29:02Now PlayingThe journey of Marco Polo, famous venitian merchant who in the 13th century travelled from Europe to China, and met with emperor Khubilai of the mongol Yuan dynasty, is one the most famous stories of humanity. However, in complete parallel to Marco Polo, one religious adventurer born in China, would accomplish the exact opposite, travelling to Europe and meeting several famous khans, kings, and even the pope. This is the story of Rabban Bar Sauma.
