polo and the silk road
One of the
greatest traveler long ago was Marco Polo. He traveled and learned many useful
things from his long journey to China
Marco polo
was the first person who described the silk road
When he was
14 years old he journeyed with father and uncle, they visit many place and it
was very interesting for Marco to learn different things
Description
about the Silk road in his book. Silk road was a 6.500-kilometre-long route between china
and Europe. On this road silk was one of the most important trade goods. It was
very valuable thing and people made silk
into beautiful carpets, clothes ,shoes
and pictures.
There was
caravanserai where people after a long day stopped here . A lot of caravanserais were just small rooms
made from stone, and visitors slept on the cold floor. Now modern people can
visit caravanserai in Uzbekistan. Now this place nice comfortable hotels with
showers, television and restaurants
Marco also
describe the great Mongol ruler. Mongol leader Genghis khan conquered o lot of
country. The Mongols conquer many
countries because they were very strong soldiers who could ride fast and fight
for hours at a time and Mongols were also interested in learning from the people
they ruled
When Marco
journeyed he was in desert Lop. There were also stories of strange music, and
voices that called travelers names again and again. Sometimes travelers walked
away from their caravans to follow the voices –and died alone in the middle of
nowhere. I think that this strange music is made by the wind moving through the
sand .
I choose
this book because this book was
interesting for me. Now I knew interesting stories, things and what was
happening around the world. There were stories of strange animals, wonderful
cities, sweet spices, and terrible wild deserts where a traveller could die. I
like this book
