Speaker: Javed Hashemi

Dr. Hashemi, a well-known local speaker who has addressed our u3a twice before, came yet again, this time to share with us his knowledge of the history of the silk routes.  These ancient routes have, for many centuries, brought goods and ideas from the Far East to the West, changing their routes over time, but still continuing up to the present day.

Javed illustrated his talk with many images including maps showing the changing routes.

A fascinating talk which members found very enlightening.
