Elementary Themes Marco Polo Marco Polo Marco found his way paved by the pioneering efforts of his ancestors and especially of his father, Niccol?, and his uncle Maffeo. Marco Polo select from a list of topics. Marco Polo In 1995 Korcula celebrated the 700th anniversary of Marko Polo's return from China to Europe. Korcula had also solemnly celebrated the 700th anniversary of his birth earlier in 1954. The Travels of Maco Polo In 1260, the brothers and Venetian merchants Niccolo and Matteo Polo traveled east from Europe. In 1265, they arrived at Kaifeng, the capital of Kublai Khan's (also known as the Great Khan) Mongol Empire. The Last Voyage of Marco Polo It was in Venice in 1269 that the Polos settled after Marko's birth. When Nikola and Mate Polo returned after fifteen years of trading in Asia back to Europe, Marko was fifteen years old and his mother had died a long time previously. Marko listened with enthusiasm to their stories about the wonders and riches of China. At the Court of Kublai-Khan When the two brothers, Nikola and Mate Polo, this time together with young Marko, found themselves again in this big town, they went straight to the emperor's palace where they saw the ruler in the company of a great number of dignitaries. Polo's Return to Europe Marko Polo spent seventeen years in the service of Kublai Khan. Those were the best years of his life, filled with exciting happenings, merchant business, diplomatic missions, love affairs.

42. Marco Polo's Asia Chinese history paper on Marco polo and his adventures in Asia. http://www.tk421.net/essays/polo.html

Marco Polo's Asia And with it all my travels' history: Wherein of antres vast, and deserts idle, rough quarries, rocks and hills, whose heads touch heaven, It was my hint to speak - Othello, I. iii. The Middle Ages represents a unique period in world history. An advanced Chinese civilization had been flourishing for many centuries, but at the time was under Mongol rule. Although many records of Chinese history exist from within the culture, an outsider's perspective on Chinese civilization would yield further information. Fortunately, there is one historical document that offers such an account: the text of Marco Polo's journeys in Asia. This book serves as an important work on Chinese civilization during Mongol rule. It is important to understand the perspective that Marco Polo had on Asian civilization. Therefore, a summary of the background of Venice and China at the time, as well as the events leading to Marco Polo's arrival in China, are included. The details of Marco's stay in Asia and his impressions are reviewed in a detailed biography of Marco Polo's journeys. It will be shown how Marco Polo's accounts can be used to re-examine the history of China. I. Marco Polo's Legacy

Briefing Are you ready for a big family vacation? Imagine that one of your parents has asked you to accompany him or her on a long trip from Europe to eastern China, retracing the steps of Marco Polo. Now all you can think about is what it will look like there, what the people will be like, what you should pack, and what your friends and relatives will want you to bring back to share with them. (You can let your mom or dad worry about everything else.) Perhaps explorer Marco Polo wondered about these things. In 1271, 17-year-old Marco left his hometown of Venice, Italy, with his father and uncle, embarking on an adventure that lasted 24 years, and took him to places that Europeans had never even heard of.

Welcome to The Aiken Polo Experience! "You know you're in Aiken because the auto traffic stops at the intersection of Whiskey Road and Easy Street to let you ride your horse into the Hitchcock Woods. There the century-old polo fields are to the polo player what West Point is to the soldier and Annapolis to the sailor." Polo Magazine "Polo has played an integral role in the history of Aiken, South Carolina. From the 1800s, when Aiken was famous for its "Winter Colony" of wealthy easterners, to the 1960s when Aiken was hailed as the "Polo Center of the South". Today, polo is still played at Whitney Field, the site of the longest consecutive period of play on one field in the United States. And now, with the establishment of Langdon Road Polo Club and New Bridge Polo and Country Club, Florida-level polo returns to Aiken with high-goal tournament action! Steeped in tradition, the Aiken Polo Club hosts club polo interspersed with exciting medium-goal tournaments.

Bicycle Polo! Polo is thought to be the oldest team sport known to man, dating from the days when Persian warriors first rode horses into battle. Bicycle polo evolved a bit later, having had to wait for some clever chap to invent the modern bicycle. Polo has long been known as "the king of games," but the money and skills required have greatly limited its popularity. Bicycle polo has a much broader appeal, since almost anyone can ride a bike, not to mention afford one. Anyone, male or female, aged nine to ninety, can play bicycle polo!
