Die Reise des Venezianers Marco Polo im 13. Jahrhundert
Summary
Marco Polo (ca. 1254-1324) stammte aus Venedig und bereiste mit Vater und Onkel den Orient. Die älteren Polos hatten vom mongolischen Großkhan den Auftrag erhalten, eine Botschaft des Papstes sowie Öl aus der Grabeskirche nach Peking zu bringen. Ihre Reise führte sie von Palästina (Akko, Jerusalem) über Stationen in Persien (Isfahan, Kerman) und die Seidenstraße (Samarkand) bis nach China und Japan. Polo berichtet so Wundersames, dass mancher Kritikus auf die Idee kam, die Reise habe nie (oder nicht so) stattgefunden. Marco Polos Ruhm hat das bis heute nicht geschadet.
