Was the Great Silk Road of Han Dynasty a actual road?
The "silk road" was a path that caravans of traders took between China (the then only source of silk) to Europe. Therefore it was not a road as we would know one in the modern sense (fit for wheeled vehicles). The rout was used by caravans of pack animals and merchants went in convoy with armed mercenary guards to protect their goods.
Along the "road" trading cities grew and flourished - goods were moved from trading post to trading post by different merchants rather than from end to end, the journey would have been too long.
There were the equivalent of service stations established along the route, where caravans could stop for breaks in the journey.
The Golden Rule: Treat others as you wish to be treated, can be traced as far back as 1800 BC - before most major religions of today but was used as a part of those religions - in the Code of Hammurabi and as well as notably quoted by Confucius.
Some say it was a certain religion which originated this but this is not true as that moral principle has been around before they were even created. Religions tend to reuse older traditions and repackage them into their own.
