Discussion. 
Achievement of cultural spread through contacts through trade, 
conquest resettlement. Entire cultural layers were transplanted onto fertile soil and a 
new cycle of development began here. The main role in this process was played by the 
Great Silk Road linking the West and the East. Caravan trade on the Great Silk Road, 
in addition to its commercial function, also carried out a huge cultural mission. News 
from all parts of the world came with caravans, new books, knowledge, goods, 
materials and tolls came.

Conclusion.
The history of the legendary Silk Road is full of mysteries. Ancient 
civilizations arose and disappeared here, new ethnic groups were born and entire 
peoples perished as a result of invasions of invaders. Unknown masters created 
priceless cultural monuments, famous travelers made amazing discoveries. The 
emergence of trade relations was largely facilitated by the development in the 
mountains of Central Asia of deposits of semi-precious stones lapis lazuli, jade, 
carnelian, turquoise. The development of trade contributed not only to the region and 
its external relations, but was also closely connected with the development of its 
cultural, spiritual and moral spheres. The Great Silk Road is a truly amazing route, 
which has become the greatest achievement of ancient civilizations. The name itself 
already obliges a lot, because this is an epoch-making space, historically spanning 
many centuries, states, countries. The Great Silk Road did the seemingly impossible – 
it turned geographically insurmountable spaces, sometimes reaching a length of six 
thousand kilometers, into surmountable and even traditional occupations of diplomats, 
merchants, philosophers and merchants, politicians and musicians.
