How does a regular guy of European ancestry rate a 72 on Assyrian emperors? I have traced my English ancestry to Spain who married an Armenian princess. From here my ancestry goes to Persia, Greece, India, and the entire line of Assyrian rulers back to 1700 BCE. Sir Walter Blount married the daughter of the mayor of Toledo in the 14th century. If you hit upon that your direct ancestors include Cyrus the Great, Ashaoka, Xerxes, and a half dozen of Alexander's generals. Cleopatra is my 66th great-aunt.

The results were fairly consistent with my expectations but there were a few surprises that made me interested in further exploration. Considering that this was a free offer I would give it an outstanding rating.

There are many tools available today for those researching their origins. As the science matures, I find it very enlightening to discover ALL of the places my DNA is associated with. Let me say, it doesn't agree with the written and western History books nor the narratives embraced by present day society. I welcome the truths and remain encouraged as the inevitable understanding and undeniable facts begin to surface.

Written in other reviews, I have a small percentage of Jewish in reports for modern-day DNA reports. In Ancient Origins' report for the ancient Israeli tribe of Levi, I have several archaic matches. For a Semitic test in Ancient Origins, the report lists 2.2% for ancient Israelis. Since the ancient Israelis were descendants of Jacob (12 tribes, which I have archaic matches for Levi as previously stated), I was interested in this test.

The result was less than one percent. Thanks for the test.

Since I have DNA for ancient semitic peoples and archaic DNA matches (another DNA company) for Upper Galilee, I wondered if I also had archaic DNA matches for the region of Magdala (Migdol). Therefore, I was interested in this test.

My test result was less than one percent. Thanks for the test.

I did three ancestry tests: My Ancient Gene Pools (MAGP), Israel Tribes: Levi and Judah. However from the first look I see discrepancies when I compare MAGP test results with that of Israel Tribes. I can see a major difference in percentages for "Canaan and Anatolia" for example. In MAGP the percentage is (32%) while the percentage shown in my Israel Tribes tests is (3.7%). I believe some further explanation is necessary to better makes sense of the results. By doing further analysis, it seems like "Canaan and Anatolia" gene pool is broken down to two categories in the Israel Tribes test: "Canaan and Anatolia"+ "Israelites" which for me it means {3.7+28.3%=32%}.

And when it comes to "Albion and Alba" gene pool that is probably broken down to: "Early Bronze Age Albion and Alba' + Bronze Age Albion and Alba" + "Atlantic-Celtic Middle-Late" which my results show {3.1%+3.8%+4.6%=11.5%}.

And apparently the "Eurasian Hunter-Gatherers" gene pool is comprised of "Yamnaya" and "European Bell Beakers" shown in my Israel Tribes report: {23.7+7.9%=31.6%}

My Ancient Gene Pools basic test is a great test, I've tried similar tests from other company's but I haven't been given the same amount of Gene pools as I was given with this test. I didn't expect to get this from a free test, there's no catch you get your results and all the info that goes with the Gene pools you match. You are also given suggestions on what tests to take if you want to look further into your Gene pools.

My results for Kent, Prehistory to the Dark Ages basic test were somewhat unexpected I did know I had some ancestry from the area but I didn't expect it to be from so far back in time. It's defiantly worth taking even if you don't know of any ancestry from the area you might be surprised. Lately I've started getting ancient Kent and Canterbury dna matches in my results on another site I use, so it's defiantly an accurate test.

The Makurian Kingdom of King Zacharias III basic test is well worth taking, the results given are very generous. The info that accompanied my closet genetic match Leontios was detailed and interesting, like all the other tests I've taken from Ancient Origins it's gone beyond my expectations.

FAQ

  • Q: What do Ancient DNA Origins offer?

    A: Ancient DNA Origins offers the first and only genetic tests that employ ancient DNA from real ancient people, ranging from the Paleolithic to the mid-19th century. Our tests report your genetic relationships with ancient individuals and cultures from all over the world, like Paleolithic Americans, Icelandic Vikings, or the legendary Tribes of the Biblical Israelites (before their exile).

  • Q: How is Ancient DNA Origins different from other DNA testing providers?

    A: Providers will typically compare your DNA to the DNA of modern people, such as yourself. They cannot teach you about the ancient past. We provide a comprehensive collection of cultures and report your genetic identity at the level of ancient individuals. We also provide genetic, historical, and archeological information about ancient people and cultures at low-cost prices.

  • Q: I am a genealogist. How can I use Ancient DNA Origins for genetic genealogy?

    A: With our tests, you will go far beyond the inventions of photography and paper and discover new connections with ancient people that, thus far, existed only in stories and legends.

  • Q: How accurate are your tests?

    A: Our tests are developed in collaboration with top geneticists like Dr. Eran Elhaik, who has been developing genetic tests for two decades during his tenure at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Elhaik designed the GenoChip 2.0 kit and test for National Geographic, the GPS Origins kit and test for HomeDNA, and a plethora of tests for Gene Plaza. His Ancient DNA Origins test series is the first to combine paleogenetics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to achieve an accuracy of 95%.
