Marco Polo's Journey from Venice to the Court of Kublai Khan

The year is 1271. A seventeen-year-old boy stands at Venice's harbor, watching his father's merchant ship disappear into the mist. He has never traveled beyond the canals of his floating city. He has never seen battle, never crossed a desert, never stood before kings.
But in twenty-four years, this same boy will return as the most famous traveler in history.
This video tells the explosive true story of Marco Polo, the merchant's son who became the world's greatest explorer. From crossing the deadly Gobi Desert and surviving assassination attempts, to becoming the trusted adviser of history's most powerful emperor, Marco's journey reads like an epic adventure novel-except every word is true.
Discover how a teenage merchant learned to navigate Kublai Khan's deadly court intrigues. Witness his transformation from outsider to the Khan's most trusted foreign agent, carrying secrets that could destroy empires. Follow his footsteps through a world where European ships had never sailed, where spice was worth more than gold, and where the wrong word could mean death.
For the first time, this groundbreaking biography weaves together newly uncovered archaeological evidence, lost manuscripts, and centuries of controversial clues to reveal the real Marco Polo. Far more than just an explorer, Marco was history's first great bridge between East and West-a spy, diplomat, and survivor whose incredible journey would inspire Columbus, spark the Renaissance, and change the course of world history.
