The Silk Road

The Silk Road

The Silk Road was an old system of exchange courses, formally settled amid the Han Line of China, which connected the locales of the antiquated world in trade between 130 BCE-1453 CE. As the Silk Road was not a solitary avenue from east to west, the term 'Silk Courses' has turned out to be progressively supported by students of history, however, 'Silk Road' is the more typical and perceived
name.    


 

The European adventurer Marco Polo (1254-1324 CE) went on these courses and depicted them top to bottom in his acclaimed work however he isn't credited with naming them. The two terms for this system of streets were instituted by the German geographer and explorer, Ferdinand von Richthofen, in 1877 CE, who assigned them 'Seidenstrasse' (silk road) or 'Seidenstrassen' (silk courses). Polo, and later von Richthofen, go on about the products which were transported forward and backwards on the Silk Road
