Merchants who traded silk faced several barriers, including geographic obstacles like treacherous mountain ranges and vast deserts, which made transportation difficult and dangerous. They also encountered political challenges, such as varying regulations and taxes imposed by different kingdoms and empires along the trade routes. Additionally, cultural differences and language barriers could complicate negotiations and trade agreements with local populations. Lastly, the high demand for silk necessitated protection from banditry and theft, requiring merchants to be vigilant throughout their journeys.
