Typo on "Silk Road" header?

The opening header of the Silk Road page states "Trade routes through Asia connecting Chinza to the Mediterranean Sea". Is "Chinza" a typo? Wikizuid (talk) 07:36, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't see any occurrence of "Chinza" in this article. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:28, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

The Silk Road

The Silk Road goes from Syria to Xi'an. Most of the Silk Road is in China. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.139.81 (talk) 18:38, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

     Don't most maps and sources include North Africa, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Arabia and East Africa, or are you talking about a part of the Silk Road? Cupcake547 (talk) 21:40, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Can we add a mention of another cross-cultural exchange between Tibet and other regions (China and Sogdiana) by adding a reference? Between footnote 89 and footnote 90, there is this sentence. "Silk Road reached its golden age, whereby Persian and Sogdian merchants benefited from the commerce between East and West." We can either add a footnote 90 after "East and West" or can add another sentence and put a footnote. "For example, a child's outfit excavated in Tibet is composed of pants and shirts in Chinese silk in an ensemble of a Sogdian silk jacket with Sassanian-Persian patterns of ducks symmetrically facing each other in a medallion, lined with Chinese silk damask" [footnote 90]

​ You became autoconfirmed after making the above edit, so you should now be able to directly edit the article and add this citation. – Thjarkur (talk) 19:56, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Typo

Page seems to be locked to editing but under section 6, "Routes", "Merchants along these routes where involved in..." should surely read "were involved in". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.133.60 (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting this, I have corrected the error. DuncanHill (talk) 23:08, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Ancient silk Road

Why silk Road was invented? 202.163.87.134 (talk) 15:33, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

It wasn't "invented". It was simply the result of the "economic" demand for silk in the time period. Vsmith (talk) 15:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Mongol invasions

"Genghis Khan" and his warriors mainly from the "Vajrayana Buddhism" tradition diminished the entire trade routes.

These invasions allowed for the "Age of Exploration" to be a success.

"Mongol Horde" was the greatest menace to the Silk Road repeatedly and the inhabitants couldn't protect their trade routes. 137.59.221.36 (talk) 11:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Mongol influence

Genghis Khan (Temujin), his forces captured then ruled the territory along the Silk Road.

(Note: Mongolia is landlocked, and yearn to be noticed in the Medieval world).

What's very interesting about the actual warriors of the "Mongol Horde" under the command of Genghis Khan is that they were adherents of Vajrayana Buddhism. Evidence proves that they owned Horses, and Yak. they also had close links to "Tibetan Buddhist" tradition of which we have now the country of "Bhutan".

The Mongol were invader upon the Silk Road on a massive scale; after which came the "Gunpowder Empires" and "European Mercantile Companies". 137.59.221.36 (talk) 10:00, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Precursors: Jade trade

I was looking for some info on the neolithic jade trade route along the lines of what later became the silk road, but couldn't find anything here or in the Steppe Route article. I think it should be addded eventually, seeing that it went on for quite some time and neolithic axes made from Chinese Jade were even found in the Iberian peninsula, suggesting an at least somewhat stable and organised trade up to Europe. --2001:16B8:6725:A300:E828:38E6:8634:496F (talk) 12:17, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
