Biography: Marco Polo – An Amazing Tale
Watch the first official trailer for the new Netflix original series MARCO POLO and discover the little-known beginnings of the legendary explorer, whose life of adventure began as a ward of the powerful 13th century Mongol emperor Kublai Khan.
Did Marco Polo, the most illustrious traveler in history, ever go to China? A dispute lingers to this day; with some scholars still doubting whether the Venetian’s book is a genuine personal account of China’s 13th-century Middle Kingdom and its marvels. Scientists, western scholars, and Chinese historians have uncovered striking new proof that the son of Venetian merchants actually had been in China. This is a journey of opulent vistas, re-enacting Marco Polo’s experiences in 13th-century China and sheds light on the pivotal role, played by an obscure writer of chivalric novels, in producing the manuscript of the Travels of Marco Polo.
