1 Best Historical Eras featuring Marco Polo

Categories

Marco Polo traveled the Silk Road to China and documented Asian cultures for European audiences. Marco Polo's journey to Asia (1271-1295) occurred during the height of the Mongol Empire when Kublai Khan's rule created unprecedented conditions for East-West travel and trade. His subsequent "Travels of Marco Polo" introduced Europeans to the sophisticated civilizations of China, Central Asia, and other eastern regions at a time when the Medieval period was giving way to early Renaissance thinking. Though some question aspects of his account, Polo's detailed descriptions of Asian technologies, customs, and wealth stimulated European interest in eastern trade routes and may have influenced later Age of Discovery explorers like Columbus who sought routes to these prosperous lands.
