This episode of Silk Road Empires takes you deep into the Sogdian caravanserai network—the inns that made long-distance trade possible across Central Asia. Lucas and Luna explore how the Sogdians built and operated these waystations, from the mud-brick ribats of the Zeravshan Valley to the fortified sarays of the Tian Shan passes. They discuss the caravanserai's role as a hub for commerce, culture, and diplomacy, touching on the famous Rabat-i Malik in Uzbekistan, the Sogdian innkeepers who doubled as spies, and the network's decline under the Mongols. Specifics include the caravanserai's architecture—central courtyard, animal stables, sleeping quarters—and the services offered: food, water, fodder, camels, and even banking. The episode also highlights the Sogdian word for caravanserai, 'karvansara', and its legacy in modern languages, and ties the topic to earlier episodes on Sogdian merchants and the Silk Road economy. #Sogdian #Caravanserai #SilkRoad #CentralAsia #TianShan #Zeravshan #Rabat-iMalik #Uzbekistan #History #FexingoHistory #Trade #Travel #Architecture #Merchants #Sogdiana #Bukhara #Samarkand #Karvansara Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
