Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject History - Asia, grade: 3.6, The University of Sydney, language: English, abstract: What was the Silk Road? In what ways did it facilitate the cultural interaction between Korea and Middle-East? These are the main questions of this essay. The Silk Road has had an unprecedented impact on people in terms of cultural connections and the exchange of products. This trade network stretched from the Mediterranean Sea all the way to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, linking societies across Eurasia continent. It thrived majorly across East Asia and Central Asia from 100 BCE to 1500 CE. Many recent studies have researched the historical cross-cultural interaction and trading relations among Eurasian societies through the Silk Road. The studies have analyzed the explicit aspects and shifting historical backgrounds that influence the Silk Road societies and interrelation, as well as the exchange of ideas and innovations that link East Asia to the Middle East. As such, the research studies have developed a new viewpoint on the long-distance cultural interactions in Afro-Eurasia.
