The Silk Roads are the symbol of the interconnectedness of ancient Eurasian civilizations. Using challenging land and maritime routes, merchants and adventurers, diplomats and missionaries, sailors and soldiers, and camels, horses and ships, carried their commodities, ideas, languages and pathogens enormous distances across Eurasia. The result was an underlying unity that traveled the length of the routes, and which is preserved to this day, expressed in common technologies, artistic styles, cultures and religions, and even disease and immunity patterns. In words and images, Craig Benjamin explores the processes that allowed for the comingling of so many goods, ideas, and diseases around a geographical hub deep in central Eurasia. He argues that the first Silk Roads era was the catalyst for an extraordinary increase in the complexity of human relationships and collective learning, a complexity that helped drive our species inexorably along a path towards modernity.

Le livre étudie les connexions repérables et les comparaisons possibles entre les sociétés de l'Eurasie, autour de l'an 1000, afin de percevoir les caractères originaux de chacune au sein de solidarités planétaires. Les historiens spécialistes de domaines très différents: le Japon, les mondes chinois et steppique, indien et musulman, l'empire byzantin, l'Occident chrétien, réunis aux Treilles en 2018 ont observé que la tendance globale au développement de cette période s'accompagne d'une diversification remarquable des cultures. En une démarche de critique constructive de la World History ou Global History, ils ont pu envisager les facteurs communs ayant stimulé la croissance dans divers "mondes" de l'Eurasie (ainsi les changements climatiques) ou ne l'ayant pas autant entravé que ne le croyaient les historiens d'antan (invasions ou infiltrations de peuples guerriers, "barbares"), sans oublier les liens tissés à la fois par des échanges commerciaux et par des religions universalistes.

This book provides an overview of Bronze Age societies of Western Eurasia through an investigation of the archaeological record. The Making of Bronze Age Eurasia outlines the long-term processes and patterns of interaction that link these groups together in a shared historical trajectory of development. Interactions took the form of the exchange of raw materials and finished goods, the spread and sharing of technologies, and the movements of peoples from one region to another. Kohl reconstructs economic activities from subsistence practices to the production and exchange of metals and other materials. Kohl also argues forcefully that the main task of the archaeologist should be to write culture-history on a spatially and temporally grand scale in an effort to detect large, macrohistorical processes of interaction and shared development.
