Imagine you are an important trader commissioned with transporting raw materials to your home region to serve a new ruler
What route (sea or land) would you take? What goods would you bring on that journey? What major intellectual or philosophical ideas would you discuss with this new monarch should you be invited for dinner?
Answers will vary but correct responses should include: The decision as to sea or land trade routes depended on the goods and time needed to move the materials. Long-range trade over land was small in scale and carried goods of high value and limited bulk through a series of markets and middlemen. Sea routes were faster and more economically sound and dealt in larger quantities than land routes. Discussion would revolve around the innovative thinking that made connections and contrasts between religion, morals, politics, reason, and science.
