Marco Polo and his father, Niccolò Polo, visited Kublai Khan in the 13th century. They were Venetian merchants and explorers who traveled extensively in Asia and served as ambassadors for Kublai Khan.
Two sites discovered by European explorers are Machu Picchu in Peru, discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, first explored by Captain James Cook in 1770.
Native Americans and early explorers had varying interactions, ranging from peaceful trade and cooperation to conflict and violence. Early explorers often viewed Native Americans through the lens of their own culture and values, which sometimes led to misunderstandings and hostility. Native Americans, in turn, perceived the explorers as invaders encroaching on their land and resources. The interactions between the two groups were complex and shaped by cultural differences, language barriers, and conflicting interests.
Two goals shared by Spanish explorers in the 1500s were to find new trade routes to Asia for spices and other valuable goods and to spread Christianity to indigenous populations in the New World.
Spain was explored by many prominent explorers including Christopher Columbus, Hernan Cortes, and Francisco Pizarro. These explorers played significant roles in the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the establishment of the Spanish Empire.
Some notable Indian explorers include: Rani Padmini: Legend has it that she was a queen who led a group of women to commit jauhar (self-immolation) to avoid capture by Allauddin Khilji. Satyendra Nath Bose: He was an Indian physicist who worked extensively on quantum mechanics and contributed to the development of Bose-Einstein statistics and the discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate. Sunita Williams: She is an Indian-American astronaut who holds the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman. She has completed two space missions and has spent a total of 322 days in space.

The most famous European to serve in the Kublai government was probably Marco Polo (1254-1324). In the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, Polo is said to have served as a government official under the Mongolian ruler of China, Kublai Khan.According to the book, Polo served under Kublai Khan for two decades; however, scholars disagree on the truthfulness of The Travels of Marco Polo, as Polo may have collected stories he heard from other travelers and passed them off as his own.It is possible that Polo actually served under Kublai Khan; Kublai was visited by several Europeans during his reign in China.

John Cabot lived from 1450 til 1499, Kublai Khan lived from 1215 til 1295, so it's unlikely that they ever met. Cabot's voyages were to the newly discovered Americas, He almost certainly never went to China.
