Abstract Imagine a journey through some of the world's highest mountains surrounded by hostile deserts and treacherous terrain. Caravans heading towards China carry gold, ivory, glass, and precious metals and stones. Other caravans leave China, filled with such treasures as silks, ceramics, jade and objects made of bronze. The world's oldest and most historically important trade route, the Silk Road spanned 7,000 miles from China, linking Central Asia, India, and Arabia with Rome. Connecting the East to the West, the Silk Road became significant not only for the trade of goods, but for the exchange of ideas, religious beliefs and art.
