The Lost Tribe of Israel

S1 E9: The mystery of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel has fascinated people throughout history. Explorers claim to have discovered evidence of the "lost tribes" all over the world, from Australia to Siberia, but few if any such claims have been backed up by solid evidence. Now, a provocative possibility regarding the whereabouts of one of the tribes has emerged—and it's 4,000 miles from Israel—in Southern Africa. Host and explorer Josh Bernstein retraces the amazing journey that the Lemba people claim they made centuries ago. It stretches from the heart of modern South Africa to the ancient stone cities of Zimbabwe, then onto the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and into the city of Jerusalem. And the evidence for this journey is more than anecdotal. As Josh discovers, recent DNA studies point to the Lemba's true origin in the Middle East.
