Folks , think about it...all of the world's oldest civilisations arose along this prehistoric Silk Route...the Rig Veda even had a name for this road "Uttarpath" , or the Northern Path .
Since the Silk Route is over 50,000 years old and was used by the first humans from Africa to cross the Eurasian Continent , we can be certain that human language & concept of religion also first arose along the prehistoric Silk route , where humans once crossed paths even with the Neanderthal & Denisovan sub species .
