CHAPTER 7 BLOG - Commerce & Culture

In this chapter trade and the exchanging of goods, commerce and culture of money was the most common theme, the trading of goods in this mainly focuses on the 3 main routes that travel across the mediterranean sea. These are called the Silk Road Sea, the Red Sea, and The Indian Ocean. 

Because of the extremely different climates and environments of these geographical locations on earth it was recognized that needs for other resources were needed, and instead of migrating civilizations could evolve and gather what they need in order to exchange something of value for something of value with another society. 

The silk road was what connected CHina and India, this brought upon the exchanges of Buddhism and Hindu practices. 

This is evident that trading brought around more than just the exchanging of goods and services, it allowed interactions with different cultures and thus the sharing of ideas, religion, philosophies, and languages.
