A Silk Road Timeline > 
The "Silk Road," a 4000 mile-long network of interconnecting roads, or caravan tracts, served from ca. 500 BC to 1500 A.D. as the major highway for transporting material goods and knowledge between Europe, the Near East, India, and China — the four major centers of civilization at the time. Over this period of almost 2000 years, exotic and commercial goods, skills, knowledge, and religion — as well as silk — crisscrossed the Eurasian continent, and shaped the course of European and Asian history and culture.
