Compare the architectural achievements of Vasco da Gama and Marco Polo?
Answers
Answer:
Marco Polo (1254-1324):
In the early 1270s, Italian explorer Marco Polo set off on a journey to explore Asia with his father and uncle. The most popular traveller of all time, Marco Polo travelled through Persia, Afghanistan, Mongolia and China. The path they took is now known as the Silk Route.
Marco Polo settled in Beijing, from where he led expeditions to other parts of China, the then Burma and India. He sailed back to Italy after exploring Singapore, Sumatra and India.
His 26-year-long journey is recorded in Livres des merveilles du monde or Book of the Marvels of the World.
Vasco Da Gama (1460-1524):
He was the first person to link Europe and Asia through sea routes. In 1498, Vasco Da Gama reached Calicut (now Kozhikode) in Kerala. This was the most significant event in the imperial history.
The Portuguese explorer had crossed the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean to reach 'the East'. This led to more sea voyages from all over Europe. He was also the first man to sail across the Cape of Good Hope.
