You have heard wrong. Slavs have their origin in tribes from the south:

Who had their origin in the proto-Slavs:

Vikings, and viking influence came much later.
In any event, Scandinavians have their origin from the proto-Indo-European peoples themselves, and originally would have had their origin in the steppes of Ukraine and the Caucasus.

I believe what you are referring to is the poeople of Rus, who were Scandinavian Norsemen mixed with the Slavic tribes. It is important to understand that there is a difference between Norse and Slav.


Although I'm not too sure about the 10 lost tribes you mention, but then I doubt any of their ancestors(if they were still around) do, either..
