Marco Polo came first, as he was born in 1254 and traveled to Asia in the late 13th century, returning to Venice in 1295. Christopher Columbus, on the other hand, was born in 1451 and made his famous voyage across the Atlantic in 1492. Therefore, Polo's travels occurred nearly two centuries before Columbus's expeditions.
