The Silk Road, also known as the Silk Route, was a historic trade route that connected China with the West and was used to transport commodities and ideas between the two great civilizations of Rome and China. Wools, gold, and silver moved east while silver, gold, and silk moved west. The Silk Road was also used by China to import Buddhism and Nestorian Christianity from India.
The 4,000-mile (6,400-km) road, which actually was a caravan tract, started in Xi'an (Sian), followed the Great Wall of China to the northwest, avoided the Takla Makan Desert, climbed the Pamir Mountains, crossed Afghanistan, and then continued to the Levant from where the goods were shipped across the Mediterranean Sea. Few people completed the entire trek, and and goods were handled in a Silk Road staggered progression by middlemen.
The Silk Road became more dangerous and less used as Roman influence in Asia gradually declined and Arabian authority in the Levant grew. When the Mongols resurrected the road in the 13th and 14th centuries, the Venetian Marco Polo utilized it to journey to Cathay (China). It is now largely believed that the passage was one of the primary Silk Road used by the plague bacteria that spread from Asia to Europe and caused the Black Death pandemic in the middle of the fourteenth century.
