A Vast Network of Trade Routes
During the first millennium B.C.E. through the middle of the second millennium C.E., a vast network of trade routes known as the "Silk Road" linked the people and traditions of Asia with those of Europe. These historic routes served as a major conduit for the transport of knowledge, information and material goods between East and West and resulted in the first global exchange of scientific and cultural traditions.
