History's Mysteries: The True Story of Marco Polo

This program is part of the popular series from the History Channel that investigates some of civilization's unsolved mysteries and controversies. This episode centers on the debate about perhaps the world's most famous traveler: Marco Polo. His account of his journey throughout the Orient fired the imaginations of many people in Europe. Now there is talk that he may never have gone there at all. The documentary weighs the facts, and interviews Frances Wood, who was the first to suggest that Marco Polo's exploits -- or even the man himself -- were the work of fiction and not fact. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
