We may be agreeing here. The above statement could be true in the Era of
Solomon's reign when Israel was the preeminent power in the region. This
was a rare condition though. That land was usually part of someone else's
empire. Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Greece, Rome, and then it ceased to exist.
The Romans then named it Palestina - the land of the Philistines. When they
did this 135/6 CE, the Philistines no longer existed. I'm not certain about
this though.

I simply meant that their ships were neither big enough, nor numerous
enough to transport the ten tribes to proto America.

I think we are saying the same thing.
