THE ANCIENT SILK ROAD

The Silk Road (or Silk Routes) is an extensive interconnected network of trade routes across the Asian continent connecting East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean world, as well as North and Northeast Africa and Europe.

Acclaimed as the "greatest route in the history of mankind", the ancient Silk Road (300 BC - AD 100) formed the first bridge between the East and West and was an important vehicle for trade between ancient empires of China, India, Persia & Rome.

Dating back 100 BC, the route was a channel for contact between people and cultures, inspiring the exchange of dialogue, art, religion, ideas & technology. With its richly diverse cultural heritage and its wealth of natural tourism attractions spanning across 12000 kilometers of ancient routes, the Silk Road today offers visitors the opportunity to experience a unique network of destinations, following the footsteps of some of the world's most acclaimed explorers such as Alexander the Great, Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta.

Watch George Webb’s daily reporting on YouTube for the modern-day updates on these ratlines, used for everything from drug movement to human slavery, enabled by Hillary’Hackers, the Awan brothers, and their protector at the FBI, Andrew McCabe.

The routes through the ‘stans are classic trekking routes for adv. motorcycle riders. KKR, Pamir Hwy and Leh-Manali are all on my bucket list, along with Iran once the mullahs are gone.

These road improvements will make treks possible on a 1200GSA that would have required a KLR;-)
