(Also, implying that goods from New York were being traded on the Silk Road is a huge stretch.)

- Robingoodfellow 2y agoIf you scroll all the way to the bottom of the article there is a gallery of items from the museum, along with detailed descriptions. I also don't find it all implausible that goods from New York made there way to this region in the 1920's. As the article mentions, although the connection point between Europe and East Asia was severed by the Ottomans, small sections of the trade network continued for centuries afterwards.
