Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Silk routes were known to exist before the Christian period started, in the second century BCE, but not until the start of it. The term "silk route" alludes to a network of silk routes that crossed large areas of Asia by land or sea and linked the three continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe. The Chinese silk products that were the main trade cargo across these channels gave rise to the name "silk routes." In addition to silk, textiles, spices, and Chinese porcelain came from India and Southeast Asia. These routes were a thriving pre-modern conduit for trade and cultural exchange until the Ottoman Empire blocked them off in the 15th century.
