Chapter 8,9 & 10


     WOW, the Silk, Sea and Sand roads of the Afro-Eurasian world. It's easy to see how that part of the world was bustling along. Silk road, sea routes and through sand.

    Suppliers got their goods delivered. I can imagine all the little "other" business's that sprung up along these routes. Just buzzing with taverns, rest stops, eateries and many other trading going on.

     This of course sets off the acceleration of connections. This is where conflicts, upheavals, overthrows, and simple changes happened.

      Religions were shared, along with hundred of other ideas just learned through interactions. Each Civilization had something borrowed or founded or learned from others.

     Seems like Chapter 10 presents more turmoil, wars, religious and otherwise, crusading with the "homies" ("home-ies"). Europe was behind, and just starting to catch up.

     Well, I never knew it happened in that order. I found the order of events very interesting, chronologically speaking.
