a venture has to be made a household name to this day. i'm doing icon through the centuries. but why is he's doing so well? know, what is it about his journey that it continues to inspire generations, including people like me and so many young people, hundreds of years later. i realize that in the city where my component was born raised, there's no statute of him. we don't even know what he looked like as known. painting of him was made during his lifetime. his image constructed by was because this only museums, historical archives, and the most importantly in the book,

the troubles of michael polo, which he did into right himself. after returning from his 24 year checking, he was taken prisoner during a war between fitness and on his cell met those decarlo. the pizza. they've done marco polo said adventures and it became the most influential and detailed your pin, a kind of aisha, shaping the west front seats about the east for centuries. filipino volume that for the 1st time a book showed aisha. it's mostly to asia populations by monstrous creatures and full of wonders. it's an extremely concrete aisha made up of cost of valuable foods, silks, precious stones, spices, but also cities of people. for the 1st time you discover this content novel that they would all pass corporate we still continuing the microphone. o'shea team,

great detail in the book, what he dislikes to travel along the ations. so from but how it would be to travel this to quote, today, i come help. the 131271. it took markup photos 3 years to tell some of the news to try to buy nations. i buy to and do you know, 64 and 67 years old, respectively. i'm to complete the same route in just a 100 days on bicycles, on the top of my performer, such as we want to pay tribute to our fellow citizen with his journey nor following and his boot steps said when building this 12 points to paint a picture of the silk route is in the 3rd millennium of yeah, that's a fact that that some of the with just 2 bags each and the camera

among to the other handlebars. the 2 friends, picking their attorney from the european gateway of the sioux crowd, been the document to the entire journey. as a video diary from marco polo is the desire to new, the desire to understand they must be strategic about their choice. a few as to political attentions and the safety of the 1st things they must consider the ability to fight. it looks like you have to slalom between wars. we had an absolutely avoid russia and we wanted to and had to avoid ukraine to fly around is also not so advisable. at this time. pushing god was so main accessed to some countries is unpredictable. the

the internet as a by john unbelievable. the data we've been waiting since noon already been able to by the way, we will arrive in check them bashi tomorrow afternoon committee to begin. let's face this new leaf into the void into the dark because we are entering turkmenistan, which is in some way a peculiar country. they say, i say under my breath, the close of the whole check that is 2nd to north korea in terms of curtailing and personal freedoms. i look for a, have been aboard a cuss. pnc ferry did reach the shores of choke menus. ton of g 3. stage 13 we are in turkmenistan name is

marco polo. describe the vast harsh deserts of central asia, most likely types of to cut a comb, desert in modern day 2 commodities time. no magic tribes facilitate to trade across this inc. hospitable regions for our badge, when do you know, navigating the region by bike, we may see a significant challenge following the ation. so quote, they arise in bukasa. one of the most well preserved be able see teasing, central asia, it's urban separate, has to remain largely intact for more than 2 south of use. that'd be to create that bicycle gives you a totally different perspective. the perspective of slowness is a magnifying glass that makes you understand the world. yes, but i a pretty big, huge strength to yourself, and i'm even, you get into the site, the panorama. that'd be great if you mean that same feeling that the polio family

also felt clean, slowly with don't keys a little bit on food tumbling by boat, the 140, moving off the top of the the down to the sound. so we're trying to get into china and we can earlier, we talked to a place where there was only a highway and they sent us back. and we had to go around 25 kilometers and came to another highway. so maybe this time it will work on the power back to on. do you know have, finally you crossed the tri, these borders,

but their journey isn't over. and yet with their small camera, they continue documenting the adventure. they still have more than 4000 kilometers of paddling, had showed the rates their final destination between the signed lease. after a 100 days of trouble, they've made it. they've reached the capital city. i'm happy to meet them and hear all about the ventures the bundle. yeah, because even particularly when you travel like this on a bicycle, it's a nice app because you realize that the world is really better than one thinks because people help us by not just uncle gee, even today at 3 o'clock a stranger stopped us and gave us 2 bottles of water and a few thoughts just sort of like you gave example, global theory, the west point to the customer. where do you hide? reset to that of the 3rd man. so forget, i'm of these, these are people helped us so much that the lesson from the small inquiry is still

a valid ceiling job. it traveling always has to be an active community. you have to get closer to others. you have to share taste food and we have to share chinese taste community that which are not really the same as ours. we are not used to them because that's what traveling is a cruise to get the one of his toys on speaker accomplish something monumental. it's easy to give the individual author credits, but the era, the context,

play some role. marco polo was always out to dallas in the right place. i think exactly the right time to leave his marks on history. i mean the 2 cyclists, again in the turning on the c 18 at a separation for them and 2 older components. paula was one of the many travelers, so many invoice, one of the many people leaving in these a really very diversified and wide space which was the un diagnosed is change the empire and use it for a sense when you visit, trying to reach right away. and the bulk of my microphone i was called inside this was allowed to call to my to go about the religious place, where a lot of people from foreign countries,

the only leave to but also 5 to where a connection or something a little more time. see no worries, far away please. the ancient marie times soap fraud beginning to enjoy and undertaking venice at home, scrapes taking the seconds for researchers wrote white. the cycle of the century of economic power had pushed, the venetians as far as the black sea coast, where the last western outposts were not getting there. and there was an encounter there with a foreign power that did something exceptional and incomparable. in human history. the mongols managed to go from a mass of semi nomadic tribes, quarrelling with each other, into a military power capable of unifying under one power. all of continental agent, basically from korea to the borders of turkey, took the last 20 minutes the assistance of visit related conditions that had never

been seen before in which anyone could travel freely throughout asia without risking their lives. when he gets out a bit, i mean that was the key thing that comes up on them in the starting the peak of the among bulky chains florist along the extending from the terrain to china, turning the cheese cities along the roads into a vibrant house from parts down yet where i am no one that's 6, population of more than 1000000. julia is by no means are particularly large international city in the vast expense of china today. but the one marco polo arrived here. it was a true metropolitan hop going around. chung, here,

i've discovered that many of the historical sites he mentioned in his book can still be fun. today. matt t a temple comes on in the sub groups of john here, hold statues, and one paintings that dates back to there's been diagnosed. marco polo wasn't particularly familiar with buddhism, referring to it's a speakers as i don't think today's china various forms of buddhism remained vibrant. alonza ations. so from germany, a staff for 10 polls were legend says copeland con was born. marco polo also substituting site. the

of the the from a component of what to look around chung you today. people would surely stop and stare in as a frame or a very teaching and around the city. but during his visit 700 years ago, he could have been just the one of many people was colored eyes as the in a demonstration, categorize them. so i think that the significance is that lack of paul is a, one of the mainly, or leave the in these a job offer late globalization. and of course, the south of china was extremely sophisticated. the very develop turnville at the southern truth of china just across from taiwan is a city where every religion funding china is representative. for this is on the open to take all of the code to you. really like to hear you from from the home phone. i will hundreds look on the top cushion. he will produce your

microphone or causing the system home. since i've seen the city of trent, joe, you will fight or religious sites almost every streets christianity, buddhism, taoism confucianism is some more i'll call you because this kid just if let me community dates back to the 7th century. and the oldest mosque in china is located here. even the long last, the religion of many keys has left its mark. the only set you of many can be found in the suburbs of check joe, the thing chiron. tempo. a boot decides in the city center. you can even find statues of king to come under cool like 100 through the 13th century triangle with this diverse religions,

an emergence from all over the wall. it was less modern day, new york. it was the rose, murray time of trade centers during the summer. a new un dentist is hard to say whether on road is more open now than it was 700 years ago. but the taste length of germany and change all 4 of the more international and opened during more components time the it was through my co pulse descriptions that the europe 1st came to know a china in such detail. inside the china millennium monuments, a release depicts a 100 his tardy coffee goes shaped chinese history. marco polo, it's a one of only 2 for a nice include the, he's execution was product of diploma. so we want to be sent

to reach out here is for the meaning of the 6 addition is the green g and china and photo wings to ration getting signed by microphone, right? so the, these chides best each. so i call and if we choose to have in our execution, because inspiring, is telling the story of west meeting, the east georgette just title, and you tell me an art historian and the one of the exhibitions curators has lived in china for almost 10 years. i remember the 1st time i loved living by jean, i was speaking to someone last last that i still have the lighting press in my mind just on the sound,

all those products as i clicked on this sent anything. so that's the way i really so about the portal and folders travelers back to the time because i was and i was thinking about how brave thing where to go to. so this thing that we don't know the one side of the med though, if you're on the on known but on the other side, there is the excitement of learning so much. i remember i was feeling so impatient because i need to know i need to know everything. now. i wonder how my co pulse out when he finally arrived in time or something to i went to visit the places marco polo once traveled to such as it was, bank is done and places like turkey he was in this house. i truly want to visit these

places. you guys originally i only knew about his exchange between china in italy, but i didn't realize he encountered so many other interesting things you're supposed to do. but now i feel an even stronger desire to visit these places and see them for myself. so we're thinking now current and future cultural exchanges. this also offices some insights. nowadays, the exchange is between countries around the world are becoming more frequent. and we continually commemoration reflect on these interactions in the future. and now social lives. we can be more inclusive and open to embrace the desires coaches from all over the world, engaging in friendly social interactions, even in cultural creation. for example, in the place we are now, there are many creation books behind this creation by children based on marco polo and the cultural exchange between china and easily go trying.

the this is a what a 10 year old child think of each lee. and i like this one very much because this is the imagination of how marco polo 8, how pot and hard part is actually quite a popular dish fixed, then they run diagnostics. so, so very beautiful one or the, it's the wonder last the search to florida venture that drives us to explore a world that a few so distant and the cultures that same so different. it's just a bit rich. a thanks flora. just for every explorer of the comes on time when the pool of home grow stronger and the journey in actively leads us back to where with the only one we've travelled so far, which truly understand the meaning of home. just as only after saving aisha

cullum, for lake rus way here of is what it is. it has said that marco polo left china function joke, most likely from this very flight. through of history, the west has often viewed the east with a mix of fussing nation and fear. but today the fence has become beautiful to me, europe and asia has often me read each other, reflecting both their differences and to shared humanity. in any event that the freedom of the gays and the pushing aside of prejudices, curiosity said the other without arrogance. so without

a sense of superiority disease, marco polo is not a device, if speaker, unlike other travelers, because he does not approach the other trying to concrete, it meets him, and it is truly one of the encounters now, history that has brought us the most often. it's through cultural traditions, they can check and both ways that we are reminded how we all share that piece of history together, the questions and sounds. and so in today's society, although communication has been so developed, we actually should learn more from marco polo despaired of exchange width and tolerance for different cultures. the whole international situation is not very encouraging at the moment josephine so we need more tyler this into the microphone with not the kola, came to china and the 13th century. the emperor coupla khan aust. you've told so

many stories. why have you never mentioned your hometown venice? marco polo replied because oh my stories contained my hometown go today. i can come from china to mancha polos hometown. it's meaningful and through drag and boat racing, it feels like i've come full circle back to venice. that's the perhaps we humans are wired to feel what is different and the media which makes the moment we recognize our collective humanity all the more for from the
