The Silk Road and Central Eurasia 25350A
Join us on an historical journey through Central Eurasia and the byways of the Silk Road--the ancient trade routes linking East Asia with Central Asia, South Asia and the Mediterranean world from 4500 B.C.E. to the nineteenth century. This course renders tribute to the thousands of years of history in which these routes served as not only a center of trade, but to the vast cultural, artistic and religiousmovements that either began or flourished around it. Gripping historical narratives of the journeys of monk Xuanzang, the conquerorGenghis Khan, and merchant Marco Polo--all travelers of the Silk Road--will be complemented with representative manuscripts, maps, artifacts, drawings, paintings and photographs bringing the Silk Road to life, reflecting the diversity of places and cultures and people that were connected when the great silk trade flourished. Additional experiences will extend the course's reach with sounds, smells and tastes of the Silk Road
