[QUOTE="dqhall, post: 76913347, member: 379119"] The Assyrians conquered Israelite lands north of Judah and deported most of the inhabitants. These tribes lost their national identity and religion. Next the Babylonians invaded and deported the Jews of Judah leaving a few of the poor on the land. The Samaritans survived two deportations living in the mountains. They intermarried. They built a temple on Mt. Gerazim and retained the Torah, copying Torah scrolls. Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon and allowed the Jews there to return to Judah.During the Persian period there was a group of Jews serving in the Persian army on Elephantine Island, Egypt. They left papyrus texts behind preserved in the arid climate. The earliest extant reference to the Passover was found there. As for Bactria, the only thing I can remember about it is the two humped Bactrian camel. [/QUOTE]
