About the test
Do you carry a family tradition pointing to Judaean origins? Have you ever wondered whether your lineage is woven into one of humanity’s oldest and most influential stories? This compendium invites you to explore the people who lived in the age of Adam, knew of Nimrod, and witnessed the world-changing events remembered as the Flood. It is a journey into deep prehistory, belief, memory, and identity—where myth, history, and genetics intersect.
This compendium test unites three foundational tribal reconstructions—Judah, Levi, and Benjamin—whose members formed the core population of the Kingdom of Judah. Together, these tribes shaped the religious, political, and cultural legacy that would echo across the ancient Near East and far beyond.
What tests are included in this compendium?
This series combines three tribal reconstructions of the Kingdom of Judah, each representing a distinct ancestral lineage. These tests allow you to compare your DNA with that of ancient individuals who lived across the southern Levant during formative periods of human and biblical history, spanning deep prehistory through the emergence of early Israelite society.
-
Judah Tribe (8050–3050 BC)
Explore the genetic legacy of the Judahites—a tribe traditionally associated with leadership, continuity, and the heartland of Jerusalem, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Lachish. This reconstruction captures the deep prehistoric roots of the people who would later form the political and spiritual backbone of the Kingdom of Judah. -
Levi Tribe (1250–1170 BC)
Unlike other tribes, the Levites held no territorial homeland. This test compares your DNA with that of early Levites who emerged after the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt, tracing their origins through migration, priestly traditions, and admixture with Midianite religious elites. It offers a rare genetic perspective on one of the most enigmatic tribes of the ancient world. -
Benjamin Tribe (8075–2075 BC)
Discover the people of Benjamin, whose members occupied a crucial geographical and cultural crossroads between Judah and the northern regions. This test reveals the prehistoric foundations of a tribe known for resilience, warfare, and close ties to Jerusalem’s early history.
This compendium reconstructs the DNA of 46 ancient individuals from key sites, including Jerusalem, Jericho, Gibeon, Arad, Bethlehem, Hebron, and Lachish. Together, they represent people who lived between 8,050 and 2,075 BC, spanning the legendary eras associated with Hanoch and Noah and continuing through later historical encounters up to the Babylonian exile (586 BC).
You will receive a comprehensive ancestral profile integrating genetic data with historical, archaeological, and paleogenetic context. The test provides detailed haplogroup breakdowns, migration histories, and documented interactions with neighboring populations. Each ancient tribal member includes an individual profile that offers insight into daily life, belief systems, cultic practices, mysticism, social conduct, and historical deeds. This is not merely a DNA test—it is a reconstruction of an ancient world, and an invitation to rediscover your place within it.
Why take this test
This 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.
