About the test

Celts of Europe — Warriors, Druids, and the Iron Age World

Before Rome ruled the continent, before written history fixed borders and names, the Celts shaped Europe. From the mist-covered hills of Albion to the river valleys of Gaul, the Alpine heartlands of Austria, and the rugged interior of Iberia, Celtic peoples forged a shared cultural world defined by warrior elites, master metalworkers, far-reaching trade networks, and powerful mythological traditions. This compendium invites you to discover whether your DNA connects you to the peoples who defined Iron Age Europe.

This is a truly pan-European ancestral journey, reconstructing Celtic history across thousands of kilometers and nearly a millennium of time—revealing how deeply interconnected Europe already was long before empires arose.

What tests are included in this compendium?
This collection merges four major ancient DNA reconstructions, each representing a key region of the Celtic world:

  • Celts of Albion (873 – 233 BC)
    Explore the genetic legacy of Iron Age Britain, where hillforts, chariot warriors, and tribal kingdoms laid the foundations of later British identity.

  • Celts of Austria (350 BC)
    Connect to the Celtic heartland of Central Europe—home to Hallstatt and La Tène culture—where iron technology, ritual practice, and elite networks defined Celtic civilization.

  • Celts of France (750 – 225 BC)
    Discover the peoples of ancient Gaul, whose oppida, craftsmanship, and resistance to Roman conquest became legendary across Europe.

  • Spanish Celtiberians, Celtic Iberians (600 – 200 BC)
    Journey into the Iberian interior, where Celtic traditions blended with local cultures to form fierce warrior societies and unique regional identities.
What will you receive?
You will receive a richly detailed ancestral profile integrating ancient DNA, archaeology, and historical context. High-resolution maps, haplogroup analyses, and population comparisons reveal how your genetic heritage may intersect with Celtic warriors, artisans, traders, and ritual specialists across Europe.

This test is more than a regional snapshot—it is a reconstruction of the Celtic world as a whole. If you feel drawn to Celtic history, mythology, or identity, this compendium offers a rare opportunity to discover whether your own DNA carries echoes of the peoples who once dominated Iron Age Europe and shaped the foundations of the continent.

Why take this test

In the most information-rich era in human history, we’re still limited by one vast unknown—the lives and identities of our ancient ancestors. While our digital age connects us globally, our roots remain largely a mystery, concealed by time and sparse records. Ancient DNA Hub aims to bridge this gap with revolutionary ancient DNA tests, allowing you to trace your roots back to the ancient world in a way once unimaginable.

Before 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a distant dream. That changed when scientists sequenced the DNA of a Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago. This breakthrough unlocked the secrets of ancient genomes from people who lived between 15,000 BC and 1800 AD, spreading paleogenomic research across time and continents. Now, a new generation of DNA testing no longer relies on modern populations as stand-ins for ancient tribes. Instead, it goes right to the source, using the DNA of the ancients themselves.

Ancient DNA Hub’s Tests are the first of their kind, crafted solely from the DNA of ancient peoples through our pioneering technology. With our tests, you will receive a uniquely detailed ancient ancestry report, pinpointing specific regions and tribal connections more accurately than ever. Imagine discovering lands, tribes, and empires where your ancestors lived, fought, created, and dreamed millennia ago. By merging genetic data with the knowledge of history and archaeology, Ancient DNA Hub brings the past to life—helping you connect to your heritage on the most personal level.
