The Lost Israelites were the First Buddhists – Part Five
Prince Siddharta; The Buddha the Israelite’s first Teaching after his enlightenment to the Five Disciples in the Tranquility at a Deer Park
As we study the literature of the ancients, we seek clues for the whereabouts of the ancient Israelites. According to Herodotus (Book 1, Chapter 1) he mentioned that the escaping Israelites were once part of the Nation formed by Deioces (Deyaco) who was “a man of great ability and ambitious for power.” This was an era in which there was a vacuum of power with no central government in the entire region. Deioces was known as an arbitrator of disputes amongst the peoples so eventually they selected him as their king: “Let us appoint one of our number to rule us so that we can get on with our work under orderly government, and not lose our homes altogether in the present chaos.”
In the region of modern Hamadan, the first palace of the Medes was built and nearby they began the construction of a new capital city in the land of the Medes called Ecbatana. Deioces (709-656 BCE) became the first King of the Medes (694-665 BCE). He was later succeeded by his son, Phraortes, who was the father of the later ruler, Cyaxarses.
It was Cyaxarses who joined with the Babylonian King Nabopolaser, asserted their independence and overthrew the Assyrian Empire when they destroyed the city of Nineveh in the year of 606 BCE. The last “Zar” of Assyria, Ashur-Etililani perished on the “funeral pyre” of his palace as it went up in flames at Nineveh. A year later, King Nabopolaser’s son, Nebuchadnezzar’s military forces were on their way to surround and lay siege to the city of Jerusalem and the temple vessels in Solomon’s Temple were taken to Babylon along with Daniel and the three Jewish worthies.
605 BCE - The initial vessels taken from the Temple of Jerusalem were selected to be sent to the museum archives of the Temple of Marduk. There in Babylon, the vessels went along with the chief of the royal sons, the elite and the thinkers in the land of Judah. It can be assumed that the best of the remaining vessels that had not been hidden by Jeremiah and the five guardians of the temple treasureswere sent to Babylon at this time. (Daniel 1:1-2)
597 BCE - When King Jehoiachin and his family were taken as prisoners after their switch of allegiance to the Egyptians, most of the rest of the vessels of precious metals were taken. (2 Kings 24:12-13)
586 BCE - The city was burned and razed, the temple was destroyed and the remaining vessels, mainly of bronze as well as the Bronze Sea, the Bronze Pillars in front of the Temple were taken after the capture of King Zedekiah who tried to flee in an underground tunnel out of the city of Jerusalem. (2 Kings 25:13-17)”
This was the era of the day when a young Sakyan Prince called Siddhartha in the Kingdom of Legend has it that his mother, Queen Maya had a dream in which a white elephant entered into her right side and ten months later, the Lost Israelite babe, Prince Siddhartha was born.
According to the ancient Israelite traditions, when Siddhartha’s mother became pregnant and was near term delivery, she left the palace to travel to her father’s kingdom in order to give birth. Yet, in route, her son was born in a garden at Lumbini on a day of the full moon, where the Temple of Maya Devi was recently excavated. Today, the birthday of the Sakya Buddha is celebrated in the Theravada countries as Vesakon the birth anniversary holiday called “Buddha Poornima”. Sometime between birth and seven days later, depending on what tradition, Queen Maya died either just after birth or seven days after the future Buddha babe’s birth.
His birth name was Siddhartha, which in the Pali language, Siddhattha meant: “he who achieves his aim”. During the birth ceremony on the 5th day they had the “naming ceremony” and after the seventh day, eight Brahmin scholars, who were also Sakyan Lost Israelites gave dual predictions that the young babe would either become a great king or a holy man.
While the Aaronic priest, Buzi, the father of the Prophet Ezekiel with his five disciples were visiting in the lands of the Lost Israelites by the Caspian Sea, it is possible that they first traversed to the east to the lands along the Tigris River where the warriors of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel were beginning to congregate as a peoples in what would become soon the Lost Israelite Parthian Empire on the Tigris River.
From there Buzi and Ezekiel would travel north into the region of east of the Caspian Sea and then onwards into Nepal, the Swat region in Pakistan and Kashmir in Northern India. At the same time, back in the Land of Israel, the Prophet Jeremiah was given the divine command to delegate five temple priests to go on a highly secretive royal mission mandated by Good King Josiah.
They were to become a special secret commando force whose dedicated mission was to hide the Treasures of Solomon’s Temple as instructed in the Emeq HaMelekh, an ancient Tosefta of the Talmud. This story is preserved in the BibleSearchers Reflections series of articles first revealed by the late Vendyl Jones, the famous hunter of the “ark of the covenant” whose mission to find the Mishkhan (Wilderness Sanctuary) was blessed by the late Rabbi Menachem Schneerson:

Go to Part Thirteen – “The Twelve Stones for the Tribes of Israel, David, son of David, a righteous king over Israel and the Gihon River at the Final Restoration of Israel”
During the interim of this time, the five temple priests as reported in Part Threewere put under the special guardianship of the Prophet Jeremiah and consigned to the secret and sacred mission to hide the “Treasures of Solomon’s Temple.” They were to comb the mountainous landscape across the Land of Israel in Shomron and Judea, seeking to discover special hiding places in which to put the gold, silver and bronze implements used in the temple services into safe hideouts.
Only then, as revealed in the 12th Mishnah of the Emek HaMalekh, they would wait in preparation for that day in the far future when the Messiah, the son of David would come to reveal their locations in preparation for the inauguration of the 3rd and final Temple of HaShem in the Land of Israel.
Mishnah 12 of the Emek HaMalekh – “Hiluk, son of Shimur HaLevi, was given twelve more precious stones in order to hide them so that they could [eventually] be restored to the Tribes [of Israel]. The names of the Tribes were engraved on them, and they shone on the Tribe's heads, excellent and precious, one more than the other. No king, prophet, or anyone else knew where they were hidden, excepting Hiluk, son of Shimur HaLevi. The remainder of the wealth and glory that was in Jerusalem was taken by angel Shimshiel. Shimur, Hiluk, and their companions, the Levites, later went and showed it to Michael and Gavriel.
All Israel concealed the Vessels until a righteous king arises over Israel. What's more, they all swore a solemn vow never to reveal the whereabouts of these vessels until David, son of David, arises. All silver, gold, and Margaliot (precious stones) which was ever hidden away will be handed over to him when the exiles of Israel will be gathered from the four ends of the earth, and they ascend with greatness and exaltation to the land of Israel. At that time, a great river will issue forth from the Holy of Holies of the Temple. Its name is Gihon, and it will flow to the great and dreadful desert, and become mixed with the Euphrates River. Immediately, all the Vessels will float up and be revealed.”
Only about twenty years after the first Babylonian invasion the city of Jerusalem, this famed city of antiquity was destroyed in the year of 586 BCE by the military forces of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. The House of G-d known as King Solomon’s Temple was destroyed. The Prophet Ezekiel and his father, Buzi had already gone to Babylon in an earlier exile, so it appears that that during this interim they also went on a secret mission by the direct command of the G-d of Israel to travel up into the lands of the Sakya Israelites nearby to the east of the Caspian Sea.
They were seeking to discover and identify the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel in order to prepare them for the reunification of the Lost House of Israel with the House of Judah who were also now in exile. Soon the call would go out for parts of the Lost Ten Tribes to be redeemed back to Jerusalem, the land of their forefathers. While this was happening, through the flames of the palace of Nineveh, and the destruction of the Ancient Assyrians, the Saki, the House of Israel began to fulfill their prophetic destiny:
Jeremiah 51:20-21 – “You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: for with you I will break the nation in pieces; with you I will destroy kingdoms; with you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; with you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider.”
Within seventy years, according to the Prophecy of Jeremiah, the Jews exiled in Babylon were now being prepared for their emancipation and set free to return to the Land of Israel. Was this to be done by a pagan king in the land of Babylon? No! Rather the amazing emancipation and freedom of the Jews came at the hands of the military forces of Cyrus the Great, who himself was a Lost Israelite of the Tribe of the Pasargadae (Tribe of Gad). Not only was Cyrus a Lost Israelite but his entire military force of the Medes and the Persians were Lost Israelites led by the Persian General Gobryas, a tribal chieftain also a Lost Triber of the tribe of Gad.
They came down and surrounded the mighty city of Babylon. In an amazing military triumph of diverting the waters of the Euphrates River, the mighty river was lowered just enough to allow the Israelite troops to enter through the Water Gates under the city’s impregnable walls. The Persian forces not only captured and took control of this amazing city of antiquity, they did so without shedding one drop of Jewish blood. As we think upon this fact, our hearts ponder with wonder how the hand of the Divine One of Israel continually guides the ways and the paths of his lost and wayward children.
So these were the same Lost Israelites that the G-d of Israel in a prophetic vision to the Prophet Ezekielcommanded in a divine call to the Prophet Ezekiel, to go find the “brazen faced ones” that had continued to defy the Almighty One of Israel and open their eyes to their divine destiny. This secret mission was accepted by Buzi, a temple priest, who was also the Prophet Ezekiel’s father; “Buzi with the prophetic eye.” Together they with Buzi’s five disciples traveled to the land of the Medes about the year 600 BCE. There they began their divine mission to begin the restoration of the Lost Ten Tribes back to the fold of Torah Judaism.

The Reformation of Primitive Buddhism and how they relate to the Jewish Settlers in Shomron and Judea
It may seem hard to understand what the original Buddhist’s (followers of Buzi/Buddhi) religious beliefs were like. Buddhism in its most primitive and ancient form is now accepted to have begun spreading across Eurasia about the year of 600 BCE. What is understood, is that the spiritual lives they professed, practiced and lived then is not the same as practiced by Buddhism today.
We will suggest that Primitive Buddhism was an inoculation of true Temple of Solomon Torah Judaism implanted by a Jewish priest and son, the prophet, into the lives and culture of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. This was before the Lost Ten Tribes began to disseminate and scatter across Eurasia as “The Wanderers” to the East in Nepal, India, Cambodia, Viet Nam and over to Japan and to the west across Samartha, Crimea and Ukraine north of the Black Sea and the Balkans below until most of them settled in the dense unpopulated forests of Northern Gaul.
It appears that Primitive Buddhism was cloned from the reformation within both the Houses of the Lost Ten Tribes of the Israelites by Jewish emissaries that were sent by the G-d of Israel to restore parts of Torah Judaism back into the religious spiritual life of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Understand, Buzi and Ezekiel were a part of the Aaronic priesthood that did not apostatize with the rest of Israelites from the Northern House of Israel.
It was a monotheistic reformation seeking to redeem the Lost Ten Tribes away from the pagan cultures that they were assimilating within, after they first created, and later amalgamated and worshipped while living during the days of the great apostasy in the Land of Samaria under the rule of King Ahab and Jezebel. The Lost Israelites were to become noted as the creator of many religions and later apostasies; the most famous being the Roman Catholic Christian Church.
Is it not strange that in the region of Shomron or Samaria today, the mountains of Shomron is same land that is in such contention in the world today between the Lost Ten Tribes living in the Northern Regions of the European Union against their cousins, the Jews of the House of Judah. This is the same land that after the Lost Israelites were cast out in exile became a land that was not wanted, and remained desolate, rejected by the nations of the world for millenniums except when the “green thumb” and the fertile and spiritual minds of the Jewish people rested upon its soil.
Truly over the centuries it would become a “No Man’s Land” until the fifty Jubilee years that occurred between the years of 1917 and 1967 were over. After the 3-day war in 1967, the city of Jerusalem and the “mountains of Shomron and Judea” were now under the control of a Hebrew Jewish government.
Now, because the Jewish pioneers and patriots are building homes in this once “no man’s land” the rest of the world has now become jealous. They lust for its possession to give to a non-peoples called the Palestinians whose internationally accepted homeland is the Land of Jordan.
Mount Emei, the High Eyebrow Mountain is the Highest Lost Israelite Pilgrimage sites of the Four Sacred Mountains of the Lost Israelite Buddhism
Yet, was not this land in Samaria once the homeland of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, whose capital was called Samaria? Is it not true that in this same region, the Jewish pioneers and patriots of Israel are returning a favor to the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel whose ancient military forces, 2,500 years ago redeemed the Jews exiled in Babylon and Persia? And then by the decree of the Lost Israelite Persian rulers, the Jews were restored back to Jerusalem and the Land of Israel to reclaim their ancient homeland in Jerusalem and the mountains of Judea; the very same “mountains” that are also now wanted by the Palestinian peoples.
Today, these same Jewish patriots are also returning a favor to the Lost Israelites who are still imbedded in their ancient religious apostasies of Buddhism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, and Roman Catholic and Protestant Christianity. Soon the day is coming when they will all be redeemed and restored back together in brotherhood and reunited again into a Greater Israel. This time it will be ruled under “The Messiah” a Prince of Kings David and Solomon called David son of David.
In our modern world today, the monotheistic theology of Islam has been captured by a culture of death instead of a culture of life that was given to the Children of Israel by HaShem, the G-d of Israel at the mount called Sinai. The traces of this ”Culture of Life” became part of the monotheistic reformation that was brought by the Jewish Levite, Buzi the Buddha Mundi and Ezekiel, his son and given back to the Lost Ten Tribes living in India, Tibet and Nepal 2,600 years ago.
Was Prince Siddhartha a disciple of the Jewish Priest-Cohen, Buzi the father of the Prophet Ezekiel?
Not only that, the primal symbol of Buddhism called the “Dharma Chakra Wheel” as seen on the top of the Buddhist Stupas in Nepal and India today testify of that fact because they depict the “Wheels” of Ezekiel’s heavenly vision of the chariot of G-d called the Merkabah. The archeologists today who have restored the Maya Devi Temple at Lumbini for UNESCO and Japan have laid the claim that the birth of the Lost Israelite Sakyan Prince Siddhartha birth was in the year of 623 BCE yet there are other scholars are pushing that birthday later to the dates between 448 to 368 BCE.
Still using the Roman Catholic Gregorian Calendar, if Prince Siddhartha, later called the Gautama Buddha was born in 623 BCE and when he last left his palace at the age of 29, we are now talking about the year of 582 BCE that he began his search for spiritual enlightenment. Now six years later, after a reputed 49 days of meditation at the age of 35, the young Gautama Buddha was stated to have attained his Enlightenment. This would have been the year of 576 BCE.
Prince Siddhartha, as the Sakya Buddha died at the age of 84 which would have been in the year of 539 BCE. According to the historical chronicles of Sri Lanka, the coronation of the Emperor Aśoka (Aśoka in the Pāli language) was 218 years after the death of Buddha. According to the Theravāda countries today, the date of Buddha’s death was 544/545 BCE because the reign of the Emperor Ashoka was 60 years earlier. So it appears that the present birthdate and the date of death aligned with conventional chronology are within the range of the years in which the Prophet Ezekiel and his father, Buzzi were ministering to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel after the destruction of the Temple of Solomon by the Babylonians in 585 BCE. If we subtract 80-84 years from the birthdate of 623 BCE, we come to the years between 643-639 BCE.
According to the Pali canon in the Mahaparinibbana Sutta, the Buddha, at the age of 80 made the announcement that he would soon reach the deathless state of Parinirvana and his soul would abandon his earthly body. Later we read of the tradition that a blacksmith called Cundamade the last meal for the Buddha as an offering and afterwards the Buddha instructed his attendant Ānanda assure Cunda that his falling ill after eating at Cunda’s residence had nothing to do with his death, for the last meal for the Buddha was given as a source of great merit.
This meal has been a source of great contention over the centuries, for by one tradition, the Buddha was given pork as his last meal. This fact is rebuted by Oskar Von Hinüber along with Dr. Mettanando who present the thesis that he died from mesenteric infarction due to age rather than food poisoning. It also opens up the dialogue that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel for in spite of their rebellion to the G-d of Israel, and were called by the Almighty One as “brazen-faced” and “hard-hearted”, they also were adamantly opposed to eating pork, forbidden in the Torah, and a contention that some scholars use to suggest that Prince Siddhartha was not an Israelite if he willingly ate pork.
If Prince Siddhartha as the Gautama Mundi, was truly born in the year of 623 BCE, his exalted views of man returning to an ascendant level of human consciousness may have come from the “First Buddha” whose name was Buzi, for his disciples were called the “Buddhi” for “Buzi” and “Budii” in Hebrew are the same.
It is believed that the “First Buddha” being “Buzi the priest” gave the “rebellious house” of the Lost Tribes of Israel hidden insights and mystical hints on how to become intimate and at “One” with the G-d of Israel, for it was the Holy One of Israel who hid Himself so that the rebellious Israelites would have to come searching for him. Was the intense desire of the search by the Prince Siddhartha for “enlightenment” the beginning of the search by the Sakya people for an ascendant state of consciousness? Was it possible that Buzi the Aaronic priest with his son, the Prophet Ezekiel the vehicle were sent by the Holy One of Israel to the “hard-hearted” Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel in order to begin their return in love and fellowship with each other; the House of Israel and the House of Judah?
The Vision of the Prophet Ezekiel along River Chebar with G-d’s Merkabah
We then begin to wonder if the pathway of Buzi the priest with the Prophet Ezekiel his son, truly did cross paths with the young Sakyan Prince Siddhartha. It is now accepted by the archeologists of UNESCO that Prince Siddhartha was born in the year of 623 BCE by conventional chronology, because the Maya Devi Temple in Lumbini was dated to the year of 550 BCE. Yet, below the temple was a more primitive deposition layer that was an open air sacred place raised on a platform as though it was a place a place of reverence; in this case the birth place of the Lord Buddha.
Even so, Prince Siddhartha left behind his dream of royal aspirations as the Crown Heir to the throne of King Suddhodana of the Sakyas (Lost Israelites) living in Kapilavastu nearby to Lumbini. At the age of 29 years old, which in this timeline of Prince Siddhartha’s life would have been in the year of 582 BCE, Prince Siddhartha began his search for the eternal pathway of “enlightenment”. This was only four years after the final destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE when the King Zedekiah, blinded, along were the remnant of his Jewish people were taken back in exile to Babylon.
The River Chebar (Khebar) by Syrian Christian Monastery
Could the Prophet Ezekiel along with his father, Buzi a temple cohen (priest of the lineage of Aaron), have been already living in the land Nepal when Prince Siddhartha began his search to become an “Awakened One”, and serving as ambassadors of HaShem, the G-d of Israel who were sent as emissaries to instill within the mind of this future Holy Man of Buddhism the ways of Torah living; that is the elevated state of spiritual Torah consciousness? The message of the Holy One of Israel to the Prophet Ezekiel left no latitude of compliancy. He was ordered, compelled and would be given strict punishment if he did not comply with the prophetic words written on a scroll and then consumed by Ezekiel. All of this was preserved in the ancient texts; it would be at the risk of saving Ezekiel’s own soul.
Ezekiel 3:17-21 - “Son of Man, I have appointed you a sentinel for the House of Israel; when you hear a matter from My mouth, you shall warn them on My behalf. When I say of a wicked one, “Your shall surely die!” and you do not warn him, and do not speak up to warn the wicked one concerning his evil way, to save his life, then he, the wicked one, will die for his iniquity and I will demand his blood from your hand. But if you did warn the wicked on, yet he does not turn away from his wickedness and from his evil way, he will die for his iniquity and as for you, you will have saved your soul.
And when a righteous person turns from his righteousness and acts corruptly and I place a stumbling block before him he will die. Because you did not warn him he will die for his sin, and his righteousness that he did will not be remembered, and I will demand his blood from your hand. But you, if you did warn him, the righteous man, that the righteous man should not sin, and he did not sin, he will surely live because he was careful. And as for you, you will have saved your soul”
It appears that the Prophet Ezekiel did so good on his mission that the Almighty One of Israel entrusted him to become the “sentinel” for all the other nations surrounding the Land of Israel including the Prince of Israel in Jerusalem. His warning to them with the “Thus said the L-rd” was a warning; the reality of G-d’s judgment would follow.
What is accepted by Buddhist scholars is that Prince Siddhartha was a Kshatriya, one of the four varnas ‘social orders” of the Hindu ruling and military elite. It was his role as a prince to protect the social culture by fighting in times of war and governing in times of peace.
This now places the Hindu religion, which is not a religion that tells you what to believe and how to believe, but as a way of life of seeking higher concepts of spiritual reality without mandating a creed of rigid performance. Yes, Hinduism is also a child of the Lost Israelites as are also Christianity, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and Confucianism today. All of these were started by Lost Israelites of the House of Israel.
Since the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel had gone their rebellious way, the G-d of Israel would seventy years later in His great mercy open the gates of redemption and restoration to the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel at the same time that he was opening the gates of emancipation and restoration to the Jewish people living with the regions of the Satraps of Persia. Were these two isolated incidents in history or was the “hand of the Divine” involved in seeking to pave the way for the restoration of “All Israel”?
Again we inquire, did the Almighty One of Israel guide the pathways of Buzi the Jewish Cohen and the future, Lord Buddha, so that they would meet and so he could achieve the final step of his journey; become a disciple of the Jewish priest? By this he completed the final path to his “enlightenment” as a disciple of his mentor, Buzi the cohen with the “prophetic eye of the future”.
What was Prince Siddhartha’s first task since receiving his enlightenment and obtaining Buddhahood? He went out and in the manner of rabbinic Judaism, now as an “Awakened One” and gathered five disciples modeling after his role model, Buzi the Jewish cohen and his five Jewish disciples. The new “Shakyamuni”, then selected his five disciples to teach them that which he had learned from his master and mentor. As a “Budii” the new “Enlightened One” now became the “Supreme Buddha”.
The Seder Olam Rabbah (Great Order of the World) or the Jewish Calendar) and the Roman Catholic Scythian Monk, Dionysius Exiguus
When we are dealing with dates of antiquity, the most arduous dates have been the dates of the rulers of the Persian Empire. This is not surprising for there is a discrepancy between the Persian Imperial dates of over 160 years between the authentic Jewish Rabbinic Calendar called the “Seder Olam Rabbah” or the “Great Order of the World” known as the Jewish Rabbinic Calendar that started with Adam at Creation and the Roman Christian Gregorian calendar that was created and invented by the medieval Roman Israelite Scythian Christian monk, called Dionysius Exiguus (“Dennis the Humble).
Dionysius was known as “the most learned abbot in the city of Rome”, and are we surprised for he was genetically a Hebrew just like the Lost Israelites and Jewish people are today. It was Dionysius who sought to synchronize the Gregorian calendar with the Christianized Julian calendar. Yet, once again we see the finger of the Divine, hidden from the sight of man, who continued to mold and reframe the future destiny of the Jews of the House of Judah, and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel by the Hebrew Israelite prophets of old.
Consider the fact that this medieval Roman Catholic monk called Dionysius Exiguus was a member of the Scythian monk community concentrated in Constanta or Tomis, the major city of Scythia Minor. These Scythian monks were a community of monks that lived near the mouths of the Danube River that was named after the Tribe of Dan, who traversed this land first of all his tribal brethren.
It was they, the Scythians who played an influential role in the theological disputes in the early Roman Christian Church between the 4th and the 6th centuries, including the most famous, “The First Council of Nicaea” that divorced Roman Catholic Christianity and centuries later her Protestant daughters of Rome from their Jewish monotheistic roots. Instead the post-Nicene Roman Catholic Christian Church created a poly-theistic, Tripartite or Triune god patterned after ancient Canaanite polytheism. Even today, the Protestant Churches who once rebelled and “protested” against Roman Christianity have now returned to the “fold” for to be a Christian today means that you must believe in the Trinity and acceptant of the apostasy of Roman Christianity.
So, can we perceive the link that the creator of the Gregorian calendar for the Roman Catholic Church was a Scythian Lost Ten Triber who was truly lost in his ways, but yet still fulfilled the will of the Holy One of Israel? This was foretold to Daniel the Prophet that at the end of days (Daniel 7:29) that there would rise an apostate religious system that would seek to “change times and laws” while at the same time “speak blasphemy against the Most High G-d?”
Dionysius was a member of the Roman Curia about the year 500 AD and translated from Greek into Latin 401 ecclesiastical canons. They included the apostolic canons and the decrees of the Councils of Nicaea, Constantinople, Chalcedon and Sardis. It was Dionysius who invented the Anno Domini (AD) era that began the Christian era with the birth of the Jewish Prince of David called “The Nazarene” This date was then Christianized as 0 AD. Yet, Dionysius was at least six to seven years off in his calculations. A little corruption goes a long ways.
Today, Dionysius Exiguus appears to be an apostate Lost Israelite garbed in Romanized Christian clerical robes. He was born in the 6th century CE in Scythian Minor at Dobruja, a city that is shared by both Romania and Bulgaria. He was a member of the Scythian monk community in Tomis, a major city of Scythia Minor. I’m sure you now recognize this region for the “Royal Scythians of the North” were a major tribal component of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel that migrated to the west and became centuries later a part of the Scandinavian nations of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
While just redeemed by the warriors of the Lost Ten Tribes under the military rule of Cyrus the Great, many of the Jewish people were actually redeemed by the courageous act of Jewess Queen Esther when the Amalekite called, Haman the Agagite, signed the death warrant for all the Jews with the royal ring of King Ahasuerus, yet they were miraculously saved from a Holocaust.
We must remember, the decree to annihilate the Jewish people was not revoked, but revised with a provision that the Jewish people were given the freedom to defend themselves. Can we doubt, that many of their neighbors in the Satraps of Persia were no doubt of Lost Israelite origins? Once again they defended their tribal cousins the Jews and once again saved the Jewish people and allowed the Jews to accept their new liberty and emancipation and move back to their old homeland in Jerusalem.
While many of the Jews in Persia declined the offer of repatriation and resettlement by the Pasargadae Israelite Shah of Persia, Cyrus the Great, and refused to make aliyah to the Land of Israel, other Jews instead it appears trekked upwards to the shores of the of the Caspian Sea and there they jointed their fate with their Israelite brethren of the Ten Northern Tribes in the regions between the Black and the Caspian Seas.
This region was well known in antiquity. As we shall soon see, for it was here, that Buzi the Aaronic Cohen along with his five disciples went to the lands of the Lost Ten Tribes. Yet the region of the Caspian and the Black Sea were not the only homelands of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. In the context of the Great Vision of the Heavenly Merkabah that was given to Buzi’s son, Prophet Ezekiel, this delegation sent by the Divine One of Israel were already living, working with and giving to the Lost Israelites a new vision so they could soon return could return in aliyah to Halakkhic Jewish Torah understanding.
The Capital City of Seleucia-on-the-Tigris on the Western Side of the Tigris River and the Lost Israelite Parthian Capital of Ctesiphon on the Eastern side of the Tigris
Casaphia (Casphia) was the ancient Capital City of the Parthian Lost Israelite Empire
Nearby to the Jews living in the Satraps of Persia was the city of Babylon built over the Euphrates River. We do know that Babylon on the Euphrates River is located 56 miles south of ancient Baghdad. Just to the east of the Euphrates River as it curves towards the east is the Tigris River. On the eastern shore of the Tigris River only 16 miles south east of Baghdad was the Lost Israelite Parthian capital of Ctesiphon. On the other side of the Tigris River was one of the capitals of the Seleucid Empire called “Seleucid on the Tigris”.
This was a place where the Jewish cleric, Ezra the Scribe knew fully their whereabouts when he sent a Jewish delegation to the Scythian Lost Israelites. It was Ezra who requested that the Lost Israelite tribes, according to Isabel Elder in the article titled, “Buddha the Israelite” send Levites to work in the newly constructed Temple of Zerubbabel in Jerusalem.
Ezra 8:17 – “I assembled them at the flowing river, at the Ahava, and we encamped there for three days. I then scrutinized the people and the Kohanim, but I could find no Levites there. So I dispatched the leaders…and the sages…I directed them to the leader Iddo, in the place Casiphia, and I gave them a message to convey to Iddo [and] his brother, who were settled in the place Casiphia, to bring us ministers for the Temple of our G-d.
By the benevolence of the hand of our G-d to us, they brought to us a wise man of the descendants of Mahil [grandson] of Levi son of Israel…and of the Nethinim, whom David and his officers had designated for the service of the Levites, two hundred twenty Nethinim, all of them designated by name.
This fact may cause great consternation for those with the understanding that the Lost Ten Tribes were totally lost and a hundred years after their exile they were clueless as to their own identity. As apostates and renegades who insisted on continuing to defy the G-d of Israel that the Holy One of Israel called them “brazen faced”, this may be correct.
Yet, if the story of Buzi the Aaronic Kohen who did journey to the land of the Lost Israelites is correct, Buzi may also have known that the Lost Israelites did have genetic Aaronic priests of the tribe of Levi whose ancestors did rebel against the G-d of Israel. Since they were of the pure genetic lineage of Aaron the High Priest, they were still eligible to be retrained back to the service of the Almighty One of Israel.
This is true also today, a Jew whose mother is genetically a Jew, will with great pleasure be assimilated back into Jewish culture if he returns with teshuva, repentance with a penitent heart, emuna, faith that HaShem will restore him back into the fold of Judaism, and kedusha, willingness to live a life of holiness.
At the time of the great apostasy of the Northern Ten Tribes after the death of King Solomon, many of the priests (cohens) who did their yearly duties in Jerusalem went also into apostasy and stayed with the Northern Israelites. Yet genetically they were still priests and legally, even though they may have been spiritually mistaken were still genetically eligible to be a part of the Levitical priesthood.
As with any Jew today, who goes on his own and assimilates into a non-Jewish or pagan culture, he still can return in aliyah, and join himself back into oneness with his own genetic and tribal peoples. According to the Ezra decree with the Jewish returnees back to the city of Jerusalem, it was critical to have a strong and cohesive Jewish identity and presence, and so the Jewish truism enacted by the Jewish cleric with Ezra the Scribe just before the Temple was rebuilt, “to be a Jew, your mother must be a Jew” is still observed to this day as a norm of Judaism. Even so, at the emancipation of the Jews by King Cyrus the Great, the foreign wives to Jewish husbands had to return to Babylon/Persian region, as it appears, conversion was not allowed for foreign or pagan wives. But what if their wives were Lost Israelites?
Were Lost Israelites who may have returned to dwell with the Jewish people in Persia, the land of Iran today, assimilated back into the Jewish Persian culture in the surrounding regions of Baghdad nearby to the both the Euphrates and the Tigris in the Mesopotamian Valley? Was this aliyah a foretaste of the aliyah that is destined to come soon as the Jewish Maschiach, David son of David is placed by HaShem, the G-d of as the new ruler of the world?

Preparing for the Reunion and Restoration of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel with the Jews of the House of Israel
In Part Three of this series, in the Destination Yisrael article titled, “Buzi the Jewish Cohen in Solomon’s Temple was the First “Buddha Mundi”, we learned about the story of Buzi the Aaronic Cohen who went to the land of Media by the Caspian Sea where the Lost Tribes of Israel had been sent into exile over 100 years before the Jewish people were sent into exile into Babylon. It was part of Buzi’s message that the days of redemption and restoration to the Lost Ten Tribes had now come. We may assume that just a little over seventy years later, according to conventional historical time, Buzi the Aaronic Cohen went to the land of Media by the Caspian Sea and innumerable peoples from the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Judah were “converted” back to the spiritual and religious ways of their forefathers.
The evidence suggests that Buzi took the language of Hebrew and imbedded it back into the Arian Pali language of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. While the Jews were in exile in the land of Babylon and now given their freedom as they were being repatriated back to the land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem, the Lost Ten Tribes were freely establishing their own new identity as the Saki or Sakya people, the Royal Scythians of the North and the Iranian Sasanians.
During this era, Rome was by far not the largest city in the world. The largest city was Ctesiphon, and it was the capital of the Lost Israelite Parthians who traced their ancestry directly back to the Persian Shah Darius II who lost his life in conflict with Alexander the Great, for Darius II was the son of Darius I, known in history as the Persian Shah Cyrus (Darius I) by his Jewish wife, Queen Esther.
In this era of antiquity, the power center of the Roman Empire was not in Rome in Italy, but was in New Rome called Constantinople on the Bosporus; called Constantine’s city. For the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire it was a must to conquer Ctesiphon, for this city was the most powerful competitor for world dominion and Ctesiphon was the capital of the indomitable warriors of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel called the Ar-Sakes.
When we consider that 4th century Imperial Rome was a mega city of 13.7 square kilometers whose walls were breeched twice by the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel by the Germanic Israelite Visigoths and the Vandals in the 4th century; the city of the Ctesiphon was twice Rome’s size. Ctesiphon was 30 square kilometers in size and the largest city in the world from the year of 570 CE until it final demise by the Muslim conquests in 637 CE.
After Alexander III of Macedonia invaded the land of Iran, it raised to the forefront the serious conflicts between the Iranian Aryan traditional values and the Hellenistic way of life. These were conflicts that polarized the governance of an oriental monarchy and the Grecian city state. It was polarized between the Western economic system of private enterprise, and the controlled oriental monarchial economy that was loosely governed by the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
With the death of Alexander the Great in Babylon, the Grecian political world fragmented into four separate state of which the most prominent was the Grecian Empire of Seleucia. Interestingly one of the capitals of Seleucia was their most eastern capital on the Grecian frontier along the Tigris River about 20 miles from Baghdad.
The Aryan Israelite Empire of Iran that grew from the governance of Deioces of Mede, flourished during the august era of Cyrus the Great (Darius I) and his son King Darius II. They remained triumphant over the mythical greatness of the Alexander’s Hellenistic Grecian Empire that sought to sprout its capitalistic roots and democratic idealism across the Middle East.
Engraved Coin of the Lost Israelite Scythian King Arsaces I, 247-211 BCE from the Nisa Mint
As the Macedonian and the Greeks were assimilated into Iranian Persian soil, their identity soon ceased to exist. Over the centuries, the Iranian Lost Israelites who appear vanquished like their Jewish brothers to the west in Palestine, truly rose up and culturally overwhelmed the Greeks. With much magnificence, the post Alexander of Macedonia Era watched the genetic posterity of the Macedonian Greeks of Alexander become a blip in the fading history of the Seleucids after the Jewish Maccabees triumphantly drove out the army of the Seleucid King Antiochus Epiphanies IV walk.
The Greeks disappeared and faded into the mist of history as they culturally became the “face of Rome.” Grecian Hellenism and the Israelite-Jewish way of life would never mix; for here the Israelites and the Jews one, they were a “Separate People.”
In the wake of the fading Grecian Empire rose Arsaces I, a chieftain of the Parni tribe of the DahaeScythians, rose up and conquered Parthia. Arsaces I was not the inheritors of the Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great, but rather carried the legacy of the Achaemenid Persian Empire of the Persian Shah Cyrus the Great who was also a Lost Israelite of the Pasargadae Tribe of the Israelite tribe of Gad. He became the bridge from the end of the Achaemenid Persian dynasty to the Parthian Israelite Dynasty who then became the Second Sassanid Persian Dynasty until conquered by the Islamic rulers of the Rashidun who were the “Four Rightly Guided Caliphs of Islam”
As a Scythian, Arsaces I was a Lost Israelite king, who was part of the “Great Wanderers” of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, as Syncellus identified “were allegedly descendants of the Persian Artaxerxes IIAchaemenid king”.
Yet it was Rabbi Jose b. Halafta, a prominent Jewish Haggadist and author of the Seder Olam Rabba, a chronicle of the history of the world from the Creation of Adam to the time of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, identified the Persian Shah Darius II, as the son of the Cyrus the Great (Darius I) for according to the Babylonian Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 3b, “Cyrus, Darius, Artaxerses are one and the same person. He was called Cyrus (Kores) because he was a good (Kaiser) king; Artaxerses was the name of his kingdom, Darius was his proper name.”
So, Arsaces I became the founder of the Arsacid Parthian Empire that was the bridge to the last and final ancient Iranian Persian Empires called the Second Sassanid Persian Empire. The capital of the Arsacid Parthian Empire, Ctesiphon became one of the largest and most power cities of the ancient world starting in the 1st century BCE.
Ezra’s Casphia and Kasfia was the Ancient Parthian Israelite Capital of Ctesiphon
Ctesiphon’s name alone is found in the Book of Ezra as the once unknown place called Kasfia or Casphia. The name was a derivative of the ethnic name of Cas, a cognate of Caspian and Qazvin. It was here the place that the Jewish Scribe Ezra sent back a plea to the Lost Ten Tribes of the Parthian Empire for help to send over “genetic blood-lined Cohens” to be trained for use in the newly build Temple of Zerubbabel in Jerusalem.
In the days of the Persian Empire, just south of the city of Baghdad today, on the eastern shores of the Tigris River, the Lost Tribes of Israel had a village named Ctesiphon, or “Casphia” that would eventually become a military staging centers for the warriors of the Lost Ten Tribes. After the fall of the Achaemenid Persian Empire by the Persian Shah Darius II to Alexander the Great around the year 332 BCE, this region came under the control of the Parthian Empire, a potent warrior culture of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel.
It is interesting to consider that Ezra was truly sending for a call or plea to one of the cities of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel for priests of the Aaronic blood lineages seventy years after the Jews were expelled from Jerusalem in 586 BCE or 236 years (350 BCE) according to the Calendar of the Jews.
The modern disconnect within Christian and Jewish scholars is that the identity of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel was lost completely. This only suggests that we today have blinders also over our eyes. The G-d of Israel always knew where His chosen, but “brazen faced” and rebellious Israelites were and as we have seen, they were always there at G-d’s behest to stir the pot in the nations of the world so that the identity of the Jewish people would never be forgotten.
So Casiphia in the days of Ezra the Scribe was the famed military base of Ctesiphon first built by the Israelite Parthians who later merged into the Sasanian Persian Empire, also known as the Second Sassanid Persian Empire. Their capital city of Ctesiphon was built on the eastern shoreline of the Tigris River. Would you believe that they placed their military headquarters as a stop-gate barrier entry into the Persian-Parthian Empire to the East? Who were they protecting their kingdom from?
On the western bank of the Tigris was the Eastern Capital of the Greek Seleucid Empire; “Seleucia on the Tigris.” This was one of the famous cities of the infamous King Antiochus Epiphanies IV the antagonist of the Jewish Maccabees in Judea, the Land of Modern Israel. So, Ctesiphon was first built by the Lost Ten Tribes called the Parthians. Its fame rose to international prominence by the Israelite Parthian Imperial rulers in the 1st century CE. It remained the seat of government for most of the Parthian Israelite rulers whose military was one with the Royal Scythian Horsemen of theNorth. This fact is enhanced even greater by the words of Strabo as he described the city’s foundation at Ctesiphon:
Strabo – “In ancient times Babylon was the metropolis of Assyria; but now Seleucia is the metropolis, I mean the Seleucia on the Tigris, as it is called. Nearby is situated a village called Ctesiphon, a large village. This village the kings of the (Israelite) Parthians were wont to make their winter residence, thus sparing the Seleucians, in order that the Seleucians might not be oppressed by having the Scythian folk or soldiery quartered amongst them.
Because of the Parthian power, therefore, Ctesiphon is a city rather than a village; its size is such that it lodges a great number of people, and it has been equipped with buildings by the Parthians themselves; and it has been provided by the Parthians with wares for sale and with the arts that are pleasing to the Parthians; for the Parthian kings are accustomed to spend the winter there because of the salubrity of the air, but they summer at Ecbatana and in Hyrcania because of the prevalence of their ancient renown. (Strabo XVI, 1, 16)
As we begin to decipher these strange and merge fact of ancient history, we are reminded that the symbols of the “Vision of the Prophet Ezekiel”, Buzi’s son, that included the “Wheel within the Wheel” of HaShem’s Merkabah, the “Trident Flesh Fork” of the temple priests became a part of the Lost Israelites spiritual symbols and iconology. Even the “Lion Rampage” symbol of the Lost Israelites that later would become the symbol on the flag of Scotland in the Isles of the West, as the Unicorn the symbol of the English royalty.
Then we have the merging of Israel and Judah’s symbols that the Cohen Buzi left behind that also became the mutual identities with Buzi’s (Buddha’s) disciples with the Lost Ten Tribes his Lost Tribal disciples for they were called the “Budii”. When they later migrated to the west, these symbols were adapted into the national symbols in the Isles of the West with the “Union Jack” or the “Union of Jacob” with the cross later known inserted as the “Cross of St George” as today seen on the large tope or tumulus at Sanchi.
Did the Sakyan Israelite Prince Siddhartha, who became the Supreme Buddha meet Buzi the Temple Cohen?
Sakyan Israelite Prince Siddhartha
Also during this era, according to archeologist in India and Nepal, the first flowering of Buddhism in its most primitive form began to spread across the landscape of Eurasia about the year of 600 BCE. Other serious archeologist and historians of Buddhism state now that Prince Siddhartha Gautama, outside of the UNESCO date the birth of Gautama to be somewhere between the years of 563 BCE to 483 BCE or even as later towards 400 BCE. With the birthplace of the Gautama Buddha at the Maya Devi Temple of Lumbini now dated to 550 BCE, the earlier shrine beneath may officially push the date of the Israelite Buddha back before the fall of Jerusalem and the first invasion of King Nebuchadnezzar to conquer the city of Jerusalem, making the UNESCO birthdate of 623 BCE as the real date of his birth.
What is understood, is that the spiritual lives the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel professed, practiced and lived after having Buzi the Cohen and Ezekiel the Prophet living within their midst and according to the mandate of the Divine, being a “sentinel” or a judge within their midst, the religious life form of the Lost Israelites could have brought a sense of spiritual brotherhood back between the Lost Ten Tribes and the Jews living first in Babylon and later in the Satraps of Persia.
We could only suggest that truly there could have been a spiritual revival amongst the Lost Tribes that did bring about a era spiritual enlightenment as the flowering of Torah Judaism permeated in the life of Prince Siddhartha and throughout the Lost Ten Tribes. Yet, the spiritual life of Torah observance relived in the lives of the Budii disciples and followers of Buzi the priest was truly of a higher plane of spiritual reality than as practiced by Buddhism today. Neither was it the same religious beliefs called Buddhism that was practiced in India when Buddhism was established by the Emperor Ashoka as the state religion three hundred years later in the 4th century BCE.
Yet in the earliest and most primitive era in which we are seeking, it appears that the Prophet Ezekiel with his father the temple priest Buzi plus five disciples, which were the same number of disciples that the Gautama Buddha later had after he became an “Awakened One” may be an indication that Buzi did become a spiritual mentor of Prince Siddhartha and assisted him in achieving his elevated state of spiritual enlightenment. This could only have had a possible chance of occurring because of the travels of Buzi and Ezekiel to the lands of the Lost Sakya Israelites.
Prince Siddhartha and his Five Disciples
Before Nebuchadnezzar, and before the 70 year exile of the Jewish people to Babylon, there appear to be two groups of people that were contemporary with each other; the Prophet Ezekiel, his father the Jewish cohen as a priest in the Temple of Solomon and his five disciples, later called “The Budii” and a Prince of the Lost Israelite Sakya tribes, Prince Siddhartha and his five disciples.
Within the 70 years of the Babylonian Empire, the Lost Tribes of Israel had already populated a large sector of the region of Khorasan on the borders of the Caspian Sea. They were already preparing to make their debut as one of the most powerful forces in military history when under the rule of King Cyrus the Great, a Pasargadae Israelite, and his military commander Gobryas, an Israelite chieftain of the Tribe of Gad, led the Lost Israelite military forces from the land of Media now returning to the land of Babylon. This laid the foundation for the emancipation and restoration of the Jewish people back to their homeland in Jerusalem and later Roman Judea.
Then the G-d of Israel once again took His divine finger and began to maneuver the nations of the then-known-world. First came the Israelite Greek Argive Prince of the Macedonians, Alexander the Great. As the symbolic “Type” of the “He-Goat” of Daniel 8, Alexander butted heads with the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel in Khorasan and then waged war against the Lost Israelite Arian “Persian Ram” of the Achaemenids; King Darius II. This famous series of military battles will go down as one of the most remembered battles in earth’s history.
In that era just after the 34 years of the Persian reign of King Darius I (Cyrus the Great) and King Darius II, the son of the Persian Shah and his Jewess wife, Queen Esther, the prophet and the cohen priest no doubt traveled first from the Babylonian region of the River Chebar (Khebar), a tributary of the Euphrates River over to the paralleled mega river system of the Tigris, whose waters were more rapid. At this time, they could have stayed with the Lost Israelites in Ctesiphon on the eastern shoreline of the Tigris River. The Lost Israelites had already been exiled over one hundred years prior to the Jewish exile. The Lost Tribes were already known to have been dwelling in a village called Ctesiphon where they quartered their military headquarters in these early years.
If so, then Buzi and Ezekiel could have met with Lost Israelites residing already on the eastern shoreline of the Tigris for the Divine Providence has provided, because of the exile first of the Lost Ten Tribes and later by a hundred years the exile of the Jewish people, nearby in Babylon on the even before a Jew set his feet in the city of Babylon nearby on the Euphrates. Even so, the journey for Buzi and Ezekiel was not over, for then they headed north to the Caspian Sea where the greatest bulk of the various tribes of the Lost Israelites were still residing.
The Jewish Temple Symbols are indelibly a part of Buddhism and the Potent Symbols of the Lost Israelites living in Northern Europe.
The symbols of the “Vision of the Prophet Ezekiel”, Buzi’s son, that included the “Wheel within the Wheel” of HaShem’s Merkabah, the “Trident Flesh Fork” of the temple priests became a part of the Lost Israelites spiritual symbols and iconology. Even the “Lion Rampage” symbol of the Lost Israelites later would become the symbol on the flag of Scotland in the Isles of the West, as the Unicorn the symbol of the English royalty.
Then the merging of Israel and Judah’s symbols that the Cohen Buzi left behind also became the mutual identities with Buzi’s (Buddha’s) disciples with the Lost Ten Tribes his Lost Tribal disciples for they were called the “Budii”. When they later migrated to the west, these symbols were adapted into the national symbols in the Isles of the West with the “Union Jack” or the “Union of Jacob” with the cross later known inserted as the “Cross of St George” as today seen on the large tope or tumulus at Sanchi.
Here at the Rock Temple at Azanta, we discovered that the symbols of the “Star and Banner” of the flag of the United States, the “Trident and Shield” with the Isle of Britannia, plus the “Lion and the Unicorn” crouching at peace at the foot of Buddha were also at the temple of Ajanta, where the Buddha sits on the marble throne in the entrance to the large and imposing rock temple at Ajanta.
These are today a part of the Royal Seal of the Monarchy of England while the “Trident” became a symbol of the priestly “Flesh Fork” used while preparing the sacrificial offerings in Solomon’s Temple. Everywhere that the Lost Ten Tribes wandered, these symbols of Israel became a trace of their past and a clue of their present identity with Buddhism of that ancient era.

The G-d of Israel proclaimed that there are only two groups of people who will be restored back into covenant with Him, the Jews of the House of Israel and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Both families, the Jews and the Israelites were scattered across the face of the earth and would become HaShem emissaries incognito sent to elevate the 70 nations of the world, so that even Righteous Gentiles could become part of the covenant. Even the children of Ishmael still rooted in Islam, the children of the Lost Ten Tribes who today are now Buddhist, or the Lost Ten Tribes who today call themselves Christians will be assimilated into the Jewish culture. This will be because deep in their hearts they are known by the Divine to be “safe to save” and willing to live in peace with their brothers; all descendants of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Only the G-d of Israel knows who they are.
We are quickly being polarizing a world in which there will be only two choices; we are either for the Hebrew Israelites; both now part of the Jews of the house of Judah and the Lost Israelites of the House of Israel or we will be against them. This comes to one sobering conclusion, if you are a descendant of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, whether Muslim, Buddhist or Christian, and you still despise your brothers, the Jews, you may be left outside, not redeemed to participate in the coming “Era of the Messiah” even though you think you want to be a part of them.
So today, the G-d of Israel is whistling for you to come back home to the brotherhood of Klal Yisra’el (All Israel).
