My 1st prediction for this new series of #RaceAcrossTheWorld is many people will be turning subtitles on; Scouse & Norn Iron! I’m liking the #SilkRoad theme, though!

Tamara T. Chin, The Silk Road Idea: Ancient Contact in the Modern Human Sciences – University of Chicago Press, November 2026
[6/6] Penser les circulations anciennes contribue à comprendre la mondialisation actuelle. Les savoirs sur le passé redessinent la manière d’analyser les espaces, en insistant sur les réseaux, les flux et les interconnexions. #geography #globalhistory #networks #connections #silkroad
[1/6] Stuart Elden présente l’ouvrage de Tamara T. Chin (à paraître) qui analyse l’idée de "route de la soie" comme construction scientifique. Entre 1870 et 1970, les chercheurs redéfinissent les contacts anciens à l’échelle afro-eurasienne. #geography #globalhistory #networks #connections #silkroad
The #Cirebonshipwreck is a late 9th to 10th-century shipwreck discovered in 2003, in the #JavaSea offshore of Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. The shipwreck contains a large amount of Chinese Yue ware, and is notable as important marine archaeology evidence of the Maritime #SilkRoad trading activity in Maritime Southeast Asia.[1]

A landscape photograph taken from a high vantage point, looking across a wide mountain valley at the ancient Orbelian (Selim) Caravanserai in Armenia. The stone caravanserai building, with its distinctive rust-colored corbelled roof, is in the mid-foreground on the right, built into the side of a grassy hill. It is composed of weather-beaten, textured stone blocks, and a small, loose stone wall is in the foreground nearby. To the left of the building, a dirt track and a few small structures are visible. A winding road is carved into the side of the larger hill that rises steeply behind the caravanserai. In the distance, a massive range of mountains dominates the horizon, their high peaks covered in snow. Above it all is a heavy, dramatic sky filled with dark, textured rain clouds, creating a somber yet epic atmosphere. The lighting is diffused and moody, with a touch of highlight on the peaks and the building.

In the tea fields of Munnar, India
Tamil woman working in Munnar
After visiting #TamilNadu, I headed to #Munnar, where I spent a few days exploring the surrounding area.
I really liked it, in some ways it reminded me of Sri Lanka, with its endless tea plantations and many Tamil workers in the fields.

We are an undereducated society.
As U.S. & Israel DESTROY the #CradleOfCivilization, its people, & the archaeological history of humanity, it’s disturbing how INCURIOUS Americans are about our shared past.
Take the #SilkRoad. In China, it was known as the #GlassRoad b/c of coveted #PersianGlass.

After #SriLanka I landed in #Chennai, #India. And I’m glad I was in Colombo before. It made the transition much softer. Thanks to that, I didn't experience the famous "culture shock" that everyone talks about.
But Chennai hits hard. #silkroad #travelblogger
Lmao! There's a reason the #SilkRoad went AROUND the #MiddleEast afterall...
But I LOVE this for him to my bones
Especially that bit at the end!

Again from #Dambulla, my next stop was #Polonnaruwa, one of Sri Lanka’s ancient capitals. And this time, it really clicked. Unlike #Anuradhapura, this place immediately felt more immersive and atmospheric.

It's old news, but early in Trump's second term he pardoned #SilkRoad founder Ross Ulbricht. Silk Road was a hub where illegal drugs were bought and sold. Ulbricht designed the site to conceal the identity of its users. #DonaldTrump #RossUlbricht #PresidentialPardon www.thestreet.com/personalitie...
