Course Catalog Description:
Past/present state of cultures that flourished in Central Asia (present-day CA republics, Iran, Afghanistan) after Alexander the Great. Decline with opening of sea routes.
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.
