"14th century A.D.:

Better ships and new sea routes now offer more efficient and safer trading by sea than by land. Compared to the new shipping routes, overland trade on the Silk Road is longer, harder, and more expensive, especially with competing political groups taking control of different portions of the route.

Gradually, the Silk Road's lively trading towns fall into disuse. Ravaged by the Taklimakan Desert's brutal sandstorms, the towns disappear under drifting sand dunes. And, as a final blow, Europeans have now learned the art of producing silk."
