fate of the Lost Tribes of Israel

Dr. Claude Mariottini has posted a great article about the "Lost 10 Tribes of Israel". It stands as a summary of his own posts on the subject as well as point to an article by Arnold Ages. I'm planning to review more of this material but Mariottini quoted the following and it bugged me a little bit.

"Conquered and deported nations do not generally blend in and become supporters of the regime or empire that carted them off from their native lands."

I have never tried to come up with hard numbers but it seems to me that tactic of conquering and redistribution of the vanquished peoples seems historically successful. The Jews maintaining the cultural,ethnic, and religious identity in the context of being a minority group seems to be an exception not the rule. I mean for African-Americans - the descendants of conquered, enslaved, and deported people - have almost no conscious ties to our ancestry. In other words the method still works and the societies that suffer the loss almost never seem to recover.
