Ahhh however, the silk road as it became known is older than that in many sections if not all sections, including the connection from the east coast of modern China to the Indus Valley through Nepal. I wish the region was much more politically friendly, there is so much archaeology yet to be dug through that region.

Great video ted, can you do some more history vs videos. You could include Alexander the Great, Oda Nobunaga, Teddy Roosevelt.

The graphics are perfect for young middle school to late elementary, but the vocabulary is way over their heads. Kids zone out after the first 60 seconds.

Is this why camels actually exist in Mongolia? They even eat snow and stuff so they've adapted. Maybe they're descended from a bunch of camels from Arabia transporting items.
