What's included in Ancient DNA Hub?
- This Ancient DNA Hub DNA test collection provides powerful, innovative, and interactive DNA-based tools to help you uncover your ancient ancestors, trace deep steppe lineages, and explore the peoples who shaped the lands of present-day Ukraine—one of the most important crossroads of Eurasian history.
- Discover how your DNA may connect you to the legendary peoples of the Pontic–Caspian frontier, including: Scythian and Amazon cultures: Ukraine Scythians (656 BC – 226 BC), The Kingdoms of Gog and Magog (1525 BC – 226 BC), Cimmerians: Scythians and Amazons (1186 BC – 296 BC), and Vikings of Ukraine (1050 AD – 1250 AD) reconstructed from archaeological sites across Ukraine and the wider steppe.
- Receive a detailed breakdown of your ancient geographical origins, with high-resolution ancestry maps showing where your steppe, nomadic, and river-based ancestors lived, migrated, and ruled.
- Explore your exact genetic similarity to each reconstructed individual—from Scythian horse-warrior elites and Cimmerian raiders to Viking river-lords who controlled the great trade routes between Scandinavia and Byzantium.
- Compare your results with over 50 ancient and modern populations worldwide to understand how Ukraine’s unique position between Europe and Asia shaped its genetic legacy.
- After thousands of years, you can reconnect with the warrior cultures, prophetic kingdoms, and Viking-age founders who forged the identity of the Ukrainian steppe.
- Be part of a pioneering effort to reconstruct the ancient peoples of Ukraine using cutting-edge ancient DNA science.
- Meet the peoples of the steppe frontier—where myth, prophecy, and history converge, and where your story may begin.
- Basic test includes 11 ancient individuals.
- Advanced test includes 47 ancient individuals.
About the test
People of Ukraine — From Scythian Amazons to Viking River Kings
The lands of Ukraine lie at the very heart of Eurasian history. For millennia, this vast steppe and river network served as a gateway between East and West—shaped by horse-riding nomads, prophetic kingdoms, warrior women, and Viking adventurers who transformed trade, warfare, and power across continents.
This compendium is not confined to a single culture or era. It is a sweeping genetic chronicle spanning more than 3,000 years of migrations, conflicts, myths, and empires that rose along the Black Sea and the great river highways of Eastern Europe.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This exclusive collection merges four distinct ancient DNA reconstructions, each capturing a defining chapter in the deep history of Ukraine:
You will receive a deeply immersive ancestral profile integrating ancient DNA, archaeology, and history. Interactive maps, haplogroup insights, and population comparisons reveal how your DNA may connect to Scythian horse-warriors, Amazonian elites, prophetic steppe kingdoms, and Viking river-kings.
This is one of the most dynamic and interdisciplinary compendium tests ever created—available exclusively through Ancient DNA Hub. If you feel drawn to the mystique of the steppe, the legends of Amazons, or the rise of Viking-age Ukraine, this test allows you to discover whether your DNA carries echoes of the peoples who forged the crossroads of Europe and Asia.

What tests are included in this compendium?
This exclusive collection merges four distinct ancient DNA reconstructions, each capturing a defining chapter in the deep history of Ukraine:
-
Scythian and Amazon Cultures: Ukraine Scythians (656 – 226 BC)
Enter the world of the legendary Scythians—elite steppe warriors whose society may have inspired the Greek myths of Amazons. These horse-archers dominated the Pontic steppe, leaving behind a genetic legacy of mobility, power, and resilience. -
The Kingdoms of Gog and Magog (1525 – 226 BC)
Explore the DNA of ancient prophetic kingdoms associated with biblical and classical traditions. These populations occupied the volatile frontier between myth, scripture, and steppe empires, influencing the cultural imagination of Eurasia for centuries. -
Cimmerians: Scythians and Amazons (1186 – 296 BC)
Trace ancestry to the Cimmerians—early nomadic raiders and rivals of the Scythians—whose movements reshaped the political landscape of the Black Sea region and helped define steppe warfare. -
Vikings of Ukraine (1050 – 1250 AD)
Follow the genetic trail of Norse adventurers who traveled south along the Dnieper and other rivers, founding trade networks and early states that connected Scandinavia, Kyiv, and Byzantium.

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.
