The merchants who traveled the Silk Road exchanged more
than trade goods; they exchanged stories and ideas as
well. The cultures of China, Persia, Afghanistan,
India, and the Roman Empire stretched out over four
thousand miles and were linked together, in part,
through stories. Hearing the stories from these cultures
brings a unique context to learning about the people who
travelled the Silk Road thousands of years ago.
