SILK ROAD: 2,000-Year-Old Trade Route Through the World's Most Feared Lands | 4K Travel Documentary

Long before any border closed, a 2,000-year-old trade route carried silk, incense and Greek learning through the world's most feared lands. It was the Silk Road. This Silk Road documentary follows the old caravan path across five countries, from Isfahan in Iran to the Bosphorus in Istanbul. In Yazd, a sacred flame is believed to have burned since the year 470. In Jordan, Petra stayed unknown to Europeans until a traveler in disguise walked through its gorge in 1812. In Cappadocia, a villager broke through a wall in 1963 and found a city carved deep underground. In this 4K travel documentary, you will learn how Silk Road history moved goods, faiths and knowledge between Asia and Europe. You will also meet the people who keep its traditions today: marsh villagers in southern Iraq, Bedouin families in Wadi Rum and whirling dancers in Konya. It is Middle East travel beyond the evening news. #traveldocumentary #silkroad #SilkRoadDocumentary #silkroadhistory
