The Journey Kicks Off
When I was 17, my father and uncle and I went off
on a journey of a lifetime. We traveled more then
24,000 miles in twenty four years. I traveled the
middle east and to Mongolia. I became entrusted
by the emperor of Mongolia who's name was
Khubilai khan. I was given a passport by khubilai
khan that was not made of silver and iron, mine
was made of solid gold. In china I discovered
paper money, silk, iron and salt industries. I
also brought back spaghetti and stuff called gun
powder.

Back in Venice Italy
I returned to my home town in 1295, with my
father and uncle. We were robbed of most of our
riches on our journey home. A war broke out
between Venice and Genoa and I was put in jail.
When I was in jail I told a cellmate of my
travels to china. He was an author who wrote the
book of my travels to china named a description
of the world a lot of people did not believe my
story, but a lot of them did. Christopher
Columbus had a copy of my book. I died at the age
of 70 in 1324.

This looks like the passport my friend Khubilai
khan gave me, but mine was solid gold. It allowed
me to travel throughout Mongolia (china)
