guy Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 New LiDAR research in Uzbekistan suggest that the Silk Road was surrounded by a sprawling urban development. The Silk Road derived its name from the lucrative silk trade, primarily produced in China. The Silk Road existed approximately from 114 BCE to AD 1450. https://search.app/kEbUMmfHDNtNigEs6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldrail Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 There's been a lot of investigation and debate regarding the legacy of the Alexandrine Empire. Apparently there was a major river system extending back from the Black Sea toward the Himalayas, only remnants of it still exist, once a major trade route and ruined settlements follow the ancient course. I don't know too much about this, I've only seen television documentaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
