The Silk Road was a group of trade routesthat went across Asia to the Mediterranean Sea. This let China trade with the Middle East and the Mediterranean world.

It was called the Silk Road because silk was traded along it.  At the time, silk was only made in China, and it was a valuable material. The Silk Road not only earned China a lot of money, but all along the route cities prospered and markets flourished. Cities like Samarkand and Bukhara were built largely on the trade from the silk route.

Trade on the Silk Road played a big part in the growth of the ancient cultures of China, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, India, and Rome, and helped to make the beginning of today's world. The term Silk Road is Englishfor the German word "Seidenstrabe". The first person who called it that was a German geographer in 1877.

The intense, bright colors of silk, as well as its soft touch, make silk a high rated textile in most cultures. Silk making is an intricate process. Around 7000 years ago China invented the first technique of silk making. While the systems prevailed a closely observed intrigue for thousand years, some people from China who traveled to far-flung areas on foot, on camels and horseback, brought silk with them. The routes they developed came to be widely known as the Silk Route. Thereafter, this route is recognized as the earliest route to connect the East and West, particularly connecting East Africa, West Asia and Southern Europe with East Asia and Southeast Asia.
