Historical Premise

|  History  |  Marco Polo – A man of his time  |

Perhaps the time itself gave birth to Marco Polo – the explorer. It was historically, a transitional period when religious awakening coupled with inventions and discoveries enlightened the society at large. Expansion in trade and area of rule gave birth to a calculative mind – with curiosity and new ideas. Europe was brimming with vanity about its achievements; unaware of the developments in the other parts of the world.

Contrary to European views, Asia and especially China forged ahead technologically, culturally and economically. China made steady progress way ahead of the Europeans on the basis of silk trade and paper money. The all round progress lead to a wealthy nation and overall prosperity.

A clear picture about China did not exist up until now. Only whimsical stories and concocted versions on China were available which misled the world away from facts.
