概要

For more than 1,500 years, a web of trade routes stretched from China to the Mediterranean, carrying silk, spices, horses and paper across deserts and mountains. It carried something even more powerful too: ideas. In this episode of Knowledge Central, we travel the Silk Road to see how it connected empires, spread religions and inventions, and helped build the world we live in today.

In this episode:

  • How the Silk Road began under China’s Han dynasty, and why it wasn’t really one road
  • The goods that moved along it, from silk and spices to paper, glass and gunpowder
  • Caravans, oasis cities, and the merchants who kept trade moving
  • How Buddhism, Islam, art and science spread along the routes
  • Marco Polo, the Mongol Empire, and the Silk Road’s golden age
  • The darker cargo: how the Black Death traveled west
  • Why the old routes faded, and how the Silk Road’s name lives on today
