    The Indian Ocean trade network facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas between East Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia from around 500 BCE. Merchants utilized monsoon winds to sail trading vessels like dhows along coastal routes, transporting commodities such as silk, porcelain, spices, slaves, ivory, and more between isolated port towns. Relay trade systems allowed goods to be passed from merchant to merchant along the routes without traders having to travel the whole distance. The thriving trade increased cultural diffusion, with merchants often coming from multilingual, multicultural families and exposing local populations to new religions like Buddhism.
