10 lost tribes

Is it possible that Brazil was named after the Hebrew word for iron -- 'barzel'? Is Mexico the derivative of the original name 'Meshicho' meaning moshiach? Did Britain get its name from the words 'Brit Am,' hebrew for 'covenant of nations?' I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but the research of Historian Steve Collins is very intriguing. He also claims that at least 5 Native American tribes, including Cheeroke and Seminole, were of Jewish descent. That explains the casinos (that's my revelation, not his). Also interesting is the fact that an Israeli historian, Yair Davidiy, has independently come to many of the same conclusions as Collins regarding who the lost tribes are and where they went. One of the goals of my blog is to pass on inspiring and interesting information. So here is my first tip. Check out http://www.israelnationalradio.com/ and scroll down to the Tamar Yona Show on the 10 lost tribes. You can hear her 2 hour broadcast with Steven Collins. Maybe its all bogus -- but it sure is entertaining! You can also look at http://www.stevenmcollins.com/ and http://www.britam.org/
