The Silk Road was used for two main reasons. Neither of them are really silk related. The main thing it was used for was trading. People would travel along it to trade with other people and get the goods that they needed in turn for the goods other people wanted that they had. Another reason people used the silk road was for delivering products for trade to other towns along the routes. When people did both of these things they would take caravans which made it easier and safer for travel.
It's funny about how things can be in no way related. Like how it's called the Silk Road but silk wasn't a major part of it. However I guess the people could trade silk. Good job with the research.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they call it the Silk Road if silk isn't a major part? Really, why? Good research!
