Class Description:
The culture of the Silk Road flourished after Alexander the Great's invasion of Persia and Central Asia. Between 200 AD and 1400 AD, the Road served as a hub of activity between Rome and Chang'an. Then the discovery of the sea routes put an end to its activity. After the fall of the Soviet Union, not only trade but also the intellectual activities associated with the Silk Road were revived connecting Turkey, Central Asia, and China with fiber optics. The course covers both the history of the Road and the present cultural boom associated with such cities as Istanbul, Samarqand, Tashkent, and Kashghar.

Past/present state of the cultures that flourished in Central Asia (present-day CA republics, Iran, Afghanistan) after Alexander the Great and declined with opening of sea routes.
Class Description:
The cultures of the Silk Road flourished in present-day Central Asia, the region ?between Dunhuang and Merv, under the Sassanids, the western Turks, and the Mongols. ?After the discovery of the sea routes, the movement of goods on land became less ?profitable, but the exchange of ideas?religious, social, political, and literary?continued ?and is creating new opportunities. ? Since the fall of the Soviet Union, there has been an attempt at reviving the Silk ?Road by the region's centers of learning and prominent international banks. The potential ?for the exchange of ideas across cultures for creating a better world is as promising a ?notion today as it was real in medieval times.? The course is devised to acquaint students with the dynamics of the Silk Road, ?both in medieval and contemporary times. It provides the necessary information to ?understand, interpret, and accept ideas and actions that, on the surface, might appear alien ?and often unacceptable. The course emphasizes the contributions of the cultures of ?Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran to world civilization.?
