Congratulations on this outstanding, multifaceted historical production based upon broad, extremely long-term, politico-economic-cultural perspectives; bravo!
Papyrus, from which we get the modern word paper, is a writing material made from the papyrus plant, a reed which grows in the marshy areas around the Nile river. Papyrus was used as a writing material as early as 3,000 BC in ancient Egypt, and continued to be used to some extent until around 1100 AD.
It was a super wonderful documentary about Silk Road effectiveness for publishing and transferring civilizations from east to west in Eurasia through learning papers production and recording sciences, literature, and religion's on papers...a respectful(Get.factual) channel always introducing informative, interesting and enlightenment levels uprising documentaries....thank you (Get.factual )channel for sharing 27:30
This documentary is fantastic. I didn't know that the Chinese paper technology appropriated by the Islamic Caliphate enabled the Spanish Moors to introduce book production and the expansion of study and education in Europe. Paper not only enabled European governments to adopt the practice of recording important things in writing (imitating a practice that was already adopted in the caliphate and in China), it was the support of a true technological, cultural and administrative revolution.

What we should do is: Refuse new stuff, reduce what we need to use, reuse the stuff we have, recycle what we have used and cannot be reused any more, and rot what is organic material.
Wow, you are such an innovative mind. Some may attribute you to the great thinkers of our colorful past such as Socrates and Plato. These ideas you propose are extremely counter intuitive and nuanced. Thank you for your input.
Yeah this is why I'm skeptical about the US' current attempts to limit Chinese acquisition of the most modern semiconductor manufacturing equipment. On one hand it makes sense, but on the other, you're just encouraging them to build their own industry instead of relying on ours, which we can cut off when it really matters.
Vellum paper was first developed in Egypt back in 3000 BC. It was made from animal hides, primarily calfskin, and used for documents like royal decrees and treaties. Egyptians also used vellum to record their histories and literature. Over time, other cultures began using vellum, including Greeks, Romans, and Arabs, who used it for legal documents and religious manuscripts.
It is not a dictatorship, more like an Aristocratic Bureaucracy with a proper Merit-based system. Compare that with Western Oligarchy, 1% rich elite ruling the world and shaping its future (WEF).
@@muhammadadeel8639Of course you'd say that. Your people are incapable of governing themselves. Islam is incompatible with democracy. Too many willing slaves, not enough individual thinkers.
The old silk road gave useful trade of needed goods to the world. The new silk road gives the world more ways to use valuable resources for worthless trinkets. Eventually everyone likes to eat and drink when it's no longer available.
You present the Chinese block printing technology invented during the Tang Dynasty but you don’t mention that the Chinese were also the first who invented the movable type printing technology for paper books in 1040, during the Song Dynasty (960-1279).
This video overemphasis on Chinese was very bias! Silk Road is just a representative term, in fact, there was no fixed routes but the trade journey for all business cross Europe and Asia for many centuries.
You guys do know that anytime anybody spreads any information whatsoever they are engaging in propaganda right? To propagate information is propaganda by definition. So when the CCP sets forward information to the public they are surely engaging in propaganda. Smart people dont reject information just because of the source; we investigate whether the information is correct or not. The CPP is correct in this instance. I applaud them.
Chinese are an intelligent people. They invented paper for writing. Most of the advancements we see in Communist China are modern conveniences adopted from other countries that have industrialized. These countries are free-market capitalist societies with modern democratic republican forms of government that tolerate free speech. The free market aspect of these societies depends on an open, free (as in free speech) society that respect individual property rights (capitalist). No one can confiscate the property you worked hard for. The concept of property extend beyond a physical entity which includes intellectual or artistic creations. When an individual's property or creation is protected by law then there is an incentive for everyone to work hard and advance their own craft, trade, or profession. When everyone in a society is incentivized to move forward then that society is transformed into a modern, industrialized nation.
Modern China is still very creative and productive. Chinese easily out innovate the west. In fact Korea and Japan also out innovate the west. That shows innovation is more about culture and society
What difference does it make, the hypothesis is nonsense, the Egyptian also have human like figurines. The evidence is in front of you the Chinese emperors adopted realistic terracotta warriors and that is uniquely Chinese, any suggestion to the contrary is not supported by evidence, just another euro-centric conjecture
This is a very interesting story but you manage to make it very tedious with two second shots of things that we can't see what they are. I guess you thought that would make it more dramatic. It's a story that doesn't need to made more dramatic.
Greate presentation , but the content is being dragged. It talks more about europe and start with china. Like a propaganda video that keep lose track every 30 seconds :)
Very destructive conclusion! The silk road is along similar latitudes. South America runs along similar longitudes. Think about it before commenting again.
They were isolated from the other continents and thus isolated from the natural progression of science technology through exchange of goods and ideas. Your comment is very telling of your intelligence 👍🏽
@@kusheran lol, the climate of north Europe and as far as South Asia are just as extreme if you wanna count the entire western hemisphere’s north south points, but east to west of North America and South America are 6000km and no significant trade ever occurred. I’ve travelled LATAM for 1.5yrs and I can tell you the pp, aren’t business savvy at all. Look at global IQ East Asians and Europeans are the highest.
@@kagar3465 isolated from other countries? Lol they never developed proper cities themselves, and didn’t possess the intelligence to explore and make contact with other parts of the Americas.
@@kagar3465 Quote from the doc, “we are dealing with a refined and learned civilization”. Referring to the Chinese. The americas got conquered, but asia never did because the cultures are much stronger and resilient.
Excellent documentary. Well presented & very interesting & informative. Thankyou.
Silk road is becoming one of my favourite history subjects ..thx for the great video get factual❤❤

Love the Silk Road series from this channel! 👍👍
Chinese had a firm hold of this world's history on different fields... I always find China a mesmerizing mysterious country

Excellent document. Thanks a lot.

As many as 20,000 camels in one caravan. Astonishing!
"Paper road" is a much better name.
It doesn't sell well any more than the term "paper trail" lol.

And it's the the last five minutes that the scary part do we really want a dictarship having that much power over wold trade .

You appear to know very little about Chine modern day (or ancient) governance or innovations.
You can learn a little bit about the bureaucratic system and business society in ancient China...all of which are related to today's China.
Modern China is still very creative and productive. Chinese easily out innovate the west. In fact Korea and Japan also out innovate the west. That shows innovation is more about culture and society

that route has been used by civilizations for many millennia. and not just to get all the way from end to the other. get real will ya.

no India country before British ruled them
India just a place name like Africa
