About the test
Have you ever wondered if your ancestors walked the hills of Hebron, tended flocks near Bethlehem, or built homes in the fortified city of Lachish?
This test is for those who feel a personal, historical, or spiritual connection to one of the oldest and most storied tribes in human history — the Tribe of Judah.
According to the Book of Joshua, the Tribe of Judah was assigned a large territory south of Jerusalem — the heartland of early Israelite identity.
Drawing on this region, we reconstructed the DNA of sixteen individuals from the ancient cities of Arad, Bethlehem, Hebron, and Lachish.
These individuals lived between 8,050 and 3,050 BC, a span of time traditionally associated with the early biblical figures — from Adam to Hanoch (Enoch) and Noah.
This test offers:
- A detailed genetic and historical portrait of the early Judaeans during the prehistoric and proto-biblical periods
- Analysis of haplogroups, population affinities, and encounters with other ancient peoples
- Rich archaeological, historical, and paleogenetic insights into their way of life — including cultic practices, family traditions, and daily life
- Individual DNA-based profiles for each of the sixteen people studied
Whether your family speaks of ancient Judaean ancestry or you’re simply drawn to their legacy, this test opens a window into a world long lost — and perhaps, long remembered.
Why take this test
The Ancient DNA Hub DNA test is the first next-generation DNA test. It is designed solely using the DNA of ancient people throughout history using our novel technologies.
With this test, you will receive a precise ancient ethnicity estimate with far greater geographical details than you could imagine. You will make new connections with historical people and places where your ancestors lived, walked, battled, created, and dreamed thousands of years ago. Using the genetic data and evidence from history and archeology, we can revive the past and allow you to take part in this story at the most personal level.
