Aurel Stein: pioneer of the Silk Road

Article Abstract:

Determination, energy, thoroughness, and negotiation skills enabled Aurel Stein to undertake several archaeological expeditions to Chinese Turkestan, and to establish the existence of long lost civilizations along the Silk Route. He is mostly remembered for three important expeditions to the deserts of Sinkiang. His pioneering efforts unraveled the way in which the Graeco-Buddhist culture of north-west India spread to China through the Silk Route. He was born into a Jewish family of Budapest in 1862. After his education at Oxford and Cambridge, Stein spent most of his life in India from 1887.
