With Arctic ice melting, a Northern Silk Road could soon link #Canada’s🇨🇦 Pacific ports Vancouver directly to #China’s coast, cutting shipping times by up to 30%.

Through the Arctic corridor 🇨🇦 can lead in safe, sustainable trade while monitoring climate impact.

Qalamos: Connecting Manuscript Traditions

@qalamos.bsky.social

That is fascinating! #Qalamos, with its entries on text fragments from the #Turfan collection, is undoubtedly also an online resource for anyone interested in writing cultures along the Silk Road. The basic metadata can already be viewed, a starting point for those interested in #silkroad cultures.

Did You Know? Merv: A 12th Century Metropolis on the Silk Roads | Silk Roads Programme

Human settlements of various sizes have existed at the site of Merv, in what is today Turkmenistan, between the 3rd millennium BCE and the 18th century CE. However, at its peak in the 12th century CE, Merv was one of the largest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world with an estimated population of over half a million.

If it was about drug cartels,this administration wouldn't have thrown out the welcomed mat 4 El Chapos family.If it was about cartels, this administration wouldn't have pardoned the dude that owned SilkRoad that received a life sentence. Why doesn't anyone point this out in the news or pressers?
