Avigdor Shachan

Avigdor Shachan, educator, author, and historian, traveled widely to distant countries of central Asia and examined hidden scrolls extracted from dust-laden shelves in libraries. He studied the concealed references of crumbling maps, perused original and translated manuscripts of the chroniclers of the history of the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Jews, Britons, Chinese and Japanese. He analyzed the testimonies of tourists, adventurers, warriors and missionaries to follow their tracks. In 2003, Dr. Shachan published his findings in the acclaimed Hebrew text, Towards the Sambatyon River – a Journey in the Footsteps of the Ten Tribes.
