Silk Road map | Major Silk Road trading routes

The Silk Road (Silk Route) is a network of trade and cultural transmission routes that were central to cultural interaction through regions of the Asian continent connecting the West and East by linking traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, soldiers, nomads, and urban dwellers from China and India to the Mediterranean Sea during various periods of time.

Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the civilizations of China, the Indian subcontinent, Persia, Europe, and Arabia, opening long-distance, political and economic interactions between the civilizations. Though silk was certainly the major trade item from China, many other goods were traded, and religions, syncretic philosophies, and various technologies, as well as diseases, also travelled along the Silk Routes. In addition to economic trade, the Silk Road served as a means of carrying out cultural trade among the civilizations along its network.
The main traders during antiquity were the Chinese, Persians, Greeks, Syrians, Romans, Armenians, Indians, and Bactrians, and from the 5th to the 8th century the Sogdians. During the coming of age of Islam, Arab traders became prominent.

These maps provide an overview of the Silk Road region, which stretched from China to the Mediterranean, though the lenses of the historical trade routes, belief systems, languages, climates and political borders.

  2. Don Valentine, partner of Sequoia Capital and vice president of Cisco, was the first to invest in Cisco. He took the opportunity to invest in this fledgling company, while other financial experts were very cautious. The way that Valentine can secure its initial investment of $ 2.5 million is to retain the right to run the business when he sees fit.

  10. Ngày 3/4, hậu vệ Vũ Văn Thanh đã trở về HAGL để tiếp tục tập hồi phục sau thời gian dài điều trị chấn thương bên Hàn Quốc. Hậu vệ gốc Hải Dương gặp chấn thương ở giai đoạn cuối V-League 2018 nên khiến anh lỡ hẹn cả AFF Cup 2018 và Asian Cup 2019 cùng ĐT Việt Nam. Khán giả đang rất nóng lòng chào đón sự trở lại của Văn Thanh. Hơn nữa, HAGL cũng đang cần một hậu vệ chất lượng như Thanh khi hàng thủ của họ liên tiếp mắc sai lâm ở vòng 2,3 để nhận thất bại trước TP HCM, Sài Gòn ngay trên sân nhà vừa qua...link jss77.net, thiên hạ bét lừa đảo, link vào thiên hạ bet, thiên hạ bet mobile
