The Silk Road: Trade Route of the Ancient World
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- The Silk Road was a network of trading routes that connected a number of different regions in the ancient world, stretching over four thousand miles from China, through India and Asia Minor and through Mesopotamia and the African continent, all the way to Greece, Rome and Britain. These routes were formally established by the Han dynasty of China in 130 BCE and although it was a number of different trading routes, the name the Silk Road has always been favoured. Despite its name, not only silk travelled along these routes, but many other goods, too!

Did you hear about the crusader Zheng He ? He cruised already even to Africa before Columbus discovered America
I have
Great info, Thanks, by the way did you already know? That on a later stage to your story the tea and Horse caravan path was established which became connected with the Silk Road! From Kunnming, Lijiang up to Dunhuang and Urumqi from there further to Europe the first tea in the world was transported, I had visited the museum in Lijiang/ ShuHe suburb, incredible
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching :) Thanks for the infor on the tea and horse caravan, so interesting!
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia , I especially had traveled to Lijiang / Yunnan, highly recommended to you also must watch the show from around 500 indigenous people going on an open air stage
Amazing content! Loved it! You're so stylish Kelly!
Thank you so much!!
I love this channel and I love this English accent (I speak Spanish)
Justinian is in my humble opinion one of the greatest Byzantine rulers ever.
Silk increased the wealth of the Byzantine Empire (or the western roman empire if you prefer) to it's pinnacle.
But of course his vision of rebuilding the Roman empire to it's former glory was exorbitant in many ways, and of course he didn't have the man power to sustain it for long.
Thanks for the video!
You're very welcome!
Yes, but I´m sure you mean the Eastern Roman empire, don´t you?
Excellent video. Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
I would like to know the Nomads-Banjara labhan contrubution in silk trade etc

Fascinating connection closing the Silk Road and the European Age of Exploitation. Any current plans on reopening the Silk Road? 🤔
Not that we know of. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Is it’s all about silk or spices, cotton, perfumes etc. it looks like video is little biased.😊
great documentary
Kelly, You great genius and are brimful of information and presentation skills. Dr. Shahid Mehmoud PhD,Social Scientist.
Columbus was finding the road to "India" hence the name "Red Indians" was given to the natives of America which Columbus mistook for India.
I always thought it was so interesting how close the Fall of Constantinople was to Columbus' arrival in the new world. It was like the book of Rome had met it's end and immediately after the book of the Americas on the world stage was opened. That's a cool bit of insight that they were in fact connected, and the closing of the Silk Road was the missing piece. Thanks for that knowledge!
The Silk Roads is a very good and informative book on all sorts of products that were traded, and the impacts from those products on a global scale. Highly recommend that book!
Where did the term “ The Silk Road” originate?
Where was “the Silk Road “ originate😽
Pretty good shit you could find on there. RIP Silk Road
More Visual aids are needed, in the teaching of these complex subjects.
Once upon a time human used to walk thousand kilometers taking months or maybe years but these days we need a vehicle reach a nearest grocery stores.
We rarely walk.
