Ibn Batutta's is even more significant! In fact, he was the most travelled traveller pre-modern times.

This documentary was of year 2004, as per the narrator (fall of USSR and Civil War 1991 + 13 years). Also no Civil war in Syria at that time. I Guess missing most of Syria in this documentary, would have been great if he covered Damascus, Homs etc, couple of Crusader castles and Salahudin ones as well. It was a wonderful country but they Fcuked it up.

Hai, Bradley, very good story, even left some questions about great wall, tea, chopstick. which didn’t mention by Marco. This is the longest utube I ever watched although it was made in 2011, and reloaded again

Bradley, "ALTERTASH"!

[@CTOInformation]

Westerners do not understand the concept of Chinese. Chinese is not a race, but a cultural fusion. It includes 56 different ethnic groups. Mongolians and Han people are just a part of it. China has had rulers of different ethnicities, including the Mongolians, the Manchus, and the Han, so the Chinese are a nation composed of multiple immigrants and a complex history. China is a geographical concept. People living in this land of China, with common denominator and habits, are called Chinese. This is not a racial theory as Westerners believe. This is why this reporter contradictoryly claimed that he had arrived in China, but when he met Mongolians, Uighurs, and Han people, he believed that only Han people were Chinese. He still habitually used Western racial theories to divide China, a multi-ethnic country.

[@vikramkhanna8533]

Just starting the documentary. Waiting to see the portion where he goes to ancient markets and asks, “ Do you have the kind of swim suit that Marco Polo would have bought here, in case the Chinese insist on playing pool tag with eyes closed?” Yes, and it turns out that Marco was so good at it that….”

[@luohan109]

To talk about Uihgurs being marginalised is one sided. There needs ro be a balance in any comment especially when statements are made without a thorough undertanding of the complexity of history. He just entered the border town of China and he jumps to conclusion. Did Marco Polo jump to conclusion about the residents in Xinjiang?

[@user-k4d-e59mo28oc]

Aha! See, you care more about the conclusions of 2 Europeans than 1.4 billion citizens.

Usually hand carpet making is women who does it. I am from Morocco living abroad this the first time is saw men took over the women job ( carpet making) and those women are usually happy because they work together and talk and work and from same neighborhood or family and men there in iran is making that carpet and is complaining how hard it is and no money in it, of course you are not gonna be happy it's a women job now what you expect women to do go do roofing or dig water Wells or what. Really check videos in Morocco carpet making or infact all other countries you'll see women and they do great job and they be happy.

[@ACastellanosGuessWhat]

Good documentary! However I felt that you run to much in the edition, You made so much effort to get to special places ( example, the Silk factory) and you devoted just few minutes. And the same for many other places.

it´s hard to tell, every place he visit look´s the same today. like a run down place without money without upkeep. i would guess some where from 2007 to 2016 ish. Afghanistan Gov was still in rule in this video. so we know it´s older than the USA Exit. also music classes was allowed in the video. its not today with Taliban rulers. EDIT: Then he ride with the first proper looking Chinese guy, in the window we can see stickers that tells you paid your yearly tax or something like that for the car. those two stickers say 2010 and 2011. So we know its not older than 2011 and not newer than the USA Exit from Afghanistan.

Why are you telling lies about Israeli Arabs? Israeli Arabs have full rights in Israel, the same as Jewish Israelis. This includes voting rights, education, health, employment, housing and freedom of movement. Arabs make up 21% of the population in Israel (over 2 million), with Arab Muslims making up 1.6 million. Most Arab Israelis live in Nazareth, Haifa, Akko and Tel Aviv. Arabs have representation in the Knesset. If you're going to make 'documentaries' about Israel get the basic facts right.
