Did Marco Polo, the most illustrious traveler in history, ever go to China? A dispute lingers to this day; with some scholars still doubting whether the Venetian’s book is a genuine personal account of China’s 13th-century Middle Kingdom and its marvels. Scientists, western scholars, and Chinese historians have uncovered striking new proof that the son of Venetian merchants actually had been in China. This is a journey of opulent vistas, re-enacting Marco Polo’s experiences in 13th-century China and sheds light on the pivotal role, played by an obscure writer of chivalric novels, in producing the manuscript of the Travels of Marco Polo.

    As he said he only told half of what he saw. I’ve lived in China and I can relate. It’s so amazing

    Great stuff. MP was a hero to me when I was a kid. The accounts of the court of Kublai Khan were so dazzling that I doubted they could be true. Once I saw the treasures of Egypt, and Topkapi palace in Istanbul, and other wondrous things and places, I became more inclined to believe the traveler's stories.

    Excellent documentary, TY. It shows very clearly that Marco Polo's journey is not just plausible but almost impossible to reject anymore. One wonders how many people, not just in Italy but also elsewhere is now descendant from that traveler gentleman.

    Ibn Battuta was a famous Moroccan traveler who lived nearly a century after Marco Polo but traveled 3 times the distance that Marco Polo did and left detailed accounts of his perigrinations.However, as with the Polos,some historians doubt that all the accounts are by Ibn Battuta and that 2/3 others were involved and all the travels were later attributed to one person.Battuta,aged about 21 went on the Mecca hajj but then decided to continue on and on and wandered for about 18 years that took him to China,India,Indonesia and deep down into Africa.

    It’s my belief that the researchers who look to discredit MP claims are simply living off the good graces of tax payers, continuously nit picking for the minutest inconsistencies of an account written over 700 years that have been translated and amended too numerous times to count. So long as they can create doubts they can keep their jobs. Read Laurence Bergreen’s book “Marco Polo, From Venice to Xanadu”, for a fair and balanced account of MP’s travels.

    A time when exploration was an adventure of magnificence and mystery.

    Mandeville, Ruysbroeck, Odoric of Pordenone, Ibn Battuta. Several Middle Agers traveled to the Far East. Why doubt the story of Marco Polo?
