Hey, that adventure really is interesting.
Maybe this alliance between Egyptians and Assyrians answers where did Assurubbalit vanish, and what are the Assyrians doing in Tchad!
Do you remember this story of Africans claiming Assyrian descent, from the works of the Lange guy?
Well, the Assyrians might have been received as refugees in Egypt, then they might have had their relationship worsening, especially since they were no more than a burden, so they maybe decided to heed for Tchad!
Also, the ejection of the Scythians from the Middle East might be only partial, since Josephus talks about countless mutitudes of 10 tribers in Persia, no? Or maybe these were more like Judeans?

Israel-Syria-Ireland in Megalithic Parallelism

Introduction.
William Copeland Borlase.
Quote 1 (Extracts): The Irish Connection Highlighted.
Quote 2 Extracts from the Simple Text.
Extracts:
William Borlase wrote a comprehensive work on the dolmens of Ireland....The work of Borlase may well still be pertinent.
...Borlase concluded that dolmens in Ireland had been all constructed by one single ethnic group whose activities had continued from the Stone Age right up to and then into the Christian Era.
Contrary to Borlase,
New findings now indicate that in Europe the so-called Neolithic (New Stone Ages) did not exist as a separate era but was co-eval with the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Our understanding of Biblical Passages along with archaeological findings shows that certain megalithic dolmen-type monuments had been set up by the Ancient Israelites in the Land of Israel. Ten out of the original Twelve Israelite Tribes were exiled and lost their identity. They became known as the Lost Ten Tribes. They migrated in stages to Western Europe amongst whose peoples and their overseas offshoots are to be found their descendants today.
In their places of eventual settlement and along their migratory routes are to be found megalithic monuments of the same type as those that may be attributed to the Israelites. These prove their Places of origin in the Ancient Israelite Area.
The Prophet Jeremiah (31:21) predicted that this is what they would do and that they would set up such signs of their origin. He indicated that in the End Times they would be enabled to use these monuments as proof of their ancestry.
This would enable them to return.
# Most singular and interesting is it to find that not only are these structural resemblances to the rude stone monuments of Western Europe so close, but that the superstitions which prevail in the dolmen-bearing districts of Syria and Moab are identical with those of the dolmen-bearing districts of the West. ...
....All this is identical with Irish custom and tradition...
...Stones in similar position and of singular form, intended apparently to represent horned heads, formed a characteristic feature in the little Irish structures....
....They are called by the Arabs Kubur Beni Israel, that is, " Graves of the Children of Israel." ..This remark would hold good, I think, in the case of most of the dolmens of Western Europe, and of those of Ireland in particular. ... #

OUR SCYTHIAN ANCESTORS
By W. Edmund Filmer B.A.
http://www.ensignmessage.com/
archives/scythianancestors.html
Extracts:
Some customs of the Scythians may well be survivals from their Israelite ancestors. We know, for example that according to the Mosaic Law the pig was unclean, and Herodotus tells us that the Scythians 'never use pigs for sacrifice, and will not even breed them anywhere in the country' (IV, 63). Hosea condemned the Israelites for using sticks for the purpose of divination (4:12), and Herodotus says:'There are many soothsayers in Scythia, and their method is to work with willow rods. They bring great bundles of them which they put down on the ground; then they untie them, lay out each rod separately, and pronounce their prophecy' (IV, 67). In the Oxtis treasure there are a number of gold plaques depicting soothsayers, with their bundles of rods, and it is thought that the Scythians used to sew these on their garments as lucky charms.
In his description of central Europe, from the Danube to the Baltic, Pliny states that,'The name of the Scythians is everywhere changed to that of Sarmatae and Germans. This old designation has not been continued for any except the most outlying sections of this nation who live almost unknown to the rest of mankind' (Natural History, IV, xii). By outlying sections of the nation, he doubtless meant those on the north coast of Europe just mentioned. Unfortunately, the true meaning of this important statement has been completely obscured in the Loeb edition of Pliny by a mistranslation that reads: 'The name of Scythian has spread in every direction as far as the Sarmatae and Germans.'
Prior to 100 B.C., the land bordering on the southern Baltic Sea - now Poland and the former East Germany - had been rather sparsely populated, but from that date onwards cemeteries increased in number with the introduction of new burial rites.
A significant fact, noted by Polish, Scandinavian and even German scholars, is that the chieftains' graves in south Poland are at least a century older than the earliest ones on the Baltic coast, implying a migration from south to north. A further important fact is that these graves all lie on or to the west of the Vistula, the area east of that river being cut off from an immigration from south Russia by the Pripet marshes. Finally, in the early centuries of the Christian era, these burial rites spread north into the Danish islands and Jutland peninsula.
Now Tacitus and Ptolemy name the region of the River Elbe and the base of the Jutland Peninsula as the places inhabited by the Angles and Saxons before they came to Britain. According to Roman terminology, this was 'Germany' but it is interesting to note that the British historian, Nennius, in his account of the arrival of Hengist and Horsa in Thanet, says that 'messengers were sent to Scythia' for reinforcements. The context shows that these came in fact, from north Germany, so evidently the ancient name of the 'genuine' Scythians persisted long in northern Europe.

3. Stones from Heaven? Another Episode in the Life and Incredible Happenings of Yair Davidiy.
Yesterday just before I was about to go up to the house I decided to enter the neighborhood greengrocer over the road.
Just before the shop is a small (ca. 4 yards square) courtyard. Over the entrance is an overhanging steel awning. I had almost reached the courtyard entrance when in front of my eyes a stone block (about 3 feet long, 2 feet wide, 2 feet deep) fell as if from heaven on to the awning and rolled off onto the yard. This was followed or accompanied ( IÂ am not sure which) by a rain of smaller blocks and stones. Naturally, I was a little frightened.

6. Edom Conflated with Assyria! and a Summary of Edomite Characteristics.
1760. 5. In Case you Missed it: Edom Conflated with Assyria! and a Summary of Edomite Characteristics.
http://www.britam.org/now2/1760Now.html#5
In our Bible Study on the Book of Job
The Three Friends of Job.
http://britam.org/Job/Job2.html#3
The following potentially important information was noted:
Teman is from Edom. Edom is another name for Esau. ...
The first-born son of Esau was also named Eliphaz (1 Chronicles 1:35). The mother of Elphaz was Adah (Genesis 36:4).
Eliphaz had six sons one of whom was Amalek. The mother of Amalek was Timna the concubine.
Genesis 36:
11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
12 Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Adah, Esau's wife.
Amalek is the arch-enemy of Israel (Exodus 17:16; Deuteronomy 25:19).
Even so, Midrashic Literature paints a more positive picture of Eliphaz. It says that Jacob helped raise him and that Eliphaz spared the life of Jacob even though his father, Esau, had commanded that Jacob should be killed (Rashi to Genesis 29:11).
At all events Eliphaz the friend of Job was called the Temanite. This suggests that he descended from Teman the son of Eliphaz and half-brother of Amalek.
The inhabitants of Teman seem to have been famous for their wisdom:
Jeremiah 49:
7. Against Edom.
Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished? '
Obadiah 1:
8 Will I not in that day, says the LORD, Even destroy the wise men from Edom, And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
9 Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau May be cut off by slaughter.
"Teman" is sometimes used as a synonym for Edom itself (Amos 1:12; Obadiah 1:9; Jeremiah 49:20, 22; Habakuk 3:3).
In Hebrew Temen can by synonymous with Yamin and mean "right-hand" or "southern side".
Assyrian inscriptions mention Temanaye, Temana, Temeni, Tamnuna, Taiman.
This was a province in the far north of Syria. It was the name of a people of that area in the 1000s BCE but who later (in ca. 800 BCE) were also found in the region of Assyria between Nineveh and Calah.

The Aramaeans : their ancient history, culture, religion
By Edward Lipiski, 2000, Netherlands, p.166
http://books.google.co.il/books/about/The_Aramaeans.html?id=rrMKKtiBBI4C
This suggests a possible conflation between the Assyrians and Edom.
The Prophet Amos (chapter 1) links Edom with the exile of the Ten Tribes by the Assyrians.
Esau was described as an Admoni (Genesis 25:25) the same as King David (1-Samuel 17:42).
This is usually understood to mean ruddy and red-haired.
Esau is a major adversary of Israel.
The final showdown of the Israelite Nation or at least one of them will be against Edom (see the Book of Obadiah).
Edom was linked with Babylon (Psalm 137) and inscriptions mentioned a people known as the Temennu as an important element in Babylonian affairs.
Esau was blessed that he should father a warrior race and live in a fertile land enjoying material abundance.
Genesis 37:
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above.
40 By your sword you shall live, And you shall serve your brother; And it shall come to pass, when you become restless, That you shall break his yoke from your neck.

#6. Answer to Query and the "Hiddeness" of Australia?
http://www.britam.org/now2/1755Now.html#6
We answered a question concerning the meaning of the name Australia in Hebrew.
We suggested
Ostir-Li-Ya.
I will hide [Ostir] for me [Li]-Yah.
Perhaps it is hinting at Isaiah 54:8.
Another possibility is
Asater-Li-Yah meaning "I will hide myself from God" or "God will Hide Me There" .
In Genesis 4:14 we have the expression of Cain "SHALL I BE HID" [Hebrew "aSater"] or "I will hide".
This in Bible Codes begins a sequence of 54 letters spelling the word "SINIM".
Sinim is the name in Hebrew for Australia!!!
See:
#2. SINIM= Australia, A Land of Exile.

Here is more is said on this subject and it is shown how Sinim is linked up with Austrlia and with Kain and the Rechabites.

9. Rabbinical Source. Benjamin and Joseph to Rule Over Gentiles, Judah Over Israel !
1776. 1. New Article. The Division of Power!
http://www.britam.org/now2/1776Now.html
[Based on the work ("Shivtei Yisrael") of Rabbi Fishel Mael, p. 497 ff.]
In the book "Machshavot Charutz" (rough translation and paraphrase) from Rabbi Tzaddok HaKohen of Lublin (1823-1900).
# The Power of Joseph is amongst the Gentiles for over them was the main emphasis of his rule. Joseph represents the conquest of evil desires. These parallel the forces of the Gentiles in their hearts.
The Power of Judah was over his brothers. Judah represents the ability to overcome the imperfections that each of his brothers had. #
Fishel Mael comments:
The Rulership (in Hebrew: Malcut) of the Children of Rachel, especially of Joseph, concerns the Gentiles. Joseph ruled over Egypt and other peoples.
Mordecai (in the Book of Esther) from the Tribe of Benjamin became the second in command to the King of Persia.
The task of the Children of Rachel (i.e. the Tribes of Joseph and Benjamin) is to fight against Edom and Esau.
Joshua son of Nun from the Tribe of Ephraim fought against the nations of the World and Amalek.
So (in their own way) did King Saul and Mordecai both of whom came from Benjamin.
The primary Rulership of Judah is internal. They were to rule over Israel alone. The task of David and Solomon (who came from Judah) is to establish the Kingdom of Israel on its own and to build the Temple.
In the future the Task of the Messiah son of Joseph will be to save Israel from the Gentiles.
On the other hand, the Task of the Messiah son of David will be to rule over Israel and to bring Complete Redemption.
This is what the Maharsha [b. 1555] (Succah 55;a) says:
# # In the Future Redemption, may it come speedily in our days, at first the Messiah son of Joseph will come to save Israel as it says,
#The house of Jacob shall be a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame [Obadiah 1:18] #:
The seed of Esau can only be destroyed by the Messiah son of Joseph. But the Messiah son of Joseph will be killed by heathen Gentiles who will once again come up to Jerusalem. Complete Redemption can only come through the Messiah son of David as explained in several places. #
On the Feast of Succoth seventy bulls were sacrificed: one for each of the major peoples of the world. This was in order that we pray that the Knowledge (that we receive on Succoth) spread to all nations. This is associated with the Children of Rachel.
A certain parallelism exists between Joseph and Yavan (Javan, Hellenistic Greece). The two bodies show both similarities and antithetical attributes to each other. They counter-balance each other. One is the negation of the other.
The essence and conduct of the Children of Rachel possess an inner beauty. This was paralleled by the excellency of Ancient Greece.
There was a chance that Ancient Greece accept influence from the Children of Rachel and rectify itself. They failed to do so but rather corrupted themselves even more than they already were and worked on the side of evil.
Yavan represents the offspring of Japhet in general.

a. The Opinions of early Finnish and other Scandinavian Scholars.
b. Most of the Finns are proven to have come from the bend of the Volga near the Caspian Sea. This was an area associated with the Ten Tribes. It was from this region that the early Israelite Scythians and Khazars first appeared.
c. In Finnish vocabulary, etc, there are traces of Hebrew.
d. Finnish customs are similar to Hebrew or Jewish ones, e.g. the Finns kept, like Jews, Saturday as the Sabbath. Mammi, Finnish unleavened bread, is eaten at Easter which is supposed to be at Passover;
nomenclature of fabrics and home items;
An Old wedding tradition (still carried out in Finland in the 20th century) where the bridal couple stand under a canopy called in Hebrew a 'huppah' (chuppah), and in Finnish, 'huppu'.
e. DNA links between Finns, Samaritans, and Jews. This includes certain inherited afflictions.

The Finnish name for God was Yummella, or Yuma, or Ymar.
[Brit-Am Comment: The authors apparently were not aware of it , but it would seem that the Northern Israelites (from the Ten Tribes) before their exile pronounced the name of God as something like YMA or YaMa!]
Peace Yair,
Now that one is really interesting!
Where is it said so?
The Hindus also have a god of the death named Yama, and here in Romania we say of people who have passed through something terrible "Yama has passed by them" although no one knows who Yama is.
All the best,

# Yam, from the Canaanite word Yam, (Hebrew ) meaning "Sea", also written "Yaw", is one name of the Ugaritic god of Rivers and Sea. #
#"Yw" in the Baal Cycle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_(god)#.22Yw.22_in_the_Baal_Cycle
At least one writer has pointed out, regarding the occurrence of "Yw" in the Baal Cycle, that one possible vocalization is "Yaw", and thus may possibly have etymological ties to [THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY] of the Hebrew Old Testament.[2] In this case the struggle between Yam/Yaw and Baal, prefigures that mentioned between the priests of Baal and the priests of Yahweh, led by Elijah, at Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 8[3].

12. Rabbinical Source: The blessing of Joseph was to spread all over the earth.
1800. 3. New Article.
Characteristics of Joseph.
http://britam.org/CarleJoseph2.html
Based on the writings of
Rabbi Shlomoh Carlebach.
Extracts:
Joseph was known as Joseph the Righteous. He lived up to his name. When Joseph was born his mother said,
"God has taken away my reproach" (Genesis 20:33)....
Joseph gathers together the different parts. He repairs and heals the broken pieces. Joseph gave sustenance (in Egypt) to his brothers. He brought them together as one.
Joseph withstood the temptation of the wife of Potiphar (Genesis 39:11-12). He did not allow the seed of Israel to be spread amongst the heathen.
[According to tradition] he healed the breach of Schechem [when Dinah, his sister, was raped by the local prince, who was also called Schechem, Genesis 34:2] by taking Osnath [daughter of Dinah] to wife.
Osnath was the daughter of Dinah by Schechem.
That was why Joseph is buried in Schechem (Joshua 24:32). The presence of Joseph continues the healing process.
As long as the bones of Joseph are buried in Schechem we may be sure that day will come when "they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again" (Ezekiel 37:21).
On the other hand, says the Midrash, because Joseph refused to listen to the voice of the wife of his master [and would not lie with her, Genesis 39:7-12] the land was blessed for him...
Joseph was called the Lord of the Land (Genesis 32:30).
His Land was to be blessed more than that of all the other Tribes
First Joseph would receive a Land that would be blessed and from there his blessing was to spread all over the earth.
