The global village of the Silk Roads

“The network of Silk Roads included both land and maritime routes. The Northern Route traversed through Central Asia, the Southern Route passed through what is now Iran and India. Major cities along these routes included Xi’an in China, Samarkand in Uzbekistan, and Ctesiphon, near modern-day Baghdad. The Maritime routes linked ports in China to Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian Peninsula, and East Africa. This was the vastest network the world had ever seen.”
