As many as 221 cities in what now are some 10 countries are on the map. key places on the ancient Silk Road included Gansu province’s Dunhuang, Mecca, Damascus, Esfahan in Iran and Samarqand in Uzbekistan.

Lin said it’s a pity that one-fourth of the original drawing, showing the route from Mecca to Istanbul, was lost, based on a modeling board for this map he found in historical records. “Maybe that part was cut off by some antique trader to sell separately,” he said.
