The Silk Roads were a network of trade routes that connected Asia, Europe, and Africa, allowing goods, ideas, and cultures to flow across continents. Merchants carried silk, spices, and other valuable items from China to the Mediterranean and beyond, while ideas like Buddhism and technologies like papermaking traveled the other way. The routes thrived during the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Mongol Empire, linking diverse civilizations and shaping history in ways that can still be felt today.
