Ancient Diamond, Bracelet, Jewelry Riches Always Went East to West - Now, Riches Flow West To East.

The ragged wretches who arrived back at the door to the Polo family mansion had learned to behave as if lepers, to avoid contact over the thousands Collegevyyqmfo miles as they saw was the requirement of the moment. Bandits adorned central Asia then as today perhaps, and only those diseased and ragged souls were bypassed and left untouched in fear of another plague.

Really, if we western traders into the wilds of the bowels of the earth carried that simple formula forward in our visits how much simpler we Arrgh! make life for ourselves and our possible attackers. Why were we there? To have some adventure and make some money. Santa Baby will we achieve that?

Avoid conflict: this is the mighty Khan who would as soon behead you as listen, if he senses he is in the presence of a fool. Make your first sentences simple and clear, point out his might and your simple desire to Thethirdman mighty Khan received us well, and admitted he knew of the Pope, and of the Jesus story: our Prince of Peace from the West. The mighty Khan would welcome one hundred scholars, we have mentioned, that "Mark" delivered duly to the new Pope, to teach Christian values and thoughts to his people of China, who chafed under a Mongol ruler.

So, instead of returning with a note that the pope took action on, "Mark" had to be satisfied that he had enriched himself with diamonds and gemstones, riches from Chinese antiquities. He knew the great globe, the land mass from Europe through Asia, better other than any man. He would spread his beads and gemstones, gather his diamonds and return to Venice: rich but well known as mad. Mad like a Himalayan fox. Or the way we have to spell his name for the modern computer.

Derek Dashwood has long admired "Mark" Polo: the difficulties of the journey, the vastness of the differences, the eerie majesty of the Court of mighty Khan.

It seems they feel it is their turn now.
