Peter Frankopan: The Silk Roads. A New History of the World

[@ahmed_akinci]

Really enjoyed it

[@philmathieu1017]

That's why I love teaching the International Baccalaureate where the global origins of knowledge and critical thinking are embedded in the syllabus.

[@chriswalsh7028]

This is a great talk. The history I remember being taught was the Battle of Hastings (they really made a big deal about it), Henry VIII, and of course WW2. I would have been much more interested in history if the school subject wasn't so Western Europe and British centric...

[@PaulHattle]

The Battle of Hastings changed the course of the world. It really was a big deal.

Reading his book right now and it is more enlightening than all my years of history classes in the us

[@beateerdmann4769]

Same for Germany: I feel like I learnt nothing at school - although of course I know I did...

Rhythms of conflict without the tempo of trade/culture is misleading. Mass murder in America's without an explanation involving disease's as the vast majority of deaths is factually wrong.Educators should all travel in their early years before developing confirmation bias. Another Fredrick Niche acolyte, echoing egotistical buzzwords unwittingly promoting global conflict. A wider historical view is always good but conclusion jumping based on current events is intellectually questionable.Whats more, it should be self-explanatory that the natural tendency of some Britons is to get stuck in the study of "The rise and fall of Empires" simply reverse linking historical mini bytes. Your publisher has a serious ego or questionable marketing skills involved in trying to hype a market (Your books Title) that has more of a conflictual history than the West combined. Nice guy but not an authority..

[@gabrielsz6919]

I haven't understood a single one of your comments, not one. Nor have I understood what exactly it is you are trying to defend other than trying to state you don't like what this guy says.

[@sieuminh]

meanwhile, back to reality ....

Very weak book. I'm very disappointed by his lack of information about Afghanistan and persia. There is not a single evidence about the existence of persian empire in persian history books and scripts. Persian empire has never ruled in Afghanistan. The other fact the today's persian language stammes from Afghanistan or the old Khorasan and Iran has always been part of Khorasan (Afghanistan) except the two dynasties (sasanid and safavid). Safavid is where iran got like indipendent after the fall of last great Khorasan empire, (Timurid Herat). Persian language stammes from cities of Herat (Aria) and Balkh (Bactria). As an Afghan I'm very disappointed about the fact that Iranians have brainwashed the world and also the less effort the world has put to find out what the truth is.

Would you be kind enough to do that for us?
