The Maritime Silk Road or Maritime Silk Route is the maritime section of the historic Silk Road that connected China, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian Peninsula, Somalia, Egypt and Europe. It began by the 2nd century BCE and flourished later on until the 15th century CE.[1] Major players in the Maritime Silk Road include the merchants from the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties of imperial China,[2] Austronesian sailors in Southeast Asia,[3]: 11 Tamil merchants in India and Southeast Asia,[3]: 13 and Persian and Arab traders in the Arabian Sea and beyond.[3]: 13 The network followed the footsteps of older maritime networks in Southeast Asia,[4][5][6][7] as well as the maritime spice networks of Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka, India, and the Indian Ocean, coinciding with these ancient maritime trade roads by the current era.[8][9]
