I am just beginning to research the silk roads. The first thing I have learned was it was roads not one road. There is a map of the silk route in the Silk Museum in Georgia. I now understand more fully Nino’s comment about it being incorrect. In the beginning the silk road also had a lot to do with not only silk but jade. The subject is far more complicated than I ever imagined too. We’re talking about thousands of years of history, a huge geographical spread, complicated by the rise and fall of very distinct civilizations with their own languagers and scripts, some of which are still only half-deciphered. This is going to take me a while but I find myself excited beyond words. If you are interested in learning more, please let me know and I’ll continue to share as I know right now this is not very quilt related. Thanks, Karen
