In this book, we explore the diverse pantheon of gods and goddesses worshipped along the Silk Road, shedding light on their significance, symbolism, and enduring legacy in the cultures of the ancient world. The Silk Road, spanning over 6,000 kilometers and connecting the East and West, facilitated not only the exchange of goods but also the transmission of cultures, ideas, and religious beliefs. Along this ancient network of trade routes, a diverse array of gods and goddesses were worshipped by the people of various cultures, reflecting the syncretic nature of religious practices and the rich tapestry of beliefs that characterized the Silk Road civilizations.
