	Marco Polo
		Everybody EXCEPT the "marco" (or 'it') was allowed to get out of the pool AS LONG AS they had one body part in the water.
		This most popular of swimming games owes it's name to the Venetian explorer of the late 1200s and early 1300s whose travels to China, India and other parts of Asia helped to introduce the "mysterious Orient" to Western Europe.
		Legend says that Marco Polo did not know where he was going when he first set out on his travels- hence the game's name.

		Marco Polo (1254 - January 8 1324) was a Venetian merchant and explorer who, together with his father and uncle, was among the first Westerners to travel the Silk Road to China (which he called Cathay).
		Marco Polo is also believed to have described a bridge that was the site of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, a battle that marked the beginning of the Japanese invasion of north central China in World War II.
		Although the Polos were by no means the first Europeans to reach China overland (see for example Giovanni da Pian del Carpini), thanks to Marco's book their trip was the first to be widely known, and the best-documented until then.

	Marco Polo
		Marco was the first to reveal China in its wealth and vastness.
		Marco's account of game management and conservation, as practiced by the Khan, is strikingly similar to our present-day methods.
		This is that they may increase and multiply; and, as the breach of this r is attended with punishment, game of every description increases prodigiously." Marco also describes the Khan's game preserves, his system of planting millet and other grain as food and cover for pheasants and quails.

		But the historical Polo was a fascinating man who, at 17, left his native Venice to embark on a series of journeys with his father and uncle in 1271, not to return for 24 years.
		Grade 4-7-- Young Marco Polo tells his own story, in diary format, from 1271 when he, his father, and his uncle sailed from Venice until their return some 24 years and many adventures later.
		It is a weakness in the execution of the convention, however, that even though the entries span over 20 years, the diarist's voice remains that of a young, naive lad throughout, and not the convincing portrait of a successful businessman and diplomat.

	Marco Polo
		The Marco Polo was a true oddity of the clipper ship era when she had arrived in Liverpool the second time around, this time 35 days out of Mobile, Alabama, with a load of cotton.
		Following her February 1851 launching, the Marco Polo was blown over on the far bank of Marsh Creek, where the receding tide left her stranded upon a mud bank for two weeks until much digging and an unusually high tide freed her.
		The length of the Marco Polo from stem to stern (inside measurement) is 185 feet; her beam is 38 feet; her depth of hold from the coamings 30 feet.

		I’m talking about the underwater game that chooses one unlucky (and potentially unliked) person to be blindfolded, shoved into the deep end of a pool, then challenged to walk around in that pool, with water potentially lapping up and over their head, while they yell Marco!
		Now we have two kids totally playing together in a game of Marco Polo except there’s no water, no blindfolds, no fear of drowning and instead we have food, drink, TV and a well-informed pair of buddies who know what shows are starting when.
		Never heard of that game until I moved to the States, now every summer the pool is filled with kids screaming “Marco Polo.” Makes me want to run out and drown the noisy buggers.

		Voorstanders van de Tibetaanse theorie gebruiken de beschrijvingen van de Marco Polo over de zeer grote Tibetaanse honden als een bewijs dat de Tibetaanse Mastiffs de echte Molossers zijn, waarbij men Polo’s beschrijvingen vergelijkt met de grote honden die worden voorgesteld op de Assyrische reliëfs.
		Supporters of the Tibetan theory use the descriptions of Marco Polo about the very big Tibetan dogs as proof that the Tibetan Mastiff are the real Molossers, in which they compare Marco Polo’s descriptions to the big dogs that are depicted on the Assyrian relieves.
		Today, however, there is not one breed that fits that description… The supporters of the Tibetan theory also claim that the dog on the plate of Niniveh, which dates from 580 BC, is a Tibetan Mastiff brought in from the mountains to the valley.
