(4)Asia and Europe
The Silk Road began in China and ran westward through Asia ending in the Anatolia Peninsula.
The Silk Road was a trading route which brought Asian goods westward to Constantinople. The road began in Hangzhou and Guangzhou, both port cities in China. The road forked north and south going into the Indian peninsula and through the Persian Empire.
All these countries and the Andes themselves are extremely

salt, lithium, ore, precious metals like gold to name the few. Unfortunately,
due to unstable political situation in these countries and poor working
conditions its hard to reach all of this natural wealth.
