MAPPING THE SILK ROAD: The Riddle of Ptolemy's Stone Tower
Uncovers the long-mystery location of the Stone Tower, the Silk Road's ancient midpoint, and explores its historical, cultural, and trade significance. Explores the search for the Stone Tower and its significance in ancient geography, cartography, and trade. The book is divided into three sections: the origins of the Silk Road, the historical forces that led to the tower's prominence, and the precise identification of its location. Demonstrates why text alone is insufficient to pinpoint the site and introduces four key criteria that the location would have logically needed to satisfy for it to have become such a prominent meeting place and caravanserai. Sheds new light on Silk Road history, offering fresh perspectives on trade, geography, and the civilizations that shaped this vital network of commerce and cultural exchange. Contains 24 black and white photos.1 vol, 224 pgs 2025 US, CASEMATE
