Best Answer

The silk wasn't an actual road, but more a region of common paths from Europe through the Middle East, India and ending in China.

So you might say that it ended at either the Mediterranean Sea or the Sea of Japan. Depending on which way your cart is pointing.

yes! However, it was started by a German cartoligist/exployer, Baron Richthofen in 1877. He began several expeditions or excursions to Euransia, particularly China. The connection to Europe ended north of the Mediterean Sea at Italy, Greece, and Crete.

The Northern Silk Road is a prehistoric track way in northern China originating in the early capital of Xi'an and extending north of the Taklamakan Desert to reach the ancient kingdoms of Parthia, Bactria and eventually Persia and Rome.

What is the silk road?

The Silk Road, or Silk Routes, are an extensive interconnected network of trade routes across the Asian continent connecting East, South, and Western Asia with the Mediterranean world, including North Africa and Europe. So-called "Silk Routes" were not only conduits for silk, but for many other products and were also very important paths for cultural and technological transmission by linking traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, soldiers, nomads and urban dwellers from China to the Mediterranean Sea for thousands of years.The routes enabled people to transport trade goods, especially luxuries such as silk, satins, musk, rubies, diamonds, pearls and rhubarb. However not only were materialistic goods spread along the silk roads, thoughts, ideas, disease, and cultures travelled along as well.From different parts of the world in China, India, and Asia Minor to the Mediterranean, extending over 8,000 km (5,000 miles). Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizations of China, India, Egypt, Persia, Arabia, Rome, and Byzantium and helped to lay the foundations for the modern world in several respects. Although the term the Silk Road implies a continuous journey, very few travelers traveled the route from end to end. For the most part, goods were transported by a series of agents on varying routes and trade took place in the bustling mercantile markets of the oasis towns. The Central Asian part of the trade route was expanded around 114 BCE by the Han Dynasty, largely through the missions and explorations of Zhang Qian as earlier trade across the continents had already existed. In the late Middle Ages, transcontinental trade over the land routes of the Silk Road declined as sea trade increased.
