The trades routes of the silk were called Silk Roads, in these roads there were not only for silk exchange, there were some other thingslike paper, oil and Asian horses, among other things. The silk road began in China and went trough Asia, Mesopotamia and Europe. Because this road stretch across two continents, Europe and Asia, they were called trans-Eurasians. There were also cultural, customs, ideas and styles called cultural diffusion. The most important things that were exchanged were military methods and the Buddhism.
