There is no map attached however this should be the correct answer.
The Silk Road was not one road but a series of connected roads that acted as a conduit to transport goods to and from China, most of Asia, Arabia, Southern Europe and East Africa.
Called the Silk Road because Chinese Silk was the main trade item at some point, the trade that this road allowed gave rise to increasing economic and living standards as well as an exchange of ideas such as religion, military inventions like gunpowder and sciences. Even diseases passed alone this route (bubonic plague).
