Was Marco Polo a crass example of a man using 'Middle Class Privilege' to establish himself as an 'Explorer' when likely Hundreds of poorer Italians, Europeans and Asians would've already traversed the Silk Road and seen the 'sites' but cos they had a JOB they'd neither time nor energy to record?	0
Why do Armenians never confront Iran regarding its historical 'Genocide' against the Armenians? Is it because its so far back in History that no one cares anymore?	0
Please can you list the the locations of surviving Roman ruins/Sites in any Balkan countries bordering the Adriatic: Croatia, Montenegro, Albania etc [Roman sites only NOT Byzantine sites]	0
