Silk Road Questions
I'll type out what you need to cover so you won't have the same answer as everyone else.
1. China would want to keep it a secret, so that way they can sell more, while no one else can!
2.You would not want to trade Wheat or Rice because it doesn't have a high value per volume!
3.Camels made it easier to move goods along the silk road. You could carry more, farther!
4.Nomads made it very easy to move goods, because they were already good at living in the desert!
5. I think the Silk Roads saved the teachings of Buddhism because, their ideas got spread around faster, and they gave silk to those in Buddhism who needed it!
