Introduction to the Silk route

The Silk Route is a historic trade route that connected the East and West, spanning over 6,000 miles and linking China to the Mediterranean. The route was named after the lucrative trade in silk that passed along it, but it also facilitated the exchange of many other goods, technologies, and ideas.

History of the Silk road

The Silk road was a network of trade routes that connected the East and West for over 1,500 years. It began during the Han Dynasty in China (206 BCE - 220 CE) and continued through the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE) and the Mongol Empire (1206-1368 CE).
The Silk road was not just a route for silk, but also for other goods such as spices, tea, and precious metals. It played a significant role in the development of civilizations and trade between Asia, Europe, and Africa.
