Hi I am from Africa. My name is Isra. I come from the Ghana/Mali empire.
Items we trade are gold, ivory, slaves, salt, metal beads, etc. We would travel in caravans mostly since they were more safe to bandits, and other hurdles.
So since we're from different places and we both trade. What items do you trade and how do you travel to the places to trade.
Nice to meet you Elga.
What is your name?
A Trip to Africa!
What items do you trade and how do you travel to the places to trade.
My name is Elga. I am from one of the countires with routes connected to the Silk Road.
We would travel in wagons, and mostly camels too, it was the main favored transportation.
Some items that we trade are gold, silk, silver. jade, porcelain, glass, etc.
It's nice to meet you too.
Wow! We also use camels too, it is also the main transportation.
In Africa, many major trade routes crossed the Sahara Desert in between Western/Central Africa.
Wow I had no idea the Silk Road was so long.
Since Africa is built on a gold mine, we have a lot of gold.
Yea, it is!
So what item is most liked in China?
So what item is mostly valued in Africa!
Wow! I mean since the Sahara Desert is so vast, so it must be a long route?
Wow, I never knew that!
In Rome silk from China is vauled a lot.
In China, the glass from Rome is highly prized and valued
Cool!
Now, that we know each, do you want to be friends!
Is it because you're from the Silk Road. *Laughs Ok, ok! I have one! Where can Africans trade gold!
What is your favorite fabric?
Hey, I know we just met but like, do you want to be best friends?
