Now I know where Trump learned Geography. I quote: Belgium is a beautiful city. Morocco is basically Mexico. Oakland is the same as San Francisco. Paris is in Germany. Tan-zayn-ia is an African country. Orygone is a US state. I'm not bashing him, I'm quoting him.

well we know people have been traveling back and forth in asia as long as there have been people- many of these stories were doubtless based on true events. but just the inaccuracies alone should be enough to dispute the actual travels of any one marco polo character. i think it likely the author just went with 'reality inspired'

Can't wait wait to sit down and see this. I'm glad to see some history. You always do a great job with research and presentation.
