When someone comes up with explorer, most people think of Neil Armstrong, Christopher Columbus or James Cook. I feel that Marco Polo is actually very underrated. He was the one who been to Asia and he told the truth about everything he saw.
When Marco went to Asia with his uncle and dad, he saw huge diamonds and great wealth. The buildings were a lot more modern then all of Europe. It had working sanitary systems. The toilets in Europe were basically buckets of pots. Also, he saw hundreds of horse and in the end, wrote a book. The travels of Marco Polo was his book. He described so many things, like the whistling sands or dog people. The people of Europe were mad, because they thought they were the best place. Many people disbelieve him because of that. After lots of research, today’s scientist say he was correct.
This is why I think Marco Polo is the best.
