Traveling the Silk Road
DECEMBER 2, 2009 WEDNESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
For almost three thousand years, a web of trading routes connected the civilizations of China, Northern Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, transporting everything from silk and religion to disease across the ancient world. We will travel the Silk Road from Xian, the old capital of China, to ancient Baghdad with Dr. Mark Norell, curator of the Silk Road exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.

Guest
  • Mark Norell, curator of the "Traveling the Silk Road" exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History in New York
