Detailed Solution

The silk route was the ancient network path connecting China to middle and far eastern Europe.
Around 7000 years ago, China was where the earliest silk-making methods were developed. Although the processes were kept a well-guarded secret for ages, certain Chinese travellers who travelled to far-off places on foot, horses, and camels carried silk with them. They travelled on routes that became known as the Silk Route. Chinese emperors occasionally sent gifts of silk to the kings of Iran and western Asia, and from there, word of silk's existence travelled further west.
