Silk Road


Nothing was more interesting to my than how dependent nomads were on settle regions and how dependent settle regions were on nomads, showing that one group really couldn’t have the same benefits in life without one another. Without nomads the Silk Road wouldn’t have been half as prosperous. The Silk Road stretched from Chine to the Mediterranean Sea, crossing thousands of miles and through completely different cultures. The ideas, culture, crops, and religion from Southeast Asia were able to reach and touch the lives of people living on the boarder of the Mediterranean Sea. The deep connection from the Silk Road to the lives of all the people involved is looking at the correlation between the rise and fall of major empires effected the Silk Road, showing that the trade route had a deeper impact on the world during the time then just being a source of trade from country to country. The Silk Road brought sailing advances (ocean trading), different spices, crops, art, and different metals to country all across the world showing how every country was now connected with each other in some sort of way even if the countries were completely different.
