historical transport routes

Historical transport routes are pathways that travelers and traders used to move goods, people, and culture across regions and continents. These routes, such as the Silk Road, connected distant civilizations, facilitating not only commerce but also the exchange of ideas, technology, and customs. They often followed natural features like rivers, coastlines, and mountain passes, and evolved over time with advances in technology and infrastructure. Understanding these routes helps us see how historical societies interacted, expanded, and shaped the world we live in today.
