China y el Lejano Oriente en el relato de Benjamín de Tudela (siglo xii). Realidades y fantasías

🇪🇸 Benjamín de Tudela, un viajero judío del siglo XII, realizó un extenso recorrido entre 1165 y 1173, documentando en su obra Séfer Masa’ot (Libro de los Viajes) una gran cantidad de información sobre diversas culturas, religiones y geografías, desde Bagdad hasta lugares remotos de Asia Central, India, Tíbet y China. En su relato, destaca no solo la descripción de las rutas comerciales centroasiáticas y los centros de intercambio como Samarcanda, sino también la presencia de comunidades judías en Kaifeng (China) y las interacciones con otras culturas. Sin embargo, sus observaciones mezclan hechos reales y mitos, dando pie a la creación de fantasías sobre criaturas y lugares lejanos. La influencia de las rutas comerciales de los Radanitas, los mercaderes judíos que conectaban Europa y Asia, es crucial en sus relatos. A través de su obra, Benjamín contribuyó al conocimiento europeo sobre Oriente y dejó una huella significativa en la documentación histórica y cultural de su tiempo. Las descripciones sobre China y sus mitos, aunque muchas veces imprecisas, reflejan el asombro ante culturas distantes y misteriosas.

🇺🇸 Benjamin de Tudela, a 12th-century Jewish traveler, undertook an extensive journey between 1165 and 1173, documenting in his work Sefer Masa’ot (Book of Travels) a wealth of information about various cultures, religions, and geographies, from Baghdad to remote places in Central Asia, India, Tibet, and China. His account highlights not only the description of Central Asian trade routes and exchange hubs like Samarkand, but also the Jewish communities in Kaifeng (China) and interactions with other cultures. However, his observations blend real facts with myths, leading to the creation of fantasies about creatures and distant places. The influence of the Radhanite trade routes, Jewish merchants who connected Europe and Asia, is crucial in his narratives. Through his work, Benjamin contributed to European knowledge of the East and left a significant mark on the historical and cultural documentation of his time. His descriptions of China and its myths, though often inaccurate, reflect the awe towards distant and mysterious cultures.

Little Petra, Jordan, 674 by tango- Little Petra (Arabic: البتراء الصغيرة‎, al-batrā aṣ-ṣaġïra), also known as Siq al-Barid (Arabic: سيق البريد‎, literally "the cold canyon") is an archaeological site located north of Petra and the town of Wadi Musa in the Ma'an Governorate of Jordan. Like Petra, it is a Nabataean site, with buildings carved into the walls of the sandstone canyons. As its name suggests, it is much smaller, consisting of three wider open areas connected by a 450-metre (1,480 ft) canyon. It is part of the Petra Archeological Park, though accessed separately, and included in Petra's inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.. Like Petra, it was probably built during the height of Nabataean influence during the 1st century C.E. While the purpose of some of the buildings is not clear, archaeologists believe that the whole complex was a suburb of Petra, the Nabatean capital, meant to house visiting traders on the Silk Road. After the decline of the Nabataeans, it fell vacant, used only by Bedouin nomads, for centuries. Along with neighboring Beidha, Little Petra was excavated in the later 20th century by Diana Kirkbride and Brian Byrd. In 2010, a biclinium, or dining room, in one of the caves was discovered to have surviving interior art depicting grapes, vines and putti in great detail with a varied palette, probably in homage to the Greek god Dionysus and the consumption of wine. The 2,000-year-old ceiling frescoes in the Hellenistic style have since been restored. While they are not only the only known example of interior Nabataean figurative painting in situ, they are a very rare large-scale example of Hellenistic painting, considered superior even to similar later Roman paintings at Herculaneum. https://flic.kr/p/2kB1QvD
