So I've started my paper

[Hax]

And I've picked cultural and technological transmission over the Silk Route as my subject. I've divided it in 4 chapters:

Chapter I - The History of the Silk Route

1.1 - Early History
1.2 - The Kingdom of Baktria, the Indo-Greeks and tribes of the Sakae.
1.3 - The Qin and Han dynasties of China
1.4 - The Parthians and Sassanids
1.5 - The Islamic Caliphate
1.6 - Genghis Khan and the Mongolian Empire

Chapter II - Cultural transmission

2.1 - Buddhism on the Silk Route
2.2 - Scientifical advances

Chapter III - Technological advances

Chapter IV - The Decline of the Silk Route.

================================

Now, I come to plead for help, my orgah friends. Are there some things I really must include, are there any good sources of information you know, etc, etc. Even though this is for the last grade of high school, I'll try to get it as scientifical as possible.

Thank you, in advance
