The Silk Road has played a tremendously important role in the history of mankind. For centuries it was this road that linked east to west and served to merge the economic, cultural and political traditions among the peoples living along this long route. The Silk Road Project, retracing the ancient Silk Road with a camel caravan, realized by partition of Arif Asçi, Necat Nazaroglu and Murat Özbey lasted a full two years. As you'll read The Last Caravan on the Silk Road, you'll see the close cultural relationships between the nations along this road and recognize the tremendous role the Silk Road played in carrying and disseminating man's cultural inheritance. The photographs by the famous photographer Arif Asçi, published in the book will shed light on our shared cultural inheritance and they will carry our past to all coming generations in the future. Today's deep interest in this ancient road is based on the tremendous role it played in carrying and disseminating man's cultural inheritance.
