Description	Silk Road Seattle is an ongoing public education project using the "Silk Road" theme to explore cultural interaction across Eurasia from the beginning of the Common Era (A. D.) to the Seventeenth Century. Our principal goal is to provide via the Internet materials for learning and teaching about the Silk Road. Much is available here already: historical texts, well illustrated web pages on historic cities and architecture Silk Road Seattle is sponsored primarily by the Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of Washington and has received additional financial support from the Silkroad Foundation of Saratoga, California
