Spanning over 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles), it played a central role in facilitating economic, cultural, political, and religious interactions between the East and West. The name "Silk Road", first coined in the late 19th century, has fallen into disuse among some modern historians in favor of Silk Routes, on the grounds that it more accurately describes the intricate web of land and sea routes connecting East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, the Middle East, East Africa and Europe.

Imperial envoy Zhang Qian was commissioned to explore the unknown lands beyond the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
