Özet:

Humanity's interaction with silk goes back as far as five thousand years. Seri culture is an occupation that has been inherited for generations and requires a great deal of experience and knowledge. Although it does not attract attention, it is interesting that the areas where sericulture spread are the cities where Turkish communities lived and spread throughout history. On the other hand, the paradigms related to the beginning of the Silk Road and the emergence of systematic trade are also inadequate. Silk Road studies point to skilled cavalry nomads organizing trade. However, the horse nomads of the steppe are almost lost players of the Silk Road. In fact, the route; It was passing through the lands of numerous Turkish communities, who were the de facto owners of Central Asia. The Turks had a good background for trade, which they inherited from their ancestors. The taxation of settled cultures eventually gave birth to the Silk Road trade. The silk trade for horses initiated with China made the Turks the richest nomads of Central Asia ever. Despite these, the least known actor in the adventure of silk is the Turks.
