About the test
Sarmatian Horse Lords — Masters of the Eurasian Steppe
For more than a thousand years, the Sarmatians ruled the open heart of Eurasia from horseback. They were not city builders or empire bureaucrats—they were nomadic aristocrats, elite warriors, and master riders whose power came from mobility, warfare, and control of the steppe corridors linking Asia and Europe. From Central Asia to the Caspian Sea, their influence reshaped populations, trade routes, and military traditions across the ancient world.
This compendium does not focus on a single moment in time. It reconstructs the full geographic and temporal arc of Sarmatian dominance, revealing how steppe power emerged, expanded, and endured across centuries of migration and conquest.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This collection merges two ancient DNA reconstructions that together capture the core realms of Sarmatian civilization—from their eastern strongholds to their western frontiers:
You will receive a deeply immersive ancestral profile integrating ancient DNA, archaeology, and steppe history. Detailed genetic comparisons, haplogroup analyses, and high-resolution maps reveal how your DNA may connect to the mounted elites who transformed warfare, mobility, and power across Eurasia.
This compendium offers a rare opportunity to explore the nomadic foundations of Eurasian history. If you feel drawn to the legend of horse warriors, the freedom of the steppe, or the ancestral roots of Eurasian power, this test allows you to discover whether your DNA carries echoes of the Sarmatian Horse Lords who once ruled the open plains.

-
Sarmatian Horse Lords: Kazakhstan (604 BC – 700 AD)
Enter the heartland of the Sarmatian world. These elite steppe warriors perfected mounted combat, controlled vast migration routes, and formed a nomadic aristocracy whose genetic legacy spread across Central Asia and beyond. -
Sarmatian Horse Lords: Caspian Sea (350 BC)
Explore the western frontier of Sarmatian power. Positioned along the Caspian corridors, these horse lords connected the steppe to Persia, the Caucasus, and the Classical world, shaping one of Eurasia’s most important cultural crossroads.

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.
