Although silk was known to the Ancient civilizations, the Silk Road/ Route [former Cathay Route] was reintroduced to the Europeans by Marco Polo merchant and explorer.
The Silk Road crossed many countries from the Far East to Europe and several civilizations and religions were met by the average traveller.

The term Silk Road/ Route was first introduced at 1877 by the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen.
