About the test
People of Syria — From the Patriarchs to the Caliphates
Syria stands at the very heart of human civilization. Long before empires rose and fell, these lands witnessed the birth of Semitic identity, biblical patriarchs, early kingdoms, and world-shaping Islamic dynasties. This compendium traces more than 4,000 years of continuous history across one of the most influential cultural crossroads on Earth.
From the ancestral world of Jacob’s forefathers, through the great Canaanite city-states of Ebla, to the powerful caliphates that reshaped the medieval Near East, this test reconstructs the genetic legacy of the people who defined Syria’s destiny.
This is not mythology. This is history, archaeology, and ancient DNA combined into a single, unprecedented exploration of lineage and identity.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This collection unites three exclusive ancient DNA reconstructions, each representing a defining chapter in Syrian history:
You will receive a deeply immersive ancestral report combining ancient DNA analysis, archaeology, and historical context. High-resolution maps, population comparisons, and genetic affinity scores reveal how your DNA may connect to Aramean ancestors, Canaanite kings, and medieval Syrian rulers.
This compendium is available exclusively at Ancient DNA Hub. It offers a rare opportunity to explore the genetic roots of the biblical world and the Islamic Near East—where history, faith, and empire first converged. If Syria’s ancient legacy speaks to you, this test allows you to discover whether its story is also yours.

This collection unites three exclusive ancient DNA reconstructions, each representing a defining chapter in Syrian history:
-
Arameans: Jacob’s Forefathers (2600 – 2309 BC)
Step into the world of the early Arameans—Semitic pastoralists and city builders who shaped the cultural and linguistic foundations of the biblical Near East. These are the people associated with the ancestral world of the patriarchs. -
Canaanites: The Semitic Eblaite Kingdom (2600 – 1850 BC)
Discover the DNA of one of the earliest recorded civilizations in history. Ebla was a center of diplomacy, trade, writing, and royal power, leaving behind archives that illuminate the dawn of organized Semitic states. -
Syria Caliphates: From the Umayyads to the Mamluks (715 – 1222 AD)
Trace ancestry to the Islamic dynasties that ruled Syria during its golden age as a center of learning, governance, and global trade—connecting Europe, Africa, and Asia through Damascus and beyond.
You will receive a deeply immersive ancestral report combining ancient DNA analysis, archaeology, and historical context. High-resolution maps, population comparisons, and genetic affinity scores reveal how your DNA may connect to Aramean ancestors, Canaanite kings, and medieval Syrian rulers.

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.
