This sad video. There's no evidence of any kind that Polo got to China. Ever. I do understand: everyone wants to believe: I believed when I was young and hadn't read the sources. The farthest he got was present-day Afghanistan. And he was there for quite some time. And he heard all sorts of semi-true and totally fanciful stories. This is why his writings up to Afghanistan are pretty trustworthy, and why his writings (supposedly) after Afghanistan are like fairy tales. When are we just going to let this fiction die a quiet death?

I don't doubt anything said in this video, but I would really enjoy a list of sources, even if it may be filled with websites you need to pay for a subscription for or hard to get books or something similar. I'm doing a little project that I would most definitely love using the sources you used here for it as I think my project and this video overlap quite a bit.

Sometimes I wonder how it feels discovering new places, things, animals, and society without having any knowledge or pictures to be seen. That excitement of exploring new things from the past is probably the closest thing reality has from fantasies.

FUN FACT: The Travels of Marco Polo is called Il Milione (The Million) because Marco Polo traveled so many places he thought he traveled a million countries which was absurd at the time, and as a matter of fact only Rustichello believed him

That would be an awesome journey back then. To travel the known world and see all the amazing sights along the way. The only comparable thing I can think of the oriental express. I'd love to go back in time to see the ancient world.

I've watched a lot of your videos. The Origins of humans and their spread around the world would be an interesting video idea! I know it'll be hard work, but Sapiens from Yuval Noah Harari is a nice read to use as a source.

Why the voiceover change? Who are theses guys? What if you make a video introducing who you are & if are up for it, a face reveal. Though I say all this out of curiosity.

This whole marco polo journey is obviously made up written by some romance author. His peers knew that 800 years ago but somehow today people belive it, hilarious.

He also was the first to discover the North Sentinel Island people. He observed campfires on the island and the natives wearing masks.

I know a lot of people hated on the Netflix series Marco Polo but I thought it was incredible. Almost as good as GOT

Of course we can't find anything about the Chinese characters, because at that time they used Mongol writing system
