The Silk Road — Bridge Between Worlds | Heritage Metal Sign

The Pax Mongolica made it possible, for the first and perhaps only time, to travel safely from the Pacific coast of China to the Mediterranean coast of Europe overland. The Black Death used the same routes. Silk, spices, horses, gold, ideas, diseases, religions — the accumulated knowledge of every civilization along its length. The Mongols did not create the Silk Road. They made it safe enough to actually use. The camel caravan, the waystation fire, the silk bolt — in aluminum.
