SILK+ROAD+REVIEW

The silk road was used by many people from many different countries to make a profit or to get something they want. The silk road was extremely long, like 4,000 miles, probably longer than that. It went through many countries. There were many things sold and traded on it, including silk. Silk was sold in eastern Asia like China, where they would take the silk from the worm's salivary glands after the worm made a cocoon. They stuff from the salivary glands was in the cocoon that they took. Silk was like the best thing to have back then. Silk was extremely expensive. Silk is produced by silkworms. (Keith Mandel)
