The Silk Road
In the 3rd century, Merchants and Explorers traveled the same road as Emperors and Thieves. Follow them in the 20th century on a voyage into the heart of Asia. The Silk-Road introduces the Peoples, History, Languages, Religions and Explorers of the ancient route and the Silk Road today. Choose your own routes through markets and hidden caves; follow the maps to see how Buddhism spread from India along the valleys and over the mountains of China. Investigate Zaroastrianism, read about the importance of Kashgar and the Tarim Basin, build a yurt and hear the sounds of the Tibetan monks.
