Zhang Qian (c. 200-114 BCE) endures among the great of East Asia (China). Chinese diplomat and explorer whose travels opened trade routes later known as the Silk Road. Across the ancient age, this life and its works passed into the shared inheritance of humankind — kept here so the memory is never lost. Honored among the Great Ones of every civilization. Africa is the cradle of humankind; in the deepest sense, these are everyone’s ancestors — and so this name is kept, from the cradle of humanity to all its children.
