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.
