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.

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
