That's a cool article. I knew about these folks, but really only as boring names in a history book. This adds a lot more color to their story.

There's some pictures here - https://sogdians.si.edu/sidebars/the-castle-on-mount-mugh-an...

It's interesting to think that these documents were written long before paper even arrived in Europe.

Incidentally we still have "Silk Road" today. In its modern usage it refers particularly to some oil and gas pipelines running from the east to the west.

In the latest news on the Silk Road, Azerbaijan, after its victorious war over Armenia, secured a direct land transport corridor through Armenian territory to its enclave of Nakhchivan and further to Turkey. https://menafn.com/1101103191/Another-important-issue-is-tha...
