Southern Native Americans: Kingdoms, Cults, and Civilizations – Complete Ancestral Compendium

Have you ever felt a deep connection to the stories, symbols, and traditions of Native South America? Have you wondered whether your ancestry reaches back to the first peoples who crossed vast landscapes, settled high mountain plateaus, cultivated fertile valleys, and built some of the most powerful civilizations the Americas have ever known? This compendium invites you to step into a saga that spans more than eight millennia—from the earliest Paleoindian pioneers to the rise and fall of empires that still shape South American identity today.

These ancestors were not merely inhabitants of the land. They were master agriculturalists who reshaped landscapes, artisans who crafted objects of ritual and beauty, engineers who built cities in deserts and mountains, and visionaries who expressed cosmology through gods, glyphs, and monumental architecture. Their legacy lives on in myths, traditions, and—now—your DNA.

What tests are included in this compendium?
This compendium brings together a carefully curated set of South American genomic reconstructions, each representing a distinct culture, belief system, and historical era. Together, they reveal how southern Native American societies emerged, interacted, expanded, and transformed across time.

• Moche: Peruvian Artisans (378–700 AD)
  Explore the genetic legacy of the Moche—renowned metalworkers, ceramic artists, and ritual specialists of Peru’s northern coast. This test reveals a society defined by craftsmanship, ceremonial power, and complex social hierarchy.


• Wari: Peruvian Highlanders (900–1185 AD)
  Discover the people behind one of the Andes’ first true imperial systems. The Wari built roads, administrative centers, and networks that prefigured later empires, leaving a lasting genetic and cultural footprint across the highlands.


• Tiwanaku: Staff God Worshippers (825–1050 AD)
  Step into the ritual heart of the Andean altiplano. Tiwanaku society was shaped by cosmology, monumental stone architecture, and devotion to the Staff God—a civilization whose influence radiated far beyond Lake Titicaca.


• Inca Empire (290–1562 AD)
  Connect to the builders of the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. This test traces the genetic legacy of Inca populations who unified vast territories through engineering, governance, and a powerful state ideology.


• Chimú, Nazca, and Other Andean Cultures
  Explore the people who worshipped lunar deities, carved vast geoglyphs into desert plains, and expressed belief through art, sacrifice, and myth. These cultures reveal the diversity and creativity of pre-Inca South America.


• Nazca: Glyphs of the Gods (825–1410 AD)
  Uncover the genetic story of the Nazca—creators of immense desert glyphs whose meanings still captivate the modern world. This test explores belief, ritual movement, and landscape symbolism encoded in DNA.


• Fuego-Patagonians: Extinct Paleoindian Peoples (5069 BC–1850 AD)
  Meet the southernmost peoples of the Americas—hunter-gatherers who survived extreme climates at the edge of the world. Their deep ancestry represents resilience, adaptation, and isolation across thousands of years.


• Paleoindians of the Pampas and Patagonia (6624 BC–320 AD)
  Trace your lineage to some of the earliest settlers of southern South America, whose migrations, tools, and survival strategies shaped the continent’s earliest population structure.


• Brazil: Children of the Shell Mounds (1582 BC–1869 AD)
  Discover coastal societies who built massive shell mounds and lived in close relationship with marine environments, reflecting long-term continuity and complex social organization in eastern South America.

What will you receive?
We reconstructed the DNA of 203 ancient individuals from sites across Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, and beyond, spanning 7,584 BC to 1562 AD. You will receive a comprehensive ancestral profile integrating genetic data with historical, archaeological, and paleogenetic context. The compendium includes haplogroup analyses, migration histories, and reconstructions of daily life, belief systems, cultic practices, mysticism, social interactions, and recorded deeds. A detailed individual profile is available for every ancient person included.

Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey of discovery. This is more than a DNA test—it is an invitation to uncover how your own genetic story may intersect with the great civilizations, forgotten tribes, and enduring legends of southern Native America. Do not let the stories of your ancestors remain silent. Take the first step into a past that is vast, powerful, and profoundly human.
