Artefact 11: Paiza

This primary
source dates all the way back to approximately the 13^th century. This
particular source is called a paiza
or paizi which is a metal plate serving as a passport. This was made for
travellers to pass by safely through the land, issued by the Mongols. From this
source, we can gather that can be of great value to an individual. We know this
is a passport as it grants safe passage when travelling. You would not want to
get caught without one. We learn of type of system Mongolians used for their
travels, that you could not come and go as you feel to do so. As well as the
symbols on the paiza, having some sort of significance. This source is not
biased, as there is nothing to contrast it too. I’m sure every civilisation
would have some sort of document or passport for travelling. It is a
trustworthy source as we know it is of Mongolian background, and used for
travels. I believe there is nothing untrustworthy about it.

Artefact 12: Trade on the Silk Road

It is
unknown of this source’s origin, date and creator. What we can see from the
source is that it shows many different nations all gathered to trade all sorts
of things with one another. We also noticed the different modes of transport
made by each nation. This is how the Silk Road was, travellers of all kinds to
trade their goods for others, which is clearly made evident in this source. We
see the diversity when trading along the Silk Road. We can learn about what
types of goods were traded. Yes, it does only give one side of the story, the
more happier side of trade. What happens if there are arguments? Someone
accused of stealing? We only see good aspects of the Silk Road in this source.
It seems more untrustworthy than trustworthy as we do not know the date it was
made, the creator or where it came from.
