Quick context and interesting facts
Asia has hosted some of the world’s earliest cities and writing systems, and it also saw long-distance exchange networks like the Silk Roads that moved goods, technologies, and ideas across continents.
Because many Asian states kept detailed court records, inscriptions, and chronicles, historians can often cross-check events using multiple sources—while still debating interpretations and biases in those records.
