@@ItsMe-yv9jd. You are Absolutely Right. This exhibition is a propaganda of the department of propaganda of CCP. This propaganda silk road exhibition is to cover up China's Uyghur Genocide in Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur Nation in Central Asia. IN FACT in real world Since ancient times till Today there is no Chinese ethnic group, no Chinese race, no Chinese DNA, no Chinese spoken language, no Chinese written language, no Chinese civilization, no Chinese history, no China's Silk Road, no China's dynasties... In fact The Communist Soviet Union invented China on 1st October 1949. The department of propaganda of CCP has invented Fictional Chinese, Fictional Han-Chinese, fictional Hui-Chinese, fictional Chinese history, Fictional Chinese civilization, fictional China's Silk Road, fictional China's dynasties.... In fact The Yellow River civilization is Yellow Uyghur civilization. Silk Road has nothing to do with Fictional Chinese, Fictional Han-Chinese, fictional Hui-Chinese, fictional Chinese history, Fictional Chinese civilization, fictional China's dynasties.... Today in China has over Five Hundred Totally different ethnic groups, totally different nations, totally different languages.... China's Official languages are Mandarin language of Manchu-Eastern Turks, Uyghur people in Eastern Turkestan in Central Asia, Tibet, Mongol and Champa ( aka Zhuang). Mandarin language is the language of Manchu-Eastern Turks. Mandarin language is not Chinese language. There is no such thing CHINESE language. British Museum is a big part of the department of propaganda of CCP. Some very top leaders of the British museum are on China's payroll. They are China's propaganda agents. They are Masters of deception, disinformation, misinformation, .. They are trying to cover up China's Uyghur Genocide in Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur Nation in Central Asia. China's Uyghur Concentration mass murder camps in Eastern Turkestan of Uyghur Nation in Central Asia. China's Uyghur Organ Harvesting industry, China's Human Flesh Capsule making industry and China's war crimes against defenceless Uyghurs are covered up in the name of China's Silk Road exhibition... china's Tibetan Genocide is going on in Tibet on the roof of the world. China's Manchurian Genocide is going on in Manchuria...
India was the major part of it. But little mention. For its influence, there should have been at least one full section of it instead of talking so much about China
One of my dreams was for my daughter to work as a curator or restoration and preserver. The way it is able to show people clearly with architectural or art and artifacts how life can be so different is amazing.
I absolutely love these Curator's videos. The professionals who work closely with these objects give much better descriptions than a narrator reading a script, and their love and enthusiasm for the items in their care shine through. I'm not able to travel to the British Museum, but these videos offer me a chance to have an in-depth experience of the exhibit, guided by the curators themselves. I learned so much more about the Silk Road network in these 25 minutes than I have in hours of watching standard documentaries. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge with us!
India was at the center of it all. Most Roman coins are found in India outside Roman territory. Trade between Europe and China happened through India. But not even a full section for India
This was a fabulous video of the exhibition. The expert curators provided an engaging and insightful narrative and the exhibits were well filmed. Thank you.
I suggest a big round of aplause for the people who cleaned and polished the display cabinets absolutely christal clear ! - and delighted to sue- sutton hoo- brunning presenting once more ⚔ ⚔
Curators' Tour of Silk Roads exhibition at the British Museum 16.1.25 1920pm anyone think marco polo's tales were just based on b.s and merely details of hearsay he'd probably picked up round the fireside via tales of the weary traveller...?
I find the way you bring the different strands of objects, journeys and narratives into a coherent fabric quite compelling. Very much looking forward to visiting this exhibition.
I've seen the show, and the video has really helped to make sense of it, the geographical and temporal spread of objects is so wide it helps to have this context. Thanks
I visited this knowledgeable special exhibition on site five times and bought the book for reading and reference at home. Still, I find this video of Curators' Tour very interesting and a must-watch for all, including those who can and who cannot visit the exhibition personally. All in all, this exhibition, to me, is called "Silk Roads - An International Perspective". Well done, all staff of the British Museum, in particular, the team of curators and staff for making this exhibition possible. Thank you very much.
Since a broken leg has prevented me from seeing this in person, I was happy to catch a glimpse through this video. I appreciated the curators knowledge but would have enjoyed seeing more of the exhibits as I listened to their explanations. So much of the time the camera was focused on their faces instead of on the artifacts. I want to LISTEN to them but SEE the exhibit!
The video was very good. Much better than my actual visit which was severely marred by a number of elderly people standing in front of the exhibits reading from the guide books.
Poor you. I would have loved to have seen this even under those circumstances but for health reasons, I can’t fly or travel at the moment. I have been able to order the book that accompanies this exhibition.
The fact that someone in Asia could have goods manufactured in Africa and visa versa via the Silk Road is absolutely mind-boggling. Imagine how much bigger the world felt back then.
I am stunned! This is a great voyage through times and regions and tales and ideas...pointing out at about how amazing the historischen of cultures ist. Being a museum professional myself I may imagine the amount and quality of work the BM team and affiliates have delivered. Thank you for your great enthusiasm and work. It serves as a measure of how good museum work can be. Thanks a lot. J. Warnecke , Stuttgart
The antique bronze bowls I display are silk road relics. Based on ancient bowls from Persia and Khorasan, they spread to several silk road destinations in Asia. The metallurgical archaeologists at Oxford helped make the historic connections for The Singing Bowl Museum.
I enjoyed the exhibition, but I would have liked more details about where the places mentioned were on a map ( perhaps one were could carry with us?) and what they are called now. Central Asia is a huge area and as the old names were used it lost it a bit for me, even though I know a fair few places from Roman History. A very large area plus a long history can become confusing!
Curators' Tour of Silk Roads exhibition at the British Museum 1924am 16.1.25 i am not a Buddhist, have never exclaimed to be such... but one would surely prefer Buddhist overseers, as you wandered the silk road, as opposed to oppressors of alleged discordant thought and artistry, which a great many sects seem to be.... the free flow of thought and goods and art - ok, they make some sap a great deal of cash - but not all dissemination of such matter is undertaken for such a goal as wealth... i have found some enjoy the testy situations and the challenge that censorship brings... ie: not everything censored is entirely at fault...
This video was good, especially as I traveled to London September to see this exhibition. I had thought, what with fees and timed entries, I’d be able to view the exhibits well, but it was so overcrowded, what with crowds five deep everywhere it was near impossible to get a good view of any exhibits. I won’t go to the British Museum again, I will wait for the curator videos
You’ve raised an important point and I’d hope the British Museum would take note of this. I still have unpleasant memories of the 2021 Thomas Becket exhibition (when COVID was still a high risk) being so packed l actually rushed to get out. I’ve since been to exhibitions at what I’d hoped would be off peak times but no improvement. The V&A does a better job in ensuring there are maximum numbers for its timed entries.
@@tonywarcus5500 good comments Tony. In contrast, I also went to Courtaulds Gallery to see Monet In London, which was a charm, well presented, not crowded, I could stand for a while in front of each painting and enjoy it, such a contrast to the pack-em-in philosophy of the British Museum
Shout out to the Aboriginal people Milikapiti, Australia, who were perhaps a part of one of these silk roads from the 1700s when Makasar fishermen arrived to farm trepang which was hunted and exported to China.
This is a beautifully educational and inspirational video. At 7:11 - 7:19 is that Amitabha buddha with its two disciples: Avalokitesvara, and Mahasthamaprapta? I'm going to have to take a trip to come and see the exhibit as buddhist and silk road history are of paramount interest to me.
My gosh, I’ve got to get to the museum! Also, as concerns the Christian figure wearing a cross on headgear and chest: may be an early religious figure like a Pope or symbol worn on his Mitre. Jesus Christ was only depicted ON THE CROSS not wearing it as The Cross became a symbol after His cruxifixction. 🙏🏽
Curators' Tour of Silk Roads exhibition at the British Museum 1937pm 16.1.25 indeed, as much as they might get somewhat het up about this... the orient seems to have brought us the black death... they even pin-point it's origins in the west indies... depends which era you are discussing, though, as it (the black death) has hit the west over many hundreds of years petering out... then exploding in a, seeming, fit of pique... from boats to overland caravans.... plague sufferers used as ammunition, in some cases being flung over castle walls upon the invading enemy - to cause some undue distress... not a great era for the globe.
You should do a short segment on museum "rules"/ cultural expectations that are unwritten. Took some kids to an art museum and a nearsited volunteer yelled at me... Not the kids... which irritated me because i was trying ti get the kids interested in the paintings by pointing out small animal details. I read their rule 2 ft away from paintings my body was 4ish ft away and my hand was required 2 but he had super thick glasses and I had medium small kids so he yelled. Maybe it was lack of training in proffesionalism or maybe hes lived wo a gf for too long. After that it wasnt any fun anymore. I did notice none of the other visitors (people who looked like they visit museums everyotherday) all had arms tucked in not even down often with jacket under one arm near their chest not ever moving their hands from those positions. Rather wierd once you notice. There is no silence rule but everyone else was also whispering.
There is a £22 fee for weekday entrance. Special exhibits usually charge extra. Entrance into The British Museum’s permanent exhibitions is free. Google the BM and you’ll find out everything plus view the Silk Road’s history.
Yes, one needs to purchase tickets but children under 16 are free with an accompanying adult with a ticket. There are also time slots with reduced rates. Even though there are sponsored, putting an exhibit like this is enormously expensive. Many objects are borrowed and the cost of crating, transporting and insuring these objects on loan is almost prohibitively high and that’s just one cost.
Calling it the Silk Road is inaccurate and misleading since there is not a road and many things were traded. I think we should call it the Great Trade Route. This actually has merit. But changing the Gregorian Calendar from AD/BC to BCE/CE because someone has an issue with religion doesn't. If it bothers you, make your own Calendar.
They actually stress both in the exhibition and in a lecture I went to, that Silk Road was a late name, and that they use the term Roads to show there were many routes all over Europe and Asia. They also describe all the different items traded.
I am not going to watch this as I paid good money to see it. I go to a lot of exhibitions, whether art-related or, like this, exhibiting artefacts. This was one of the worst I have seen in my life. The layout was confused, so that, especially towards the end, you didn't know what section to view next (other than by employing one's own geographical knowledge). There was NOTHING on India (someone actually asked whether Buddhism had originated in Korea!) too much on China and the accompanying texts - in miniscule print - and, let's not forget, in dim light to conserve exhibits, was at waist height. So all you could see were the tops of other people's heads as they craned to read, shuffling through at a ludicrously slow pace. I became so irritated eventually that I rushed through it and abandoned trying to see most of the later artefacts. It's one of the worst gallery experiences I've ever had - and I might just as well have waited to watch this and save the train fare from Sussex and cost of the exhibition. Terrible - you should have done far better with this subject.
Do Museums in other countries hold the unique icons of Britain's history? Do you let Egyptian nationals in for free when they want to visit their kings bodies?
There's an absurd need to constantly alter the language in which a subject is discussed in modern academia in order to acquire a fraudulent air of sophistication and learning. The plural 'silk roads' is totally unnecessary and stupid. The common phrase in ordinary everyday use does not literally refer to a single route and never has, and scholars have got on perfectly well discussing the subject without this meaningless pluralisation.
?? Soooo creepy watching the eyes of these boring people READING... if these so called museum 'professionals' cannot be bothered to show up and have memorized their speech, then just use a voice narrator, and focus more video time on the objects on display!
While it doesn't 'worry me' I find it hard to see the point? How is it an improvement? I mean the christian era didn't really get going for another 400 odd years with the defining of the Nicene Creed? So if anything it's less accurate than AD, even with the four year monkish counting error? I'd love to know, so I better google it now. Sigh.
@@ChazzyB-2024 CE = Common Era AD = Anno Domini there is no difference in the counting of years or dates, simply two different terms. I have not the slightest clue what you think you are talking about but you seem awfully confused.
I only see Persian and Chinese objects. Unfortunately due to political environment of IRAN/Persian, I can see that this one sided document trying to emphasize on the role of China and dilute/ remove the role of Persia/Iran who 95% of these silk rode was located there by calling central Asia/ current name of them rather than historical location of them in Persia. Shame that how money can change history!!!!😊😪
@@eddiel7635 From Wikipedia to see who is confusing: "Sogdia or Sogdiana was an ancient Iranian civilization between the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya, and in present-day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan"
@@all-thingstv Dear All, Persian and Iranian are refers to the same group of people. Iranian always called themselves Iranian means Aryan men (Nobel men). But greek and Roman called them after Iranian capital, Parse, Persian. This is because they called themselves Roman means men from Rome. Therefore, they called Iranian as Persian means men from Parse. Hope this is clear. 🙂

What does CE mean ?
Common era. You can learn more by googling it
THE PLURAL MAKES IT LESS CLEAR !

The summary should mention immaterial aspect of the road, IMHO.
The little boy figurine shown in the first section seems to show that African peoples were also brought and possibly sold as rare slaves.
Where is ANATOLİA?
It’s also known as Asia Minor. Just think modern country of Turkey and you’ll be close enough.

?? Soooo creepy watching the eyes of these boring people READING... if these so called museum 'professionals' cannot be bothered to show up and have memorized their speech, then just use a voice narrator, and focus more video time on the objects on display!
Samarkand, it may located now a days in Uzbakistan but up to 150 years ago was part of Iran/Persia. Shame that you hide the true.
Please return the Buddha to Sweden where it belongs.
And why does it belong there?
I stopped watching as soon as she uttered “CE”.
I didn't even notice...now I can't "unnotice"it:-) I am so tired of this BS
While it doesn't 'worry me' I find it hard to see the point? How is it an improvement? I mean the christian era didn't really get going for another 400 odd years with the defining of the Nicene Creed? So if anything it's less accurate than AD, even with the four year monkish counting error? I'd love to know, so I better google it now. Sigh.
Hmm, I'm still not convinced. But hey, I do like those camels.
@@ChazzyB-2024 CE = Common Era AD = Anno Domini there is no difference in the counting of years or dates, simply two different terms. I have not the slightest clue what you think you are talking about but you seem awfully confused.
Well it was a silly reply to a slightly grumpy response, sorry I upset you. I was having a cup of tea. But seriously, those camels.
PAKISTAN at that time was part of Persia.
I only see Persian and Chinese objects. Unfortunately due to political environment of IRAN/Persian, I can see that this one sided document trying to emphasize on the role of China and dilute/ remove the role of Persia/Iran who 95% of these silk rode was located there by calling central Asia/ current name of them rather than historical location of them in Persia. Shame that how money can change history!!!!😊😪
Soghdian were/are Persian. Sasanid were Persian empires. What a shame that you try to change the history but not referring to Persia/Iran.🙂🥲
You’re confusing language with ethnicity. Sogdia was not Persian or Sassanid, it was Sogdian.
@@eddiel7635 From Wikipedia to see who is confusing: "Sogdia or Sogdiana was an ancient Iranian civilization between the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya, and in present-day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan"
@@eddiel7635 I am not confusing. Sogdian are one tribe of Iranian/Persian origin. Please read more instead of insisting on your mistake.
Sogdian are Iranian people closely related to the Persians
@@all-thingstv Dear All, Persian and Iranian are refers to the same group of people. Iranian always called themselves Iranian means Aryan men (Nobel men). But greek and Roman called them after Iranian capital, Parse, Persian. This is because they called themselves Roman means men from Rome. Therefore, they called Iranian as Persian means men from Parse. Hope this is clear. 🙂
