Скачать или смотреть The Monsoon Marketplace: A History of the Indian Ocean's Great Trading Age

Long before the Silk Road reached its peak, a different, more powerful trade route was redefining the world. This one was not made of sand, but of water and wind. The mastery of the Indian Ocean's monsoon winds was the single greatest breakthrough in ancient trade, shattering monopolies and connecting the great empires of the West and East for the first time.
This documentary investigates the incredible economic history of the Monsoon Marketplace. We reveal how Roman imperial ambition, Indian resource wealth, and African commercial power converged to create a truly hemispheric economy. This is the story of how the quest for a simple spice created a river of gold and laid the foundations for the modern globalized world.
Join us as we uncover:
► The "Monsoon Code": the revolutionary discovery that turned the ocean into a highway.
► The Spice Coast of India and the massive hoards of Roman gold that prove the scale of the trade.
► Rome's "Gold Drain": how the empire's addiction to pepper and luxury created a massive trade deficit.
► The forgotten African kingdom of Axum, the powerful third pillar of this global economy.
► The invisible cargo: how religion, culture, and ideas traveled with the spices and the gold.
This is the story of the birth of globalization, a forgotten chapter in history written not on land, but on the open sea.
