A proposito di questo titolo

Long before the Mongols or Marco Polo, the Sogdians—a Persian-speaking people from Central Asia—were the true masters of the Silk Road. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how these merchants from Samarkand and Bukhara dominated trade between China and the West for over a thousand years. They discuss the Sogdian language as the lingua franca of the ancient trade routes, the discovery of the Ancient Letters—a cache of Sogdian correspondence from the 4th century that reveals the gritty realities of long-distance trade—and the Sogdians' role in transmitting Buddhism, Manichaeism, and even Nestorian Christianity into China. Learn about the fortress of Mount Mugh, where a Sogdian prince made a last stand against the Arab conquest, and how the Sogdian script gave rise to the Mongolian alphabet. This episode reveals how a people without an empire of their own shaped the cultural and commercial DNA of Eurasia.
