HIST 3375 - Silk Road

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: HIST 1111 or HIST 1112.
The Silk Road was the world’s first great superhighway, linking China and Japan to the Mediterranean World across Central Asia from ancient times. The peoples along the way traded luxury goods as well as ideas, religions, art, culinary and musical traditions. Through lectures, reading, and films, we explore the cultural interactions between East and West. Primary sources help us understand the great ideas in Buddhism, Islam, the Indian royal epics, Christian crusading and Mongol expansion.
