What experiences have you had on the Silk Road? Share your photos with us and @outofedenwalk using #NGSilkRoad // The Silk Road has conveyed millennia of travelers to global fame: Alexander the Great, Marco Polo the entrepreneur, and the tireless Muslim chronicler Ibn Battuta, among many others. Yet the world’s greatest feats of exploration are often accomplished anonymously. Hunters, refugees, fishermen, soldiers, traders—these are the wandering souls who first tiptoe beyond the edges of maps. Time erases their names. // Photo by Paul Salopek, from a new dispatch from #Uzbekistan, tracing the footsteps of a 19th-century explorer #NGTUK #ngtnomad #instatravel #travelgram #travelphotography (at Uzbekistan)
