A Silk Road Before the \"Silk Road\"
#2
As always, it is a matter of definition. When is a route frequented enough by traders to become called a trading route? In pharaonic-era graves Afghan lapis lazuli was found, meaning that the silk road must have been active long before its 'official' beginning.
