Marco Polo
Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant who lived from 1254 to 1324. He was an explorer and writer who most famously travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295. His travels are recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo (also known as Book of the Marvels of the World and Il Milione, c. 1300), a book that described the then-mysterious culture and inner workings of the Eastern world, including the wealth and great size of the Mongol Empire and China under the Yuan dynasty. Marco Polo's experience and writings provided Europeans with their first comprehensive look into Chinese, Persian, Indian, Japanese and other Asian societies.
