Furthermore , communication also supported cross-cultural interaction : on the Silk Road , for example , the ancient Persian Empire played a pivotal role as a consumer of Chinese porcelain , vendor of finished silk products , and central hub where multilingual merchants of various ethnicities conducted business , resulting in cultural diffusion across the Afro-Eurasian landmass .
Our continuation of the ancient cultures ’ legacy in communication is seen in modern globalization : today , countries from the farthest corners of the world unite to trade goods , enact international policies , and explore the bounds of our universe .
