About the test
Scythians and Amazons — Horse Lords, Warrior Women, and the Eurasian Steppe
Across the endless grasslands of Eurasia, a powerful and enigmatic culture emerged—one that terrified empires, inspired legends, and redefined warfare and gender roles in the ancient world. The Scythians were master horsemen, archers without equal, and rulers of vast steppe networks. Among them were women buried with weapons, immortalized by Greek writers as the Amazons. This compendium invites you to explore whether your DNA connects you to these legendary peoples of the steppe.
Spanning nearly a millennium and stretching from Ukraine to Hungary and Moldova, this test reconstructs the genetic legacy of nomadic societies whose influence reached from the Black Sea to Central Asia and beyond.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This collection merges three key ancient DNA reconstructions representing the heart of Scythian and Amazon culture in Europe:
You will receive a deeply immersive 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 mounted warriors, elite archers, and the women who fought beside them—figures who blurred the line between myth and history.
This is not just a test of ancestry—it is an invitation to step into legend. If you are drawn to the Amazons, the Scythians, or the untamed spirit of the Eurasian steppe, this compendium offers a rare opportunity to discover whether your DNA carries echoes of the horse lords and warrior women who once ruled the grasslands of the ancient world.

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.
