Yes. You could translate it "shinto" but it wouldn't be accurate since it doesn't differentiate between singular and plural. The idea of what god is is quite different in judaism and shinto.
I think so.
The doctrine might have been lost in the long years during the journey
however, it is said its costume is very similar.
If the Japanese truly are the lost tribe of Israel, they have come a long way from the rest. Just read the Jewish scriptures dating thousands of years back
ancient Yamato history was lost because of Book burning in 645. that is all document of Yamato were burnt.
after that, The history was written by the hereditary role of the narrator in the early imperial court. That is, nothing of the part of especially old age more than the legend about which the people who understood the history from the mind talked.
Therefore, how Nohonshoki is compared with the Bible?
The event that repeatedly looks like well is recorded in both books though
there are many differences.
There is a description written about the god's descendant race in Nohonshoki.
What was happen until making the Smera (sumera) kingdom on the ground of Yamato?( Japanese emperor is called Sumera Mikoto)
Sumera mikoto - The Emperor (天皇 tennō, literally "heavenly sovereign") is currently a constitutionally-recogniz
It is understood that ten tribes existed at least by 800 years from captivity
in a Bible and an ancient record while maintaining race's identity.
That is, it was not lost yet..
according to the Successive history of Bible?, It is being written that they were the opposite Euphrates, BC4th century
according to Josephus Flavius, 800 later from captivity,
(
http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/josephus/josephus.htm )
Ten tribes descend to the other side of the Euphrates side now, become huge crowds, and the population is inscrutable.
It is the second Ezra book written in the first century though the place is not specified............they are there from the Euphrates for the distance of one and a half years.
and they passed through a place called Aruzaret?
it is said it was Afghanistan.
The people who say Israeli's descendant lives in Afghanistan today.
The meaning called Afghan is a proselyte in Aramaic.
It took four months to return to Jerusalem by the Babylonian captivity. (ezura7-9)
if they went through silk road by this pace, where would they get to...central Asia around Kirgiz
It is the vicinity of present Kirgiz recorded for just ten tribes to have been
kidnapped in the Bible.
They lived in Central Asia in Afghanistan and Kirgiz, etc. for about 800 years.
A Mongoloid race of the Halha , the Uighur people, Uzbek, and Turkman, etc. lived in Central Asia.
They intermarry gradually and are changed into Mongoloid features.
However, I think that it maintained the identity though features are changed at this time.
It is because of relating through the silk road. It is because there was the traffic of the thing, information and person.
It seems that there was the race's communication through the silk road until
the first century.
The silk road separates from Luoyang of China into two at the previous huge Taklamakan Desert exceeding the desert area.
It joins both routes again in Mashhad in Iran when westering further.
the caravan comes to Mediterranean sea district by way of Hamadan
They pass the territory in Israel named Hera and Habol(?). The description of the Ezra writing information at end of the 1st century can be understood.
why did 10 tribes head to Japan from central Asia.?
I don't know? LOL.I just guess Climate change from 1st~ 3rd century
Taklamakan Desert is the big desert between Kirgiz and Afghanistan.
Land went to ruin by desertification and the town became ruins. People aim at the new land.
The name of Taklimakan (Takla Makan) means the town that became ruins by the Hebl Aramaic. (Tikla makom)
According to Sven Hedin,
Sven Hedin - Wikipedia
The legend of the town that buried in the sand for a long time is described to the
race around here.
In the legend, it was a pagan that lived in this town.
Damnation happened because they had refused to teach Islam.
Sand fall for several days like rain and the resident was buried in the sand
with the ground and the town.
Hedin has seen trees of the popular in the shore in ruins in the town in the lake that is ashore and the river before.
According to Ellsworth Huntington,
Ellsworth Huntington - Wikipedia
there was rich life because the bridge in the desert, the glass, the kneading thing, the neck decorations, and etc are seen.( coins were made in
Han Dynasty)
They do after a while and arrive at Kaifeng of China.
Kaifeng - Wikipedia
they are called Chinese -Jewish today
William Whyte wrote, "The discovered ancient inscription shows that the Jew came here first during the Han dynasty."
They have been changed into other similar Chinese and Mongoloid features.
The knowledge that means where the ancestor has already come is lost, too.
Large majority advances toward northeast further and will arrive at a Korean
peninsula before long.
They hear that there is a big island in the place in which it goes across the
sea in the east.
First of all, the island really was suitable for the living or, might have sent the advance force.
( then I understand the relation between Korea and Japan at that time)
The native people' subjugation might have quoted
Yevusi= Emishi from the Bible. ( it mean the Enemy to conquer the land of promise in the Bible)
The communication with the Jew in Jewish land before was completely lost.....
I think that was the 2~4th century
