10. Group One Marco Polo Members Topics 08:16 AM 8/15/2024 Introduction Marco Polo, a Venetian merchant and explorer, is renowned for his extensive travels across Asia during the 13th century. Born in 1254, he embarked on a journey with his father and uncle that would lead him through the vast and exotic lands of the Mongol Empire, including China, where he served at the court of Kublai Khan. His detailed accounts of these travels, documented in "The Travels of Marco Polo," provided Europe with some of the first comprehensive insights into the cultures, economies, and geographies of the East, sparking a lasting fascination and paving the way for future explorations.
