Hi friends,
Today I will tell you the story of a strange world famous traveler.........................
Marco Polo is an inspiration for the world's famous tourist catalog. One-third of the world who won on foot The book written on Marco's tourism, which started at the age of just 17, is not only known about his long 24-year experience, but also history and even geographical conceptions from medieval social order. He was one of the people who reached the country through the Western Cross of Silk Road.
It is also believed that the inspiration of Marco Polo's adventurous life is behind Christopher Columbus's victory in America.
CHILDHOOD:
Marco Polo was born on September 15, 1254, in Venice, Italy. Father Nicolò Polo, and mother's name is Nicolai Anna Diffuse. Dad was a wealthy businessman and traveler. Marco Polo's father went to the Middle East and earned a lot of wealth. Nicolos and his brother Mafia leave for Marico before the birth of Marko. Marco died a little while his mother During this time, he grew up under the guidance of uncle and aunt and took education from them.
FIRST MEETING WITH FATHER:
At the age of fifteen, Marco was first seen with his father because his father and uncle could not return to business in Constantinople. Pub merchants came and met the merchants of the West in this city. When Marco Polo's father and uncle were so far away, the intense war started in the city of Genoa alongside Venice. Sea travel was not safe at all. Instead of going home, decided to go further away. They traveled thousands of miles to ship once they reached China. At that time China was a lucrative country for Europeans. Especially for spices and silk businesses. In the greed of profitable products like silk and spices, essentially European merchants went to China with the risk of life. Marco Polo was the father and uncle too. Nicola and Mafia returned home in March 1269 to see Marco Polo for the first time. Two of them came back and told everyone about their long live life. They also said that they were the guests of the famous Kublai Khan in China. Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan then the ruler of China.
Kublai Khan was not only powerful and powerful in the Chinese region, but his knowledge was also deep. There was a great interest in learning about the outside world. Knowing about Europe's civilization and culture from Marco Polo's parents and uncle, Kublai Khan grew very interested in Christianity in the region. He entrusted the responsibility of sending two brothers to Europe to send a letter to Europe's Pope, where he sent a hundred educated priests from Europe. But on the way back to the world, they learned that Pope had died. There is nothing to do until the new Pope is elected. Meanwhile, Polo's brothers screamed while sitting in Venice. After two years passed, the Pope was not elected, and once again decided to go to China with a remote route. But now the couple is seventeen-year-old Marco Polo, who has joined them as a traveling companion.
TWENTYFOUR-YEAR TRAVEL EXPERIENCE:
Starting in 1271 Marco Polo's World Expedition He traveled for three and a half years and later placed on the list of the world's best tourists. From Venice, they reached the Mediterranean via the Adriatic Sea, at the port of Akur. This port is near Jerusalem in Jerusalem. There he met a priest named Teabaldo. But because Pope was not elected he could not help. However, coming to Jerusalem, they got the opportunity to save another request from Kublai Khan.
Two brothers of the famous lamps in the Church of Jerusalem in the Saplakkal near Kublai Khan They said, the lamps have been continuously burning for thousand years. Kublai Khan had requested to bring the oil of lamps. After getting the opportunity, Nicolò and Mafia went to the Church of Saplak with Polo Marco. He returned to the pan with the oil of the lamp. But there is still no news about the new Pope. Teobaldo did a favor to Pollo. Writing a letter to Kublai Khan, Paulo brothers did not return to the priest because of their failure. Marco Polo left with oil and letters in the way of Ayes. China will go from there to the country. There he went to the news and received the new Pope Gregory Tenth. And coincidentally TeoBaldo has been elected as a Pope. So they went back to him. Pope gave many gifts to the emperor, but instead of a hundred priests, some monks of two Maths sent him. The small group of five went on to leave for Armenia and then to China. Meanwhile, Armenia is the battleground. Fear of the monks fled, but did not retreat Palolora
They started their hard-hitting long journey. There was no mechanical vehicle on the land. Sometimes they walk on foot, riding on mules, or riding on camels. The night began to spend open under the sky. This is the first time the experience of suffering for Marko. But Marco tried to enjoy it from a positive outlook. All the travel experiences were carefully kept. Marco wrote a description of a strange place, where there is a fountain of oil there. The oil flowing out of the ground is like a fountain. Day and night are constantly falling. Not oil, fuel oil. People come from far away to take the oil. The weird place is now known as the famous Baku oilfield. The oil field is meeting the huge demand of fuel and fuel oils worldwide.
Marco Polo
He also learned from the people of one area that the famous boat of Prophet Noah (peace be upon him) is still stuck in Mount Ararat, a mountain peak. After the flood, the boat stopped there. He used to keep notes of various stories he had heard. Later they were included in his travelogue.
Let's return to the three Poles Touring tour again. They left for the shores of the Persian Gulf. On the ship, India will go to China and go to China. If you go by the water, you will not have to go through the dangerous Gobi Desert. The road was very bad in that era. After that, he started walking about 20 miles a day. In this long walk, they show the famous city of Baghdad. Marco describes Baghdad as the biggest and glorious city in the region. After the trip to Baghdad, they left for the city of Kerman. At that time, a group merchant merged with slaves and guard with them. In those days, there was a lot of robbery in the region. The fear was not left because of a big party. Marcor has a more varied experience in this year's tour. Sometimes the mountainous mountains have to go down, sometimes the foggy sand is rotten.
There are two ways to go to China. Either go on the north side of Afghanistan or reach the southern direction in Hormoz. The port at the end of the Persian Gulf. They initially took the path of Hormuz. But the hurdles bound in the middle of Hormuz They were once in the face of the bandit attacks. From there, he ran away from a lot of trouble. A few days later, Marco reached Hormuz with parents and uncle. There was no trouble in the way. But to get frustrated at the port. There is no suitable navigable ship available in India. No one is suited for long travel. Nicola thought that it was safe to go back to the boat rather than going to the boat with such a risk, and on the other hand (in the nineteenth century this road became known as the Silk Road). Marco was most pleased to be able to leave Hormuz He was feeling very uneasy in the summer. A 200-mile journey back to Karman was a mixed experience. Finally, when Karman safely reached safely, they made the necessary preparations to go to the high level Pamir plateau known as 'Roof of the Earth' by the city of Bakhl. They are very surprised at some of the tour. No bird was seen in the plateau. There were no people. On the way there was a lot of cold winter trouble There was not enough heat available in the fire when cooking food. Marco Polo then thought that heat was not created due to heavy frost. But for the sake of science, we know today that the problem is that oxygen is low in the air like plateau. Cooking takes longer than usual flat lands.
Polora crossed the northern plateau of Pamira and crossed the northern boundary of Kashmir. Marko is one of the most beautiful areas in the world, Kashmir Then came to Kashghar and the sermon on the famous 'Gobi Desert' in Mongolia. Marco saw a mirage in Gobi. From there, Kanachway arrived safely at Suwache in the state of Tangut. Markov was fortunate to see China's great leader for the first time in this city.
Suddenly Marco learned that Kublai Khan is in his northern capital, Shangtu. They are moving towards It is still 40 days to reach the destination when they meet with the Kubail Khan's angels. Although there was no telephone in the era, special arrangements were made to send a quick message to China. In this well-planned system many rider messengers were used. In order to send important letters to a distant place, a horse from another post office would have been approaching another horse post. The matter of carrying a letter was just like a communication race. In this way, news could reach more than 200 miles in a day. Through this mail arrangement, Kublai Khan soon learned that Venice's Polo is coming to his court. Polora is still far from Khan's palace. Finally, after reaching Shantu, they saw the beautiful city and saw them. Especially Kublai Khan's Palace. This was first seen with Kublai Khan, Marco. Kublai Khan was very happy to receive Pope's gift items and oil.
Marks take about three years to reach Venice from China. On the long tour, they were not only on continuous walks, but their main focus was trade. So if there is a facility to do business in a city, there have been weeks or two or three months. Besides, Marco Polo was very sick. When three polo reaches China, then Marco is twenty years old young. It was seventeen years ago. After reaching China, spent a few months in Kublai Khan's summer palace, Marco At that time he would go hunting with the emperor. The main capital of China was Khanbali, which is now known as Beijing. Kublai Khan came back to his real palace after hunting and enjoying the summer. Marco also came with her. Marco Polo soon became a lover of honesty and faithfulness. Later Kublai Khan appointed him in diplomatic service. As part of this, he spent three years in important work in Hangzhou.
Marco was attracted to him when he saw something new. Keep notes immediately. He wrote about the paper money used in China in that era. The introduction of paper money in Western Europe started its tradition in China hundreds of years ago. He travels to Malay, Sumatra, Ceylon Island. In his writings, there is a description of Sillon's precious stone sapphire. There are also slogans in Markov's travelogue.
RETURN TO HOME:
After spending seventeen years in China, Marco Polo became the owner of a lot of wealth. This time, we started thinking about returning to Venice. Marko age at 38 His father and uncle are almost too old. Although Kublai Khan did not agree to let them go. After a lot of effort Marka got the opportunity. They left for the country in 1292 It takes two years to reach Persia. Finally they reached Venice in 1295. Just two decades ago, three people were traveling from Venice to China.
From Venice to China's Way
After returning home, there was to be a problem in the poloos. Nobody could recognize the relatives after seeing them. Without it, the appearance of everyone was dirty. But the purpose of which Polo has left the country, they succeeded in sixteena. Replaced with precious gems including many precious things. Within a short time, they became famous as Venice's billionaire.
LITERARY AND PRISON LIFE:
Shortly after returning to Venice in 1298, the battle of Genoa (now a large city in north-west of Italy) with Venice started.
Marco Polo led a warship to Venice. Marco Polo was imprisoned during the war. While imprisoned in prison, another prisoner, Rustichello the Pisa, opened the experience of his travels. Later, Rustichelo compiled the experience of Polo's travel experience and published his travel literature, named 'The Travels of Marco Polo'. It is also known as 'The Descript of the World'. The adventures of Marco Polo's adventurous adventure to reach China through Asia gave a huge response to Europeans. This telegram is considered a medieval document. That is why Marco Polo is one of the path guides of today's era. After 175 years of writing Marco Polo's book, Columbus planned to pass the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus thought he had reached Java, Sumatra and other eastern Indian islands of Marco Polo. Not really. Instead, Columbus discovered Haiti and Cuba of the Caribbean Sea. Therefore, Marco Polo's contributions can not be denied on Columbus's discovery of America.
Many people think of Marco's travel stories, how a great story is written?
It is speculated that Marco was a keen remembrance powerhouse. He had the power to remember what he saw or heard, accurately. Moreover, there are clear evidence of keeping note of observations about the places he has visited.
Marco tried to give an overview of everything in his book. There is a description of some such things and there is a description of the things that he has heard from people. He often overshadowed the travelogue. For example, he wrote about some strange creatures that there was no evidence that the animals were in some way in the world. One of them is 'Griffin Bird'. He wrote that this bird is so big that it can eat up to elephants. Even it is also thought that he never traveled to China. In the book of others he described his travel stories. For some of his reasons, his travelogue seemed to be a bit tricky for many. That is why some of his book is called The Million Lies. However, he has given much detail and elaborate details of most places in his book.
MARCO POLO'S LIFE:
Marco Polo was released from captivity in August 1299 and returned to Venice, where his father and uncle owned a large company in the city of Contrada San Giovanni. He funded many operations towards Asia and China, but he never again left Venice. In 1300, Veniceian trader married Dante Bador, daughter of Beal Bador, and became a permanent resident. Be the father of three daughters. Finally, on January 8, 1324, due to sickness, this survivor became the survivor of this famous tourist.
In Marco Polo's travelogue, the life style of his era has been written in detail. He has made history in the history of writing this book. His name is always shining brightly in the list of the world's best tourists.
