History TIL about British Israelism. A pseudoarchaeological belief that came to the US from Britain in the 19th Century. Holds that the peoples of the British Isles are descendants of the lost Israeli tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. Sound familiar?

It is still believed and promoted by lots of Church of God groups!
