The Silk Road changed over time in various ways. One significant change was that it evolved into the Indian Ocean and trans-Saharan trade routes. As trade routes shifted and expanded, the Silk Road transformed to accommodate these new routes and destinations. Additionally, the Silk Road was influenced by changing political borders and power structures. As different empires rose and fell, the control and influence over the Silk Road shifted accordingly. Therefore, the notion that the Silk Road never changed and always remained under the control of the Mongol Empire is incorrect.
