I came across the 12 tribes of Israel. Some say there was originally 13 tribes. The exotic tribes of ancient India originating from the 13 wives of Kashyapa came to my mind. The reason why I made the Kashyapa connection is the Tribe of Dan. I saw Tribe of Dan being linked to Danavas of exotic tribes of India. Danavas originate from goddess Danu, one of the 13 main wives of Kashyapa. Danavas are also linked to Tuatha De Danann.
The 12 tribes of Israel are also mentioned as “house of Dan, “house of Usher,” “house of Judah” etc. There are Gemstones and symbols related to the tribes. This can be also linked to the 12 houses of the Zodiac and gemstones and symbols related to them in vedic astrology.
The story is that these tribes were in contact with humans in the past Yugas. Once the Kali Yuga started, the tribes retreated.
