Like Megadroughts in arid central Asia delayed the cultural exchange along the proto-Silk RoadFebruary 17, 2021 at 12:00 AM Over the past four millennia the main corridor of ancient cultural dispersal passed through Arid Central Asia; historically, this marked the central artery of the Silk Road. However, little is known about the effects of hydroclimatic changes in this region on ancient human populations. An international team of researchers have identified a 640-year megadrought (5820-5180 a BP) impacting the desert oases of this region and hindering earlier cultural diffusion between East and West Asia.Tags: Silk Road, Asia, Science, East 38 people like this.
