Silk road

The Silk Road was a network of trade routes that extended from China to the West, linking East and West Eurasia. It emerged in antiquity and flourished from the 2nd century BCE to the 14th century CE, serving as the primary channel of trade between China and the West, as well as a conduit for the exchange of ideas, technologies, and cultural influences. Named after the main commodity it transported, silk, the Silk Road also carried spices, precious metals, gemstones, textiles, as well as ideas and religions.
