The Pre – Modern World
Globalization is referred to an economic system that has emerged since
the last 50 years.
From ancient times Travelers, Traders, Priests, and pilgrims traveled vast
distances for Knowledge, opportunity and spiritual fulfillment or to escape
persecution.
They carried goods, money, values, skills, ideas, inventions, and even
germs and diseases.
As early as 3000 BCE an active coastal trade linked the Indus Valley
Civilizations. Civilizations with present day West Asia. For more than a
millennia, Cowries (seashells) from Maldives found their way to china and
East Africa.
The long distance spread of disease carrying germs may be traced as far
back as the 17th century.
Silk Routes Link The World
The Silk Routes are vibrant Pre modern Trade and Cultural Links between
distant parts of the world.
The name ‘silk routes’ points to the importance of West bound Chinese Silk
cargoes along this route.
Historians have identified several silk routes, over land and by the sea,
knitting together vast regions of Asia, and linking Asia with Europe and
northern Africa.
They are known to have existed since before the Christian Era and thrived
almost till the 15th century.
But Chinese pottery also traveled the same route, as did Textiles and
Spices from India and Southeast Asia. In return, precious metals – GOLD
and SILVER flowed Europe to Asia
