About the test
Are you ready to explore the dynamic world of the Neo-Assyrians, the people who established one of the greatest empires in the ancient Near East? Embark on a journey that spans centuries and reveals the connections between your ancestry and the rich legacy of the Assyrians—formidable warriors and visionary statesmen whose influence shaped the cultural and political landscape of their time.
Who were the Neo-Assyrians?
Known for their military innovation and administrative sophistication, the Neo-Assyrians were a significant cultural and political force from approximately 911 to 609 BC. During this period, they expanded their empire across the Near East, implementing advanced governance systems and complex legal codes. Their strategic location allowed for interactions with diverse cultures, leaving a profound impact on the history and culture of Mesopotamia.
What were their main achievements?
The Assyrian military became renowned for its organization and effectiveness during this era. They developed a professional standing army, which facilitated successful military campaigns and the expansion of their territories. Advanced techniques in siege warfare allowed the Assyrians to conquer fortified cities, extending their influence into regions such as Israel, Judah, and beyond. This period also saw significant advancements in art, architecture, and literature, as exemplified by the construction of monumental palaces and the preservation of vast libraries.
How did Jonah save Assyria?
According to the Bible, Jonah saved Assyria by delivering God's message of impending judgment to the city of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Initially reluctant to fulfill his prophetic mission, Jonah eventually obeyed God's command and preached repentance to the people of Nineveh. Surprisingly, they heeded his warning, turned away from their wickedness, and repented, leading God to show them mercy and spare the city from destruction. Jonah’s story is unique as it is the only instance in the Bible where a prophet is sent to deliver a message outside the boundaries of Israel or Judea.

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.
