- In this three part series we retrace Marco Polo’s legendary journey from Venice to the far reaches of the Mongol Empire, which he started in 1271. His travels 700 years ago revealed an exotic world of riches the west had little knowledge of. But how does his journey look today?
0:00:05 - Another World: we travel from Venice to the Holy Land, through the Middle East to the home of the assassins of Alamut in today's Iran.
0:47:18 - Lost Worlds: we travel from the Silk Road to Xanadu while examining Mongolian horses, bronze-age mummies and ancient caravan routes.
1:33:13 - The New World: we travel through the heartland of China, from Beijing to the City of Heaven.

Love that get to hear all the different languages like Farsi, Mandarin, Italian and so on with English subtitles.
Wonderfully romantic and chillingly nostalgic
This is one of the most fascinating documentaries I've seen in a long time, thank you.
Tarzan is no one in a city, but a king in a jungle.... There must be a place...Somewhere on Earth...created for you...the best version of you....
"everyone that dares to change, takes a leap into the unknown" I like that quote. I was intimidated into conformity and broke me mentally and physically, I'm going towards a major change in my life, leaving behind all the ways everyone wanted me to be, and finding my own way.
Amazing point of view !!!
The only thing I don’t like about new documentaries is I usually listen to them and to have no translation narration can make it rough I don’t mind if I’m watching, watching reading subtitles.
What a journey! Always loved horses and donkey since our village is aside our highest mountain 3744m high. Mongolia is one of my favourite countries. I have learned so much . Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing so much culture and history. I'm afraid for some of us, it's the capitalist future and for some of us it's a longing to go back to smaller communities and a different kind of happiness. I just pray it's closer to nature, each other and God. God bless us all as we come to terms with truth, our hearts and all of our futures together.
Watched it back in 2014, an al jazeera production
how quickly things change - this was clearly a pre-covid view of where things are going.
❤🙏Lots off Love from dublin ireland to everyone❤

An extraordinary documentary.
What happened to the New Ali Baba of the stock trading in China?
WE ARE ALL IN A MESS, AS HISTORY GOES AROUND IN CIRCLES.
When one knows, one doesn't know, it is only when one doesn't know, then and only then one may.
"The Art of War & Other Eastern Classics of Eastern Classics.
Marco Polo learned.
Will we as a society of the world?
I am the world and the world is me.
What is the difference between book knowledge and intelligence? The observer observes the unknown.
Breathe in, breathe out .
Beautifully said. I don't know anything.
This is more about the filmaker's fascination with China than Marco Polo's Journey
You aren't supposed to notice that.
MARCO!!
fascinating... but I'm a little scared
gosh ,this drags on and on....
Who sings that Ave Maria???? at 16.45. Please.
Marco Polo was one of my heroes as a child. I have seen and read all on him but this documentary is truly the most interesting I have seen. It shows Marco Polo, no matter the historical questions, as a model for a TCK., IMO. The TCK journey is a lonely one in contrast with the massive waves of immigrations we see now. It is you, alone, against "them" every time and it remains up to you to deal with all the preconceived ides you harbour. that's the journey. The real understanding of diversity, acceptance, discovering what values to keep and which to reject. Marco Polo is faced with the need to integrate because he is alone. He cannot hide in a ghetto mentality.
Thank you.
NB: this is about Maarco Polo and his voyage of discovery of the Mongol Empire but somehow it ends being a propaganda piece for China! So, IMO, beware of arrogance and thirst for power like every other zenophobic nation on Earth. Learn from "Deutschland uber alles" it did not end as they wanted.
is this doco historic in production
An Italian narrator from Roman history's wicked pleasure of death and more calls Sabbah a murderer? (34m) Interesting take.
The ads are horrific!! Spoils viewing.
Breaking news: Scientists discover that Marco Polo identified as them
Marco Polo brought back the idea of paper money and some think his descriptions of coal, eyeglasses and a complex postal system eventually led to their widespread use in Europe.
Would it even involve a swimming pool?
Marco Polo can't even find his way out of a swimming pool.
Don't you just love it when something is advertised as a history documentary but it's actually lame attempt at propaganda?
Thanks for saving me the time to watch this click bait doc. Propaganda I get everyday.....from everywhere.
@@jerrydeem8845
Someone on the internet says it's propoganda with zero substantiation and you're so credulous that you'll take anyone's word for anything instead of finding out for yourself?
@@jerrydeem8845 Some historians have doubts about Marco Polo all right, but it's not just because someone else said so. There is also a difference between incredible and incredulous; you know that, right?
What's with the comment sec.... oh. 🤔
MARCO!??
POLO!!!
can somebody pls summarize this
Why is this being mentioned on a timeline doc? Sounds odd
What do you mean?
This is someone's ideals of a pipe dream. To be on the front of things you have to first be there not chasing it .your dream would be better on Mars
What is correct name of Iranian archeologist?
Buena serata godete il vero filmato e tutto real la verità e quest'e se repetira ma sta Bolt e vinto
No smokin' but Rock 'N' Roll however
Marco Polo could have discovered Australia because he made it was far South as Singapore during his expedition.
Ibn Battuta n°1
Monday 8th Feb 2024 was the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo’s death.
Do some pirate stuff!! 🏴☠️
2nd comment?
Jesus and money ya good combination..... Ssm!!!!!
The north south failure.
Marco
Polo
Marco Polo was illiterate??
He did not know Latin.
Now WHO was before the gates of Vienna? The Mongols or the Ottomans ( the Turks). Kara Mustafa and Suleiman the Great, or even better, the magnificent, do not sound Mongolian names to me?
Mongols were in Hungary !
Matthias , the king of Hungary
They dont mean literally at the gates of the city but in Hungary as gate to Austrian kingdom
Isn't it every country that thinks its women are the most beautiful? The most desirable? A young Italian man interested in women...who would have guessed?
There are many accounts in history where people accredited foreign places as having the most beautiful women. Slavic territories of antiquity were one of those places. They were sold as slaves at inflated prices because of their perceived beauty in other non Slavic regions far and wide.
Rubbish 4:14
Very little history shown. Random scenes of Cars on modern roadsand helicopters.
Meaningless speculation. Why have Italian narration? Very tedious.
Did not take me long to realise the underlying Chinese propaganda.
What do you mean?
as an history Channel, you surprisingly miss one major starting point, e.i., the Holy land is first and foremost a jewish land. the Muslim came in 650 and occupied this land while the Jewish people established themselves and found Jerusalem almost 2000 years prior. where is my history ?
Nope, even the Bible speaks on how the Jews entered that land and were told by god to massacre the inhabitants that were already living there. Not that they were Muslims either but my theory is that they were Afro Asiatics.
Here´s the problem with her comment regarding a clash of civilizations. The succeeding comment about knights doing it for only money is mostly true, but not all of them. Here is WHY: The muslims slaughtered their way from the Arabic peninsula a killing any Christian Arabs (and still do if they say anything about Christ), Christian Egyptians, and through to Israel and Syria doing the same. IT was NEVER their land. And still isn´t. The clash is of an invader with a cultic religion. THAT is why there will never be peace between The Godly Christian &Jews versus the muslims. It is Christ versus Satan.
