In \u003cem\u003eThe Ten Lost Tribes\u003c\/em\u003e, Zvi Ben-Dor Benite shows for the first time the extent to which the search for the lost tribes of Israel became, over two millennia, an engine for global exploration and a key mechanism for understanding the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the book reveals, the quest for the missing tribes and the fervent belief that their restitution marked a necessary step toward global redemption have been threaded through countless historical moments--from the formation of the first ''world'' empires to the age of discovery, and from the spread of European imperialism to the rise of modern-day evangelical apocalypticism. More than a historical survey of an enduring myth, \u003cem\u003eThe Ten Lost Tribes\u003c\/em\u003e offers a unique prism through which to view the many facets of encounters between cultures, the processes of colonization, and the growth of geographical knowledge.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46881069105303,"sku":"9780195307337","price":6493.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195307337.webp?v=1770229633","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-ten-lost-tribes-a-world-history-9780195307337","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
