Marco Polo - Part 5 - The Voyage Home

The Explorers Podcast - A podcast by Matt Breen

In our final episode on explorer Marco Polo, we take the Venetian merchant on one last mission for Kublai Khan. Marco - along with his father and uncle - were tasked with escorting a princess to Persia. The resulting mission will take the Polos - by ship - to Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, and - finally - home. It will complete an epic 24 year, 15,000+ mile journey.  Map: https://explorerspodcast.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/map-home.png Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
