Expanded by Han Dynasty
To connect the Asian Society
Trade products along the route
Traveled often by a scout
Aided development of civilizations
A passageway between the nations
Political relations expanded
Commodities bartered and branded
Exportation and ideas exchanged
Religious mission’s passage arranged
Empires built and destroyed
New ideas along it employed
Plagues moved through like fire
Multiple continents able to inspire
One long path connected the East
Aided commerce and ideas to increase
The gateway to move goods about
Esteemed Silk Trade Route
