A history of globalisation on horseback

Quick Summary:

But, just as the secrets of Chinese silk technology eventually filtered westward, Native Americans got their horses.

That’s how horses finally made their way back to North America — with Spanish conquistadors who used them to defeat the Aztec and Inca empires.

The first is a replica of a glass bauble from 6th century Iran that somehow made it to the court of Japan’s Emperor Shomu, a journey of thousands of miles through deserts and mountains or perilous seas.(The original remains in an 8th century storehouse in the city of Nara).
