Explore a Majesty of The Great Silk Road
Written By Admin
The Great Silk Road – starts in China and goes all the way down to the Western Europe through the territories of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan) over the mountains of Pamir and Tyan Shan. It existed from the 2nd century B.C. till the 16th century A.D. with total length of seven thousand kilometers. The first item transited via this road was Chinese Silk, therefore this road was named as the Great Silk Road.
It is more than two thousand-year history with famous historical personalities like Marco Polo, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, and many more. They were all enchanted with the great promises of riches and fortune that the Great Silk Road had offered them. Scholars said this particular trading route first became the real thing that linked both ends together around 100 BC. Since then trading had flourished; but things finally changed during the 15th century when the world had finally discovered the sea routes well below Asia as a better and practical trading alternative.
