I'm no expert, but the general idea is that Marco traveled to China and became a favorite of Kublai Khan, traveling and working for him all over China, SE Asia,& India. He documented his journeys and the Chinese way of life. These works became historical documents because of the information concerning life in China under Mongol rule. Also, his detailed accounts became the foundation of some of the first correct maps of Europe and Asia. Polo also inspired future travelers such as Columbus and Vasco de Gama.
