Silk routes

The Silk Routes were a network of ancient trade routes connecting East and West, primarily facilitating the exchange of silk from China, along with spices, precious stones, and other goods. Established around 2,000 years ago, they linked regions like China, the Middle East, and Europe, promoting not only trade but also cultural, scientific, and technological exchanges. These routes included overland paths and maritime routes, playing a crucial role in the development of civilizations and the spread of ideas, religions, and innovations. The Silk Routes were instrumental in shaping global history and commerce.
