The Mighty Silk Road! As seen from its distant origins right up until today! Allow me to introduce Kevin MacFarland and his family from the exploration website www.intofarlan... . Please go visit his site and buy his fancy Silk Road Map at www.kickstarte... to further fund his explorations!
He has done what many of us have only dreamed of doing, taking the wide Asian continent on its own terms and retracing the myriad Silk Routes between China's Pacific coast to the markets of Turkey. From the deadly Taklamakan Desert to the Grand Canal of Huangzhou and the bazaars of Jordan, this family with a toddler and baby have been traveling these regions for years.
The Silk Road is one of the great wonders of the world. Put it on the list! For over 1500 years it formed a backbone of cultural, genetic, and even disease transmission across Eurasia. Focusing on a few key figures such as Tong Yabghu, Qaghan of the 7th century Göktürks and Zhang Qian, emissary and explorer of the Han Dynasty, this video is a departure from our normal style. It includes not only our documentary style but also the enthralling experiences of Kevin's own narration and interviews.
To take a long look at the Silk Road with us, please watch the video and take a journey over Into Far Lands! www.intofarlan...

"Full-time, part time, deep-joy of a full moon in the scintilatelly, heavenly dangely fold." A direct quote from British comedian Stanley Unwin, and it made as much sense as anything you just said.

Be a child of God and obey The Call to Repentance. Seek forgiveness for your sins, or perish in the eternal hell. Seek the ESV Bible, and live the scriptures. Patience is key!

Amazing life he and his family have achieved. And to still be young enough to do more. Congratulations on such a bountiful achievement.

At 21:14 is that a Manichaen art piece? I feel Manichaeism along the Silk Road is a very understudied topic that I would love to learn more about.

Also tell Indo-Scythians (also called Indo-Sakas) were a group of nomadic people of Iranic Scythian origin who migrated from Central Asia southward into the northwestern Indian subcontinent. The migrations persisted from the middle of the second century BCE to the fourth century CE. The Saka settled in Drangiana, a region of southern Afghanistan, western Pakistan and southern Iran which was then named Sakastan or Sistan. The mixed Scythian hordes who migrated to Drangiana and the surrounding regions later spread into north and south-west India via the lower Indus valley. They spread into Sovira, Gujarat, Rajasthan and north India, including kingdoms on the Indian mainland.

Page 0:23. Haven’t we, or AI, picked the wrong photo chronically? Were there hospital around at the time to offer skin stitching?

The Da Yuan were the Great Ionians. They lived in Alexandria Eshate, Alexandria the Furthest, which Alexander the Great had built. There the Han found the Heavenly Horses.

Reckon they traveled at night, during the big half of the moon's 28 day phases. We, the Wolf and I, often did this to avoid heat. From the preponderance of non-pants garb in old depictions of people, it was likely due to horses that most of the world now wears pants. Much of the Silk Road peoples have that cultural combination of generosity and friendliness to travelers with sequestration of women with severe control of that sequestration. Humans can vary enormously in affiliative sense to strangers, cultures shaped by modeling to their very young, their attitudes and behaviors. It is marvelous that the family exposed their very young to travel and different views of life.
