Marco Polo and Ponce de Leon

My two explorers are Marco Polo and Ponce De Leon. Marco Polo was one of the most famous Hesperian travelers. He traveled across Asia. He sailed south from Venice, Italy in the Mediterranean Sea. He also explored an area south of Beijing and the coast of mainland China which is now Vietnam. Ponce de Leon sailed for Florida in the Americas. The primer coat why Marco Polo did his exploration was to determine all kinds of different goods to trade.He did this because he was learning about trading goods. He was able to find perfumes, jewels, porcelain, and silk garments. He made lots of money fleck he stayed in Khans court. Pone de Leons reason for his expedition was because he was hurt by the kings activity for making Columbus son governor so he sailed off. alike he reason was to find new lands and treasures. Another thing was the font of Youth, which was a mythical spring that the Indians spoke of.The Fountain of Youth was believed to score older people young again. Some of Marc os hardships came when he was traveling to the Gobi Desert. It was hard without camels and was very hot. It was also hard not having food or water. Some times Marco felt like he was in a dream because he would hear frightening sounds, he would see haunt figures of his friends, and was having weird illusions. Some of Ponce de Leons hardships that he faced where he was ambushed by the Calusa Tribe.He was ambushed by them on his way back to Florida to start a farming colony. He was shot in the thigh by an pointer and was seriously wounded, so they decided to sail back to Cuba. The result of Marcos expedition was that he ended up in prison because he was in war against the Genous and was captured. The result of Ponce de Leons expedition was that he never found the gold or the mythical fountain. Also he died at 61 because of he serious wound.
