About the test
Are you ready to delve into the ancient world of the early Assyrians, the people who laid the foundations for one of the greatest empires in history? Embark on a journey that bridges millennia and reveals the connections between your ancestry and the storied past of the Assyrians—those early settlers whose influence began to shape the Near East long before their empire's rise.
Who were the Early Assyrians?
Known for their role in the early development of Mesopotamia, the Assyrians were a significant cultural and political force even in their early days. During the period from 2621 to 2338 BC, they began transforming the city of Assur from a small settlement into a burgeoning power in northern Mesopotamia. Their presence in this region left a lasting impact on the history and culture of the ancient world.
Who Built Assur according to the Bible?
According to the Bible, Nimrod is credited with building Assyria. In Genesis 10:8-12, it is stated that Nimrod, a mighty hunter and a significant figure in the post-Flood world, established a kingdom that included several prominent cities. The passage specifically mentions that from the land of Shinar, he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, along with other cities such as Rehoboth Ir, Calah, and Resen. Nimrod's actions symbolize the expansion of human civilization and the establishment of cities that defied divine authority.
How is Abraham connected to the Assyrians?
According to the Bible, Abraham's journey took him from Ur of the Chaldeans to Haran, where his story took a pivotal turn. Haran, located near the heart of ancient Assyria, was a place of great cultural and political significance. As Abraham and his family settled in Haran, they encountered the early Assyrians, whose developing culture would later influence the broader region. Scholars suggest that while Abraham’s story is often associated with Sumer, his connection to the Assyrians cannot be overlooked, as their early influence was profound in the area.

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.
