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.

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.
