Talk:Cities along the Silk Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two issues should be resolved for the list to be cogent:
- Should we add a section on the route from the Northern Europe (Varangians, Hansa) via Novgorod, Kazan/Bolghar, Astrakhan/Sarai, Derbent, and Khiva?? --Ghirlandajo 16:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Better still, scrap this whole dreadful entry - "Silk road cities" are nothing more than an invention for ignorant tourists. It is embarrasingly inaccurate, for example most trade between Persia and Constantinople went through Trebizond and then by ship along the Black sea. Where is that mentioned in the silly little map?
