what Marco Polo discovered in china??

Answer 1

silk, noodles, and Chinese checkers.

Answer 2

Just a note to some of the answerers above: Marco Polo did NOT discover silk in China. Chinese silk was known to the ancient Romans, a thousand years before Marco Polo.

Answer 3

This was his Father, Niccolo Polo and uncle, Maffeo Polo, who first travelled to china through Gobi desert and stayed there long time. At the time of Kublai Khan (the grand father of Changes Khan) was the king of China. They came back and the son of Niccolo Polo, Marco Polo had become young and he also joined with them to go to China, when they went back.
So why Marco Polo is famous, as he is the one who wrote it in the shape of a book.
Silk, Porcelain, Glazing techniques on colourful pottery etc.

Answer 4

17 year old Marco Polo with his father Nicolo and uncle Maffeo, was one of the very first europeans to travel through the Silk Route to China.
In his travelogue "Il Milione", Marco documents their trip to the Far East, journeying through the Taklamakan and Gobi deserts, their visit to the court of the legendary Kubla Khan and their subsequent stay there for 17 years. He also documented the Mongolian way of life and the cultural variety of the area. Spiced with Marco's storytelling skills, "Il Milione" was a purported bestseller of the times!
Among all the fascinating things that Polo saw abroad, he is credited with bringing Ice Cream and Pasta back to the Western World!!

Answer 5

I am a former chef and a bit of a food history expert, and like "Sparrowette", said there was a crude form of pasta in Italy long before the Marco Polo's revelation. They had what is none a "rags" in Italian slang, rough piece of dough made from wheat, corn or chesnut flours, torn into pieces and boiled, then serve with either chesses, veg, wild herbs and oils. It was Marco Polo who brought back the egg based pastas and long noodle like style, there had been some form of pasta, which means "Paste" in Italian since the Roman time, they even boiled excess bread dough and made soups with it. I have a collection of Ancient Romans recipes, from the net that explains this from around the reign of the Cesar's.

Answer 6

As any explorer, Marco Polo discovered new civilizations. As any explorer who discovered new civilizations, he did not discover anything moreover than what others had found before him. Indeed, he discovered civilizations on unexplored territories of Europeans, but then, these civilizations had preceded it. He discovered nothing but brought back to the Occident what he saw and filled with wonder.
