While empires rose and fell in Mesopotamia, a different kind of power was weaving through the deserts and mountains to the east. This episode explores the Sogdians, the ancient Iranian people who became the undisputed masters of the Silk Road trade networks connecting China to the Mediterranean. We look at Samarkand as their commercial hub, the development of their unique script for diplomacy, and how they acted as cultural intermediaries during the Tang Dynasty in China. Lucas and Luna examine the archaeological finds from Panjikent, the role of women in Sogdian business, and how these merchants survived the collapse of major empires by remaining neutral traders. We also touch on the Manichaean communities that adopted their language and the eventual decline of Sogdian influence after the Arab conquests shifted trade routes. Join us as we uncover the hidden network that made the world smaller long before modern globalization. #Sogdiana #Samarkand #SilkRoad #Panjikent #TangDynasty #AncientTrade #CentralAsia #IranianPeoples #SogdianScript #Manichaeism #MarquiseofDai #Nishapur #KushanEmpire #ByzantineEmpire #Afrosiab #Zoroastrianism #History #FexingoHistory #MiddleEast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
