About the test

Do you have a family tradition connected to your Semitic origins? Have you ever wanted to be part of a grand historical narrative? Do you wish to learn about the people who lived during the times of Abraham and Jacob? We have reconstructed the DNA of 16 ancient Near Eastern Semites from the Arameans of the Kingdom of Aram and the Hurrians of the Kingdom of Mitanni.

This test combines two of our existing tests available on our website: "Hurrians: Abraham's Forefathers" and "Arameans: Jacob's Forefathers." A common question is why Abraham and Jacob are associated with different ancestral populations. The answer lies in differing and sometimes conflicting biblical traditions. After careful consideration, we decided to present both tests according to these traditions, as we believe it is important to allow you to connect with the people behind these ancient stories, regardless of the biblical narratives.

The test provides a detailed historical, archaeological, and paleogenetic background on each of the ancient tribes, including their daily life, religious practices, mysticism, interactions with others, and notable deeds. A comprehensive profile is available for every ancient tribe member, offering deep insights into their world.

Why take this test

Up until 2010, reading the DNA of ancient people was a dream. Since then, the DNA of a Neanderthal who lived over 30,000 years ago has been sequenced. After that reading, the DNA of ancient people who lived from 15,000 BC to 1,800 AD all over the world became the main object of paleogenomic research. This leap forward in technology allowed the creation of a new type of DNA test — tests that do not use modern-day populations as stand-ins for the ancient tribes but rather go right to the source and study these ancient peoples themselves.

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.
