About the test

Are you ready to trace your roots back to one of the most influential peoples of the ancient Near East? Delve into the rich history of the Arameans, an ancient Semitic people who shaped the region's cultural and political landscape. Our exclusive genetic test offers a unique opportunity to connect with this remarkable heritage and explore its profound links to the biblical patriarch Jacob.

Who were the Arameans?
The Arameans were a prominent Semitic group who settled in what is now modern-day Syria, northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, and western Iran. Their influence spanned across these regions, with key cities such as Damascus, Aleppo, and Haran serving as major centers of Aramean culture and power. Known for their language, Aramaic, which later became widespread across the Near East, the Arameans left a lasting impact on the ancient world.

How is Jacob connected to the Arameans?
Jacob, a central figure in the Bible, was closely linked with the Arameans. His family’s migration to Haran, a region deeply associated with the Arameans, and his marriage to Rachel and Leah, the daughters of Laban the Aramean, underscore his connections to these influential people. The Bible even refers to Jacob’s ancestry with the phrase "wandering Aramean" (Deuteronomy 26:5), highlighting his Aramean heritage.

What does this Test Reveal?
Our genetic test provides a fascinating window into your ancestral connections with the Arameans. By analyzing your DNA, you can uncover genetic markers that trace back to the ancient Aramean people and explore how their legacy might have influenced your lineage. Discover how the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the Arameans intertwines with the biblical story of Jacob, offering insights into your ancient heritage.

How can you experience the Connection?
Immerse yourself in the ancient world of the Arameans and see how their history is woven into your family’s past. Our test will help you connect with the vibrant cultural heritage of the Arameans and understand the historical significance of Jacob’s Aramean roots. Embrace this unique opportunity to explore your ancestral lineage and uncover the hidden connections that have shaped your family’s story.

Join us on this extraordinary journey to reconnect with the Arameans and Jacob's legendary narrative. Experience the thrill of discovering your ancient roots and the adventure that awaits you with our exclusive genetic test.

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 Origins 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.
