Скачать или смотреть Rise and Fall of Sogdiana: Silk Road’s Lost Heart

Step into the forgotten world of Sogdiana, the heart of the Silk Road from the 6th to 11th century.
Nestled between the mighty Zeravshan and Amu Darya rivers, this ancient Iranian civilization shaped global trade, culture, and religion. From Samarkand to Bukhara, Sogdian merchants became the legendary “middlemen of the Silk Road,” carrying silk, spices, glassware, and ideas between China, India, Persia, and the West.

Discover their Golden Age of trade, their role in spreading Buddhism to China, their vibrant art and murals, and the dramatic Battle of Talas (751) that changed world history by carrying the secret of paper westward.
Though eventually absorbed into the Islamic world, the Sogdians left behind a lasting legacy—scripts, frescoes, and the spirit of global entrepreneurship.

This is the story of a people who, though politically small, became giants of culture, commerce, and civilization.
