Re: TV: What Are You Watching?
Just finished a third newer DVD set about The Silk Road, the ancient Asian trade route from Rome to China. On the new one, there is a tower statue on the Western border of China showing a Roman Legionary exchanging the hand over fist Kung Fu salutes with a Chinese soldier! (and therein lies a tale; see The Lost Legions of Crassus).

The Silk Road: An Ancient World of Adventure (NHK Japan/China/Central Park Media) 3 disks/ 10 1/2 hours. 1980 (DVDs 2000) Music by Kitaro. Also available on youtube.

The Silk Road (Globe Trekker) 1 disk/2 hours 2013 Available from PBS.

The Silk Road: The Complete Story (Questar) 2 disk/6+ hours 2017 Available from PBS or on Amazon Prime.
