How long would it take for a person to travel from Greece to China in the 5th century BCE?
By walking maybe 15 km a day on average (a full day's work for a modern subsistence farmer), around 3 years by foot. Obviously this is way easier with any amount of vehicles. Someone in a chariot could hypothetically travel something like 100km a day and make the trip in 4-6 months. This, of course, all relies on someone having a ton of resources including knowledge of roads.
