About the test
Are you ready to delve into the enigmatic world of the Hurrians, the ancient people who shaped the history of the Near East? Embark on a journey that bridges millennia and reveals the connections between your ancestry and the storied past of the Hurrians—those mysterious figures whose influence reached the heart of biblical narratives.
Who were the Hurrians?
Known for their profound impact on ancient Mesopotamia, the Hurrians were a significant cultural and political force in the Bronze Age. Their presence extended across northern Mesopotamia, northeastern Syria, and southeastern Turkey, where they left an indelible mark on the region’s history and culture. Haran, the ancient city mentioned in the Bible, was a crucial hub during this period, and the Hurrians played a part in its complex history.
How is Abraham connected to the Hurrians?
According to the Bible, Abraham's journey began in Ur of the Chaldeans, but it was in Haran where his story took a pivotal turn. Haran was not just a stopping point; it was a place of great cultural and political significance. As Abraham and his family settled in Haran, they found themselves amidst a rich tapestry of ancient influences, including those of the Hurrians, who were prominent in the region. Scholars believe that Ur was introduced into the story to assign Abraham a more prestigious Sumerian lineage. However, the evidence is more consistent with a Hurrian origin.

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.
