What was the main channel for communication between people across Europe and Asia in the ancient world?

The main channel for communication between people from all over Europe and Asia in the ancient world was the Silk Road.

Origin of the name: The Silk Road was a historical trade and transportation line across the Eurasian continent, which historically promoted friendly exchanges between European, Asian and African countries and China. China is the hometown of silk. Among the trade carried out through this route, silk is the most representative commodity exported from China. In the second half of the 19th century, German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen called this land transportation route the "Silk Road." Since then, Chinese and foreign historians have agreed with this term and it is still used today.

Introduction: The Silk Road, an ancient trade exchange route. Also known as the Silk Road, it is a route that crosses Central Asia, crosses the Pamirs, and reaches West Asia.

The Silk Road started from Chang'an (now Xi'an), the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, and Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It crossed the Longshan Mountains, passed through the Hexi Corridor, passed Yumen Pass and Yangguan, and reached Xinjiang, along the oasis and the Pamirs through Central Asia, West Asia and North Africa, eventually reaching Africa and Europe. The Maritime Silk Road starts from the southeast coast of China, passes through Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and finally reaches Europe. The Silk Road was not only China's "national highway" connecting the East and the West, but also an international channel for economic and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries throughout ancient times.
