The Silk Road was the vast network of trade routes that connected East and West for over a thousand years, shaping the course of global history. Stretching from China through Central Asia to the Mediterranean, it carried not only silk, spices, and precious goods but also ideas, religions, technologies, and cultures that transformed civilizations. Caravans of merchants and explorers braved deserts, mountains, and bandits, while great cities like Samarkand, Kashgar, and Constantinople thrived as hubs of exchange. Along these routes, Buddhism spread to China, paper-making reached the West, and countless innovations crossed continents. More than a highway of commerce, the Silk Road was the world’s first true information superhighway, weaving together distant peoples and laying the groundwork for globalization. In this episode, we journey along the Silk Road—where trade, culture, and history converged across thousands of miles.

No good for sleep because of ads that don't revert back to the video. I got 7 minutes in, first ad break did revert, second just kept running and needed direct press to skip
knew it was AI because of the off quality of the plosives. high frequency noises sounded super unnatural.
I used to get hype seeing these until I realized it’s ai slop

Interesting topic and calm, relaxing narrator. UNFORTUNATELY, the constant interruptions by advertising is jarring and disruptive.
Best voice for relax
