Marco Polo Merch
Description: Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer who travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295. His travels are recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo, 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, giving Europeans their first comprehensive look into China, Persia, India, Japan, and other Asian societies.
Description: “The Caravan” The chilled nights in the mountains, the days spent in the high heat the desert, and staying strong and alert during a seemingly endless trek in the brutal climates. Marco Polo’s company traverses the landscape, with its line of people, animal, carts and goods trailing into the horizon. This is the caravan. Marco Polo’s band spends months advancing across the terrain, always on the lookout for dangers, whatever form they may take.
