When the Silk Road was closed, trade shifted to maritime routes, particularly through the Indian ocean and along coastal pathways. Merchants began using sea routes for transporting goods, which allowed for the exchange of commodities between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Additionally, local trade networks and overland routes, such as the Trans-Saharan caravans, became more prominent for regional exchanges. Innovations in navigation and shipbuilding facilitated these changes, leading to a new era of global commerce.
