Trade between nations and continents is now commonplace, and this exchange of goods is inevitably accompanied by the exchange of ideas and cultures. This is not, as you might expect, a new phenomenon. A series of trade routes which were first established almost two thousand years ago provided one of the first examples of intercontinental trade. Although these overland routes between Europe and Asia were not generally given a name during the period when they were in use, a nineteenth German writer and traveler, Ferdinand von Richthofen, used the name by which they have become famous; he called them the Seidenstrasse (the Silk Road). Of course, it wasn't just silk that was traded on these routes-many other commodities traveled in both directions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than one thousand years, the Silk Road (or rather roads; there were actually several routes) provided the main trading link between east and west, which also enabled an exchange of philosophy, art, culture, and religion. It wasn't until new maritime trade routes were established in the fifteenth century that the Silk Road finally began to decline in importance. It is difficult to overestimate the impact the Silk Road had on the development of civilization in both Europe and Asia. Without this trade route, the civilization of both continents would almost certainly have developed very differently. This is the story of the Silk Road. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscover a plethora of topics such as\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Han Dynasty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The War of the Heavenly Horses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Silk Trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Route for New Ideas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Marco Polo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Decline of the Silk Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e And much more \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo if you want a concise and informative book on the Silk Road, simply scroll up and click the \"Buy now\" button for instant access \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47415311532210,"sku":"9798601534574","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/d1bf4752ec7306a59bf6de0a68f12156.webp?v=1778376799","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/silk-road-a-history-from-beginning-to-end-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
