cf.
Ezekiel (TCB Chabad) 38:
1 THEN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME, SAYING:
2 "SON OF MAN, SET YOUR FACE TOWARD GOG, [toward] THE LAND OF MAGOG, THE PRINCE, THE HEAD OF MESHECH AND TUBAL, AND PROPHESY CONCERNING HIM.
3 AND YOU SHALL SAY; SO SAID THE LORD GOD: BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST YOU, GOG, THE PRINCE, THE HEAD OF MESHECH AND TUBAL (flolowed by a list of peoples).
Nevertheless, the Bible also to some degrees is aligned with these identifications.
The Lost Ten Tribes are described as being in the Island of the Sea to the West and in the North Country, associated with Gomer son of Japhet, at the ends of the earth, and other signs.
cf.
Jeremiah 31:
8 BEHOLD, I WILL BRING THEM FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY,
AND GATHER THEM FROM THE ENDS [Hebrew: ;YARCATEI; i.e. thighs or coasts] OF THE EARTH,
AMONG THEM THE BLIND AND THE LAME,
THE WOMAN WITH CHILD
AND THE ONE WHO LABORS WITH CHILD, TOGETHER;
A GREAT THRONG SHALL RETURN THERE.
Answer to Quora Query:
Which modern day countries are Gog and Magog?
Kvng Jayy
Gog has been identified by modern scholars with
Gyges, a 7th-century BCE king of Lydia, and with the Akkadian god Gaga; and it has also been argued that the name Magog is derived from an Akkadian word meaning ;the land of Gyges.; In the 1st century CE the Jewish historian Josephus claimed that Gog and Magog were the Scythians, and in the 5th and 6th centuries they were held to be the Huns. Gog and Magog were equated with the Magyars in the 10th century and with the entire Muslim world, led by Muhammad and Saladin, in the Middle Ages. In both Jewish and Christian apocalyptic writings and other works, they were also identified with the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
So there you have it. The LTTs according to Biblical Exegesis in the past were to be found in the same general areas the future hosts of Northern peoples were to emerge from.
This too in its own way is a proof.
It does not mean the North America is associated with Gog just that the LTTs are there also in the and in the same general direction at Gog and Magog.

Josephus (Jewish Wars vii;7;4) says that Alexander the Great used iron gates to close up mountain passes so that the Scythians would not break into the civilized world. Elsewhere (Antiquities 1;b;i) Josephus identifies the Scyths with Magog. From the 1100s CE Gog and Magog were identified as the Lost Ten Tribes. This was based on old traditions:
