Historical Importance of Salt and How it Shaped Civilisations
Description
One of the world’s greatest explorers and adventurers was Marco Polo, who travelled extensively throughout China and Southeast Asia before returning to Venice around 1291 with a hoard of beautiful items never before seen. Things like silk, paper money, gunpowder and porcelain – and salt! Surprisingly, the people of Venice enthusiastically embraced the salt trade, leading to great prosperity for the city of canals. Join us as we travel the world to discover not just the importance of salt and its impact throughout history but what it means to be the 'salt of the earth'! 📚 *The free booklet to this episode "The Beatitudes – Wise Words of Jesus":* 📚 https://tij.tv/offers/the-beatitudes-wise-words-of-jesus/ 💿 *Similar Topics:* 💿 The Mystery of the Silver Scrolls https://youtu.be/UTrNyT6KeNw The Dead Sea Scrolls https://youtu.be/fZ4kvsWo0EM Rosetta: The Mystery of the Rosetta Stone https://youtu.be/TlwgwrgU4dI The Wonders of Ancient Egypt https://youtu.be/r4FSySax_oQ https://tij.tv/playlist/archaeology Blessed are the Persecuted: Dietrich Bonhoeffer https://youtu.be/ztL5RXtEZBE Blessed Are the Peacemakers: Leo Tolstoy https://youtu.be/CmW_4ZLxPes Blessed are those who Mourn: Horatio Spafford https://youtu.be/eg-jlVenS7s Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness: Martin Luther https://youtu.be/uKLdXaLVPcc Blessed are the Merciful: Fighter Pilots https://youtu.be/zNpuUYQonsY Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit: Eleanor Roosevelt https://youtu.be/kVGIrSBhMGk 🇦🇺 *About the Ministry* 🇦🇺 *The Incredible Journey* is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.
