History : In 1271, Marco Polo was just seventeen years old. Polo traveled with his merchant father and uncle, who had previously made the trip and promised the great Mongol leader, Kublai Kahn, that they would return. Instead of sailing around India to reach the capital city of Cambulac (Beijing), the three Europeans trekked through deserts and mountains along ancient traders' routes that would eventually become known as the Silk Road.
