The Ancestor Chain

The Ancestor Chain explores the often desperate circumstances of our direct line relatives living hundreds and even thousands of years ago. They carried forward, through subsequent generations, common DNA Haplogroups that you probably posses in your genes today. Your ancestors traveled across the Fertile Crescent, founded one of the first towns, Jericho, escaped The Great Flood, and participated in the rise and later the fall of the Roman Empire. They confronted the daily challenge of life in their times. Some were adventurers, or soldiers, or Vikings or Crusaders. Many won only the test of survival. But if each had not succeeded, you might not be here today. These narratives then, are about our common ancestors of long ago. The Ancestor Chain goes deeply into the times of their lives, far deeper than any genealogical study can trace your family roots. Each of these tales is accurate to the living conditions in its era. Locations, historical events and maps are genuine. Names of notable people are true to historical records. Myths of each period correspond to the thinking of that point in time. Archeology represented is based on current studies. Follow these adventures as they describe the possible activities of your ancestors, each striving to endure in their personal segment of history. Your forbearers actually lived such tumultuous times. Their survival brought you to life.
