Who were the Middle Assyrians?
Known for their military prowess and administrative innovations, the Middle Assyrians were a significant cultural and political force between 1458 and 1283 BC. During this period, they expanded their territories, developed complex legal codes, and established a centralized government that would lay the groundwork for the later Neo-Assyrian Empire. Their strategic location and interactions with neighboring cultures left an indelible mark on the history and culture of Mesopotamia.
Who did they worship?
Aššur was the principal god of the Assyrians, revered as the divine embodiment of the Assyrian state and its military power.

Aššur was often depicted as a warrior god, symbolizing strength and protection, and he was associated with the concepts of kingship, victory in battle, and the establishment of order.

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 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.
