Abstract

Travelled in ancient times and Middle Ages, and still in use in the 19th century, the Silk Road is surely one of the oldest in human history. The Silk Road concept refers to the terrestrial and the maritime routes connecting Asia and Europe. Collectively, these routes are known as the “Silk Roads” because highquality silk from China was one of the principal commodities exchanged over the roads. The Maritime Silk Route, which is also referred to as the Maritime Silk Road, was “the first official international sea-trading route in Chinese history.” The cargo on the Silk Road also included many other goods like ceramics, glass, precious metals and spices, etc. However, traders from across the world also transported languages, technologies, artistic styles, religious beliefs, customs and people which enabled “transcivilizational” exchanges
