'''Marco Polo''' was an explorer who wrote a great deal about his travels to [[China]] in the [[13th century]]. He claimed he was well received in the [[court]] of [[Kublai Khan]] but there is little Chinese evidence to verify his presence. While his writing doesn't mention [[chopstick]]s or the [[Chinese]] writing system, it does discuss strange technologies like [[kite]]s that lift men and fireworks that certainly aren't [[Europe]]an.<br />
<br />
His book, ''Il Milione'' ("The Million" aka "The Travels of Marco Polo"), was written in the [[Provençal]] language once he had returned to Europe.<br />
