The Silk Road, animated
Author’s claim. Posted before Fable 5.2 came out. The author called it Fable 5.5, the name rumors gave the next Fable. We can’t verify which model ran.
An animated piece of a little over two minutes about the Silk Road, the ancient trade routes linking China and the West.

Our note
In Chinese with English subtitles, this opens and closes on camel silhouettes against a desert sunset under "丝绸之路" (The Silk Road). Numbered chapters follow. An envoy leaves Chang'an in "138 B.C.", and a 凿空 ("Zaokong") card glosses the word as chiselling through the void. A route line grows past distance counters to "7,000" toward the Mediterranean. Trade icons send papermaking, tea, porcelain and silk west and grapes and alfalfa east, and the character 胡 links walnut, cucumber and carrot. Later cards cover the Mogao Caves, the "1877" naming of the route and a "2014" World Heritage listing. No prompt is public; the model credit is the author's.
