Yes, indeed. I don't know by whom "it's pretty well accepted" that the
Falasha are remnants of the tribe of Dan. Obviously not be Leo or me.
And don't forget the sons of Isaac, or "Isaac's sons" --> Saxons. It's
pretty well accepted by the group known as 'British Israelites' that the
Saxons are the remnant of the 10 lost tribes of Israel.
I think, in fact, that one will find claims of remnants of one or more of
the "lost tribes of Israel" making it to every continent on the globe.
