Introduction to World History to 1600 (Terran)
Monday 1:00-3:00 pm

Looking refreshed and ready for class (as he always has), Seimei glided into class and sat upon his pillow at the table in front of the classroom. “I trust everyone enjoyed Homecoming and are sufficiently refreshed to start class anew.”

He gestured to the scroll that carried the day’s discussion question.

Discuss the most significant commodity carried by The Silk Road.

"I agree with Liz on many points, her description of the trade route is valid. But I would argue the most significant commodity carried along this route was not silk and other goods, but religion. Buddhism came to China from India, along the northern branch of the route and Christianity also made an early appearance there."
