The Silk Route (Road)

Silk Road (Gray)

• Many people needed to have lots of money if the
  goods came from China because it traveled a long
  distance.
• The silk road streched from China to the Med. Sea
  (and then could go all over Europe from there by
  ship)
• A major rest stop and trading center was the
  cities of Kasgar and Baghdad
• Things that were traded included glass, silk and
  spices
• The farther the good traveled from home, the
  more expensive it became along the silk road
• Travelers learned about other cultures and
  traditions when traveling along the road. When
  you trade goods, you also trade ideas!
• This road was very dangerous because of robbers
  and the conditions of the environment
• The merchants would only travel short distances
  and then would sell their goods for a profit
  instead of traveling the full 7000 miles.
• The silk road was not really a road at all! It
  was a land or sea path to get goods from Europe
  to China (or reverse)
• Groups of merchants usually traveled in a caravan
  when crossing the desert. Camals were usually
  used for this trip.

   wove it into wonderful silk. They did not have
   the variety we enjoy today however.
3. Silk road had difficult conditions. They had to
   travel through desert, avoid robbers and was over
   7,000 miles long.
4. Caravans were used in the desert for trade of
   goods. Camels were used as well.
5. Kashgar was a popular reststop for travelers
6. While selling silk, they also traded ideas!

   as silk and spices and paper. Nobody knew how to
   make silk for about 1000 years!
3. 7000 miles long but most merchants did not travel
   the entire road. They traveled only part way
   before selling their goods
4. Along the way you could find out about new things
   like religion When you trade goods, you also
   trade ideas! Goods and ideas traveled in both
   directions.
5. As you traveled farther from China, the price of
   the goods increased. The silk roads were not
   really roads but paths and merchants carried
   these goods to make a profit

   over the world. It was a major place of trade
