Goggled silk road, and got bugger all, off to check my Atlases, not too sure how ill go but now i'm interested
last time i checked the silk road didn't travel through india but dont lay money on it
I found something on Wikipedia if that helps anyone
There's an article at http://www.ess.uci.edu/~oliver/silk.html if you're interested, but on eof the things it says early on is that it is not a single route. And there are no pictures! Need picture.
Can I attach photos?
In Turkey I visited a place, much like a mini-fort, where travellers / caravans on the silk road would stay. I could see that all the people, goods and animals were put in the middle and the walls could be defended by whatever militia was part of the group.
