[00:16.92]Although the Silk Road [00:17.87]covered a huge distance linking modern day [00:20.71]Xi'an with the Middle East and Europe, [00:23.65]today one area in particular [00:26.32]is associated most closely with the name [00:28.66]of the Silk Road. [00:30.58]This area is Xinjiang in Northwest China, [00:34.24]through which two major routes [00:35.87]of the Silk Road passed on the northern [00:38.23]and southern side of the Taklamakan desert. [00:41.95]The name [00:43.79]The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century [00:46.96]when a German geographer identified it [00:49.20]as the route through which the Romans [00:51.31]got their silk from China. [00:53.58]However, silk wasn't the only thing [00:56.02]that passed along the Silk Road; [00:58.10]anything that had buyers was traded [01:00.01]along the road. [01:01.86]Goods were traded from market to market [01:04.29]passing through many hands [01:05.92]before they reached their final destinations. [01:07.60]
