(Airdate: December 3, 2024) We’re in Gansu Province in the town of Wuwei, visiting the tomb where China’s famous Bronze Horse was discovered in 1969. It’s no coincidence that such a beautiful piece of sculpture was buried here. The horse was the key to military operations on the Silk Road, and it turns out that the Wuwei area is still one of China’s major horse racing centers. The camel may have carried the bulk of merchandise, but the horse carried those who sought to maintain control of the road.
