I went to the Ladakh (a UT in India) this summer, and we saw the ACTUAL ORIGINAL route of what was called the Silk road. It looked so primitive, carved into the walls, they were platforms Carved into the rocky mountains, it looked to compact but the guide told us its an optical illusion, its actually very wide. we could not go up there because its a protected route by the archeological survey of India. But it looked so cool, I started imagining how people must've travelled thru this route all across the continent and discover new culture and worlds beyond their imagination. It was truly Fascinating.

Its stated in the video that Hinduism didnt really spread out of India but this is wrong. Hinduism is a main part of the Thai religion as well as Indonesia. Hindu culture is very prevalent in Southeast Asia all the way from the Khmer empire up to the present day. One of the main Gods of Thailand is Ganesh

You are wrong when you say Hinduism didn't spread outside India. It spread to South East Asian countries, Afghanistan, parts of China as well, Sri Lanka etc. Please read actual History before spreading false info.

Regarding 6: 09, Kublai Khan was not the son of Genghis Khan. Instead Kublai Khan was a grandson of Genghis Khan. Kublai Khan was the second son of Tolui who was the fourth son of Genghis Khan.

I think it would be interesting to hear about the history of the Great Wagon Road. Not sure how much trading was done on that route, but it is a part of early American history.

I cant remember or find the Chinese word for it, but I have a faint memory of reading about young boys being castrated to preserve their singing voice. I think it was Chinese.

Big surprise was men offering up their wives. And considering it an honour. Slavery on the other hand is evil. Thank God women have rights now, not been traded like commodities.

FYI at 6. 10 you state that Kublai Khan was Genghiz Khan's son, this is not the case as Kublai was his grandson. Other than that another excellent video, thanks.

Hinduism never went to other parts of Asia? Really? Then how come Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and even Japan has Hindu Gods. This is wrong information.
