This is the storey of a trade route that changed the world, a route that was over 5000 miles long. It began with a single commodity, a material spun from the cocoon of a moth that became the closing of emperors. This was the Silk Road. It ran a ll the way from China's ancient capital through Central Asia through mythical cities such as Sir Mark Land or Persepolis until it reached the bazaars of Istanbul, the merchants of Venice. It ran through deserts and oases through valleys and over mountain passes from Alexander the Great to Genghis Khan. Emperors and princes fought to control the Silk Road.
