Is Africa part of the Silk Road?

No Africa is not a part of Silk Road, Pakistan is part of Silk Road ----- There were parts of the Silk Road that went through Africa. The Silk Road was not actually a road, but a network of transportation routes running from southern China, and other areas in the East, to Europe. The land routes went through central Asia and crossed Persia and Turkey. But there were sea routes, and one of these went around India and to the Red Sea, where one possible route was to cross to the Nile, travel down the Nile to the Mediterranean Sea, and cross to Europe from there. The sea routes became more important whenever the land routes were unsafe. The Silk Road was also not just for silk, but for spices, and some of these came from farther south in Africa, so some branches of the Silk Road went there. There were also branches to Indonesia. There is a link below to an article with a map showing different Silk Road routes.
