Marco Polo was a merchant who traveled to mainly China and Mongolia. He got a lot of respect from the ruler of Mongolia, Kublai Khan, and recorded his travels in prison with Rustichello da Pisa.
He was born in a wealthy Venetian family in the year 1254, his father, Nicolo, was a merchant and his mother Nicole was a regular person.
What I was really curious about was when the guy was talking about Marco’s death and how a priest was standing over him in is deathbed and telling him to confess that his book of travels was mostly fiction.
But, he didn’t and said that he had only told a fration of his stories and which I think means that he only told a bit of it and there would be even more exciting and risky stories waiting to te revealed.
Overall I really enjoyed this video because it gave a lot of facts and details about Marco Polo’s birth, death, and his life.
