I was surprised that traders traded ideas, religion, and beliefs.

I was very surprised that the Arabian peninsula did as much trading as Constantinople, because they are two completely different places!

I was surprised that they used to trade valuable and expensive goods. Not only did they trade items but they spread religion and beliefs.

I learned that religion was a big part of life during this time. Either by sharing you're beliefs, or opinions. It is amazing how one religion can spread across the world and become a known and important religion

I talked about the Arabian peninsula traded many important items as... silk, jewelry, cotton and spices.

I noticed that the Arabian Peninsula was sort of like Constantinople because trade from Africa and Asia passed through it
