The Silk Road
xxxxxxxxxxxx

The Silk Road is an ancient trade route rather than a physical road, made up in fact of many different roads that spanned continents.  It may not be one of the Ancient Wonders of the World because it is not a structure but it certainly is one of the ancient marvels of humanity.  Its inception was during the reign of the Han Dynasty as early as 200 BC and it linked Europe with the Mediterranean, the Arab World, India, Persia and China, among others.  It was given its name because of the popularity and value of the Silk made in China and traded throughout the world.  The name actually was coined by a 19th century German who made a number of expeditions along the very ancient routes.  Parts of the Silk Road have been made a World Heritage Site.  There are many glorious ruins from ancient civilisations along the trade routes that comprise the general 'Silk Road'.

With trade comes the exchange of ideas, philosophies and culture.  The Silk Road was responsible for many advances throughout the world.
