Hello everyone! Today we're going back to the Middle Ages to follow Marco Polo on his journey to Kublai Khan's summer residence in China. I'll give you a little background on Marco Polo's family as well as the circumstances under which the book was written, and then we're tracing the exact route through Persia, along the Silk Road.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

The books are:
Philippe Ménard - Marco Polo. Die Geschichte einer legendären Reise. (originally in French: Marco Polo. À la découverte du monde. I haven't been able to find an English translation, unfortunately, because I like this one a lot.)
Uwe Oster - Atlas des Mittelalters. Von der Völkerwanderung bis zur Entdeckung Amerikas. (From what I can tell only available in German.)

This video contains soft spoken, educational ASMR intended for relaxation and learning about a historical topic. There's map tracing, book sounds and a slight Austrian accent.
