Silk originated from China. It is spun around cocoons of mulberry tree-eating worms. The Chinese used silk as fishing line to buy off nomadic raiders to keep things peaceful and write before paper was invented and was mostly used for clothes. Silk was such a desired good for trade and exchange because a share of China's wealth came from silk production.
Trade along the Silk Road was an advantage to nomads since they are always moving around,they were able to trade,which makes them good traders. Travel also made nomads more resistant to diseases.
The Kushan Empire was created when a group of nomads,Yuezhi, humiliated in battle in 2nd century BCE by their rivals, Xionagnu. The Xionagnu turned Yuezhi king's skull into a drinking cup.
