Sand, Silk, Sea




                                
            This week in class we talked about the silk, sand, and sea roads. The silk road had to deal with china and Asia, the goods they had were silk, ivory, gold, and agriculture. Some challenges they faced were wealth changes, economic policies, spread of religion, and lastly they were challenged by mountain travel. Second one was the sand roads, their goods were salt, gold, and slaves. The difficulty about this road was that it actually wasn’t a physical road; they trusted the camels to be their navigation and get them where they needed to be. The challenges of this road were that there was no water in the desert or food, and the weather was too hot. Lastly the sea road was traveled by boat on the sea. Their goods were spices, livestock, slaves, silk, and mass markets.
