No, not really because this was too long ago. Only major people can be given. Kublai Khan in Peking. At 21 Khan sends him as an enyoy to a remote area of China. For several years Polo was a governor of a Chinese City. He escorted the daughter of Khan to Persia. He died in 1324
The Polo Brothers, Maffeo and Niccilo, merchants from Venice Italy, left on a trading mission in 1260 and by 1266 had reached the court of the Great Khan in Beijing China. They returned to Venice in 1269 with letter to the Pope from Kublai Khan and many stories of their adventures. In 1271, when Marco Polo was 17 years old, he set off with his father and uncle on another journey which eventually brought them back to the court of the Khan. Marco was a very well educated young man for his time and, according to Marco, Kublai Khan was so impressed by him that the Khan entrusted him with diplomatic missions throughout China, in addition to Burma and India. Marco was also very impressed with the many social and scientific things he discovered on his travels in Asia. Upon his return home in 1295, Marco spent many years writing of his travels, his association with Kublai Khan, and the many things he had learned on his trip. His travels took 24 years and he had traveled an estimated 15,000 miles. See the links below for further information.

Marco Polo was BEFORE Columbus about 225 years.
Marco Polo lived in an interesting period in world history. Europe was awakening from the Dark Ages in a time of religious crusades and was quickly expanding trade areas. In contrast, Chinese civilization had very deep roots, but at the time was under Mongol rule. The empire of Kublai Khan was one of the largest kingdoms to ever exist.
