Re: CARAVANSARY
The silk road is usually discussed as the trade routes between China and the Meditteranean. But we know the trade we t deeper into Europe. The Russian nobility had no shortage of silk, as an example. Nor the French.
Anyone know whether there is any historical evidence of Vikings preying on the trade routes?

Re: CARAVANSARY
Norse traders got all the way to Constantinople...
And, of course, if the Rus were descendents of viking traders... But it's pretty much going to depend on the wax and wane of the silk trade and the arc of the vikings.

Can you imagine what that Viking was thinking when he (or she!) acquired the statuette?

A remarkable collection of religious items sourced from diverse lands was discovered during archaeological excavations on the Swedish island of Helgo. Located in Lake Malaren, to the west of Stockholm, this small island was an important Viking trading and manufacturing centre (6th-11th centuries AD). It has produced an enormous collection of artefacts, including numerous exotic finds such as Arabic coins, Frankish glass and metal-work from across western Europe.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary find discovered during the excavations at Helgo was a small, bronze Buddha. This devotional figure dates from circa the 6th century AD and was probably made in Kashmir, on the Pakistan/India border. The Buddha has a silver urna on his forehead, symbolizing the third eye, while the ears have long lobes, the insignia of royalty. He sits in a meditative pose upon a double lotus throne, the latter representing purity. The Buddha probably arrived in Helgo via Swedish merchants whose eastern trade routes were concentrated along Russian rivers such as the Volga.

The Souk email has just started going around the NYC community.
I thought it would be fun to make up obviously counterfeit Burning Man goods for "sale." 2015 Tickets where Burning Man is spelled wrong, etc.
But I'd need a barker.
