An incredibly detailed and captivating exploration of the Silk Road! This documentary highlights its profound impact on trade, culture, and the world as we know it. A must-watch for history enthusiasts!
Excellent film. It was not what I initially expected but turned out to be much better, a profound examination of interconnected historical processes. Very informative and educative.
I loved this documentary because it brought together a large sum of world history instead of a fully western perspective which has been done to death. I’m more interested in the lesser known regions of history
why dont you speak Chinese then? they have addressed this topic to death from their perspective find a Chinese documentary where they address this topic from the Western perspective without mocking it, report back on the other hand this Western documentary presents "the other" perspective respectfully you are speaking a Western language and living in a Western world and want be spoon fed
This documentaries are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get. For example i wanted to learn about silk road and trade and politics end economy like title suggested, but i ended learninh how cavalry evolved and which weapons did the warriors use
There were two things in the documentary that I caught that were actually wrong: first, Istanbul is Turkish for Constantinople, not "Find Islam"; secondly, the Ottoman cannons were terrible, and the Hungarian engineer who built them died when one of them exploded and the Ottomans had to resort to other methods to take the city. Also, paper was not new, it had existed in a variety of materials besides pulp for some time before the Chinese version of paper, usually reeds or animal skin (vellum). Just like the Chinese version of paper could be used to make books just like Chinese paper, and books already existed in Europe long before the Chinese paper-making methods were implemented in the west. Otherwise, I loved this fascinating documentary. One of the least biased videos on the Silk Road that I've seen in a while.
40 centimetres is almost 16 inches not a foot. About time theUSA caught up with the rest of the world. Of course the USA foot is probably LARGER, LIKE tRUMP'S CROWDS.
Paper is very different from parchment that was used in Europe before the gradual adoption of paper from the Arabs, who got the technology from the Chinese. Leather was and is much more expensive than paper made from wood pulp. This combined with the printing press (also invented in China btw) were some of the prerequisites for the reformation and the age of enlightenment in Europe. People should understand that its cooperation, not cultural chauvinism that drives global development.
I find it strange that a documentary about the Silk Road doesn’t even hardly mention the silk exchanged on it. It’s interesting how the Chinese went through great lengths to keep it a secret of how to make silk and where it came from. They made it a capitol offense to transport the silkworms or their eggs outside the country guarding the process with the threat of death for anyone who attempted to reveal it to outsiders. This allowed them to maintain a monopoly on silk production for centuries.
I was hoping they would tell the story of how Romans took Chinese silk, unpicked it from the heavier brocade style and found a way to reweave it into a much lighter fabric. Then they resold it to China. Then a guy in the middle of the two, who controlled the chokepoint on the trade, basically convinced China that the Romans had developed their own silk worms so that China would think they had lost their monopoly and lower their prices in order to compete with this new Roman industry. He even turned away Chinese ambassadors twice who came seeking information on this new silk making program so they wouldn't find out it was just their own silk being reprocessed! 😅
@@bwhotwing411 But a fake story. The Chinese were not dumb. And the silk they exported at such high prices were still of much lower quality than they ones thy reserved for the own royalty. Nobody could touch that. It was a capital offence.
That’s where “watch your back” comes from, from the arrow coming backward from riding the horse..with bow and arrow being shot backwards from the Huns.
Chinese silk was worth its weight in gold in ancient Rome.The Senate of Rome forbade men to wear silk, as gold and silver were spent on the purchase of silk. Silk clothes were worn only by rich women. The purchase of silk was one of the causes of the financial crisis of the Roman Empire. Silk was learned to be produced only under Emperor Justinian in Constantinople.
how do you know where you there i dont the chinese ever got anywhere near italy let alone got out of china werent they to busy fighting amongesthemselves
@jollyroger6723 I would have to ask everyone who uses the phrase "worth it's weight in gold" when referring to a commodity "prized" for the FACT that it has relatively NO WEIGHT not weigh in on subjects too heavy for them to contimplate
Marco Polo said A roadhouse every 10 miles. The rule was if you wander farther than you can see the light of the roadhouse, you won't find the way back. The bones of the foolish are found aplenty
great job on the documentary! it really dives deep into the complexities of the Silk Road. but honestly, i feel like it oversimplifies some aspects of trade relationships between cultures. i think there’s a lot more nuance to how they interacted, especially regarding power dynamics. would love to hear other thoughts on this!
The peoples of the southeastern Russian and northern Asian Steppe also started using horseback to coral and hunt animals they could never keep up with on foot. It’s not a stretch to say that some of that knowledge gained on horseback hunting animals was adapted for cavalry warfare.
I got from this VDO much more than what I'd learnt from the history classes at the school all my life. Very brilliant document. High quality content, production, and information. Excellent visual, audio, storyline, narration. Well done! 👏🏻
1:35:43 yeah, it's obvious these massive shipbuilding docks were used to construct massive canal barges, not ocean going vessels. No doubt the treasure fleet had some impressively large ships among them, but people should not exaggerating into the fantastical.
This section of this documentary caught my attention, too. But because the writers seemed to want to give the impression to viewers that those large vessels were built, or designed, by shipbuilders from China, and that was not the case. Those large vessels originated from Java, or that area; as I don't have any text at the moment, the details aren't clear. I'm going from my studies years ago. I would guess that if somebody were to check Wikipedia they could get details to support what I am remembering from long ago. My "long ago" not back in the 12th, 13th Centuries. Maybe earlier than those years. Anyway, give credit to the proper folks, and that isn't the shipbuilders from China, although they might have eventually copied the design. And, thank you chrisw.5138 for highlighting that part of the documentary. Overall, the contents aren't so bad, but I did wonder about such detail about the Black Death and its impact on society of Euro type folks. Oh well, I didn't do the hard work to make it, so who am I to offer that thought? Sorry to the writers and such. But get that ship thing correct next time, please. Folks from Java would appreciate that. I think it was Java. Maybe somebody could check and see if my old brain has that right.
At around ~40 Mins. ... The Trade was already esteblished and florisching. This wasnt the first time some Quacks brought back something frome the east. But it was the first time that the exchange of Ideas and Goods took new hights, like a Realestate-Bubbel.
Horses were too small to ride and that is why chariots came first before horseback riding. You are ignorant to believe that riding a horse is easy. You can not just jump up on any old horse and ride it. Go get a wild mustang and try riding it right off the range and see how long you last. Even the best horses can be difficult to ride, even Superman had a problem, fool.
52:24 recent archeological evidence is showing the presence of plague bacteria and a Neolithic people who appeared to have disappeared and showing reoccupation of the land from people around Poland😮
Actually not, Xiongnu and Avars were not or not direct ancestors of the Mongols but more likely the Hungarians. They were Scythians just like the Huns and the Parthians. They were told the most ancient culture of the world by the Egyptians and the roman historicals.
I don't think it is correct to say that the Chinese were using toilet paper in the early centuries of the common era. I Tsing, a buddhist monk who visited India in the later half of the 8th century, remarked on the methods used by the monks in their monastery and seems to have been impressed... he adopted those methods and toilet paper was not mentioned by him even in passing.
But it is not just silk, gorgeous as it is but all kinds of spices, pepper, salt, nutmeg, everything…used to keep food everyone to last longer. Quite astounding that due to the Steppe, one can move from China, across the Steppe to the west, albeit with difficulty but can and was used. People migrated across the Steppe to the West…making trade, towns, etc. If the Steppe could not be crossed, ie more mountains, North to south, history would be quite different for mankind.

I commented to an individual that uttered a "commonly used" phrase obviously ignorant of the "facts" of the matter! The phrase "worth it's weight in gold" is probably the worst attribute to "heap" upon a commodity "prized" for it's "sheer" smoothness besides other attributes. I have a hunch not one savvy Arab Trader ever used the above mentioned phrase while dealing with the Western terminus of said Road. However the same said Trader would likely become one of the first tycoons in history if he could get the Eastern terminus to accept the premise that "Silk is worth it's weight in gold"! Let me explain, Silk is highly sought for the fact that it's light(weighs like nothing) among other things, so next time use something like "It's worth more than all the Tea in China"!
lol, Haters gonna hate. Why can't you just face the fact? Chinese civilization is one of the 4 oldest cradle civilization on Earth and contributed signification to human civilization
What the silk road did was essentially modernize their way of trade Before the silk road it was local all trade basically a much smaller scale the silk road was the first time trade had become a global thing now what exactly made the nations attached to it larger and more productive was that when trade first began each individual area would try and steal it. China came in and taught them no theres enough there for all of us and gave each section a cut as it went thru by doing so it opened up trade It was said that at one point a maiden could travel thru the road with gold and not be killed touched or harmed. So the whole way of looking at how to deal with this elevated all of their mind states and essentially their empires which gave way to war. Persians the Ottoman's none of them fuxked with China but once their empires grew they tried to take over other places
What irritates me is the depiction of the users of this technology. The Scythians (if shown here) did not look Asian. They (Scythians) were Germanic looking peoples. Red hair, Blonde hair, Brown Hair, and Grey hair. Why do we as a society present incorrect depictions of various cultures? Is this intentional? I would like to know. The same people (Scythians) are the ones who conquered Egypt with their chariots and recurved bow. They were called the Hyksos. How can we move forward without all the propaganda taught to us removed? The Scythians history is not taught correctly in any American school system.
The same rotund woman was seen hounding the jews during the plague of Justinian , became middle class 150 years later and after Constantinople fell, was seen hankering for Asian luxury goods. These days she is an actress .
Why nothing is mentioned about India's role? Is this film biased towards China? at 2:14:20 - China was in fact ruled by hereditary monarchy - not by random intellectuals
Also all the great plagues that killed a significant percentage of peoples of the west, drove westward through Silk Road. Never the opposite direction.
The celts had spurs in 500BC and the Romans supposedly had them in the first century AD too, so it seems possible there was spurs in 50 years earlier in 53BC given Rome was pretty far north during that time and met some Celts.
Pasta is a copy otherwise the whole of Europe would be eating noodles as a stable instead it is China and countries with Chinese influences such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
Islam wasn't called Islam in the 7th century, it wasn't until the rein of the great arab reformer Ab'd ul Malik in the 9th century that it claimed the name.
Great documentary but must be old. The Black Death gene has been identified. It explained why a particular family would have perceived immunity, hardly affected.

There were two things in the documentary that I caught that were actually wrong: first, Istanbul is Turkish for Constantinople, not "Find Islam"; secondly, the Ottoman cannons were terrible, and the Hungarian engineer who built them died when one of them exploded and the Ottomans had to resort to other methods to take the city. Also, paper was not new, it had existed in a variety of materials besides pulp for some time before the Chinese version of paper, usually reeds or animal skin (vellum).

Otherwise, I loved this fascinating documentary. One of the least biased videos on the Silk Road that I've seen in a while.
Maybe semantics, a writing surface made out of reeds (papyrus) or animal skins (vellum) is not paper. Paper is made from either wood pulp or cloth.
According to Wiki and other sourses , Istanbul is a Greek dirivative meaning "in (or into) the city". Slurred via time into Istanbul.
