Marco Polo Reloaded re-travels the Silk Road on the tracks of its most well-known voyager: the mediaeval traveler and writer Marco Polo.
Four road movie style-documentaries imagine the past and show today's reality, in countries like Turkey, Israel, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, the Central Asian Republics and China.
The films show what is happening if one re-travels Marco Polo's journey again, 700 years after him, his book in mind ("reloaded"), overland, by means of local transport, covering the ancient trade-route on its entire length from Venice to Beijing.
We accompany a travel writer on a mission: Bradley Mayhew, 40, born in England, living in the US, is a senior writer for Lonely Planet Publications. He is researching a book on the Silk Road and its legendary voyager.
Marco Polo Reloaded shows Bradley at work. He researches, takes notes and pictures, he collects content and experiences. "Curiosity and discovery" is his attitude. He travels by bus, truck or train through oriental cities, inhospitable mountains and forbidding deserts.
We wander bazaars and hop dirty bars, we marvel at palaces and wait with him at dusty train stations. We meet people on the road and share their stories.
Some cities, Marco Polo passed through 700 years ago, do no longer exist, others have been ultimately altered by modernity, again others still breathe the Orient. Today as in Marco Polo's times some areas are off-limits, dangerous, ridden by crisis or war and the traveler is forced detours. Travelling the Silk Road today is as exciting and adventurous as it was in Marco Polo's time.
It is undoubted that Marco Polo travelled East. But did he really reach China? Was he really close to Kublai Khan, as his book suggests? Some historians are doubtful. The films will moderately address these questions, without giving a final answer, of course.

That's a great adventure 💯👏
Thanks.. I enjoyed watching this journey😊.
Read Polos autobiography.... I found it extremely interesting.
Verry Verry good thanks 🙏
Their hard long trips made connections opening eyes, roads and history. They are history builders not couch potatoes.
Wanna do this kind of trip
Watching this has been such a great experience. I will certainly come back to it. Thanks
This documentary was uploaded recently but was most likely made 20 to 30 years ago. The clips used in this film show Chinese cities or places of decades ago.
other video too on this channel . but still better than garbage on tv
@@user-dv6qe3nr5s Yeah, especially the Marco Polo Netflix movie. Bunch of stupid drama.
I’ve found kindred people in this thread lol. I hate docudramas of historical events. The only things I find entertaining and interesting are things like this show educational programs
Loved to see Robert De niro travel across the matchs of marco polo
Marco Polo on a train 🚊 😊
Tu que te detuviste a leer mi comentario, sigue adelante,.que vendrán cosas mejores en la vida, nunca te rindas sigue luchando por tus sueños, te mando un abrazo 🧡🌟❤🌹
Thank you...hug for you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Muchas gracias😊
I’d love to see him do a travel documentary like this but retracing Ibn Battuta Journey and other explorers
Oke thanks 🙏
Thanks For Sharing Amazing > Toronto, Canada
This documentary was of year 2004, as per the narrator (fall of USSR and Civil War 1991 + 13 years). Also no Civil war in Syria at that time. I Guess missing most of Syria in this documentary, would have been great if he covered Damascus, Homs etc, couple of Crusader castles and Salahudin ones as well. It was a wonderful country but they Fcuked it up.
Thanks to Marco Polo I met Barad, thank you very much Marco
Sensacional! Esculachou!
Old show. Aleppo is still intact
A great travel piece,but boy has the world changed and not for the better.With politics of today it would be impossible. But no cell phones.!
Just starting the documentary. Waiting to see the portion where he goes to ancient markets and asks, “ Do you have the kind of swim suit that Marco Polo would have bought here, in case the Chinese insist on playing pool tag with eyes closed?” Yes, and it turns out that Marco was so good at it that….”
Bellissimo viaggio! Grazie per questo reportage!
Wonderful documentary! Thanks for uploading! BTW, a factual error (3:17:15): Venice of the East is Suzhou, not Hangzhou.
Awesome man Goodreads
Hai, Bradley, very good story, even left some questions about great wall, tea, chopstick. which didn’t mention by Marco. This is the longest utube I ever watched although it was made in 2011, and reloaded again
On his deathbed, Marco said, "I haven't told half of what I saw."
when was this filmed? looks like mid 2000s
ballgard should come over yonder - to the land of opportunities. Legit.
❤❤❤❤❤
The Grand Tour should do this as their final special even though they have already been to Mongolia for a special.
❤❤
Wonderful trip ! Excellent images and story! I have an intrigue... Why do so many watch changes on your wrist...?
3:00:23 Has anyone noticed the wrong pronunciation of the word paeon? Also, Bradley's Chinese is level A2, it is not so great as he himself claims.
Usually hand carpet making is women who does it. I am from Morocco living abroad this the first time is saw men took over the women job ( carpet making) and those women are usually happy because they work together and talk and work and from same neighborhood or family and men there in iran is making that carpet and is complaining how hard it is and no money in it, of course you are not gonna be happy it's a women job now what you expect women to do go do roofing or dig water Wells or what. Really check videos in Morocco carpet making or infact all other countries you'll see women and they do great job and they be happy.
Marco polo < Ibn battuta
when is this documentary filmed? Filming looks kinda old
it´s hard to tell, every place he visit look´s the same today. like a run down place without money without upkeep. i would guess some where from 2007 to 2016 ish.
Afghanistan Gov was still in rule in this video. so we know it´s older than the USA Exit. also music classes was allowed in the video. its not today with Taliban rulers.
EDIT: Then he ride with the first proper looking Chinese guy, in the window we can see stickers that tells you paid your yearly tax or something like that for the car. those two stickers say 2010 and 2011. So we know its not older than 2011 and not newer than the USA Exit from Afghanistan.
@@PulkaSkurkenCertainly before the syrian civil war started in 2011
The first episode aired February 15, 2012 on Canadian TV. One of the many miraculous gifts of Google. You can look up stuff 😆
Who is video tapping?
To talk about Uihgurs being marginalised is one sided. There needs ro be a balance in any comment especially when statements are made without a thorough undertanding of the complexity of history. He just entered the border town of China and he jumps to conclusion. Did Marco Polo jump to conclusion about the residents in Xinjiang?
Aha! See, you care more about the conclusions of 2 Europeans than 1.4 billion citizens.
I need visuals of the ancient worlds. Hard to super impose or imagine life back then with today's culture.

Kn kn odisha ❤❤ cement kora bhai ❤❤ 0:00
when was this video made? 15 years ago?
But did Marco actually reach China? Or did he make it up?
How could he have possibly retraced Marco Polo's trip if he never went into a swimming pool!!! I call B.S.!
Underrated comment
Ha!!
Why you do not visited Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and Mongolia 🇲🇳?
He's retracing the footsteps of Marco Polo, not Ibn Battuta.
