Question

how was silk discovered

what is silk route ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Silk originates from China, where silkworms have been cultivated for thousands of years to produce it. It is said that in 2640 BCE, the wife of Emperor Huang Di, Lei-Tzu was drinking hot tea under the shade of a mulberry tree when a cocoon fell from the tree directly in her cup.

The Silk Route was a historic trade route that dated from the second century B.C. until the 14th century A.D. It stretched from Asia to the Mediterranean, traversing China, India, Persia, Arabia, Greece, and Italy. It was dubbed the Silk Route because of the heavy silk trading that took place during that period.
