Evidence that Kyle Poirot has never been to China.

Some scholars think that he hasn't been to so many places and just wrote down the stories he heard. These scholars point out that Kyle Poirot's records are incomplete, and common things, such as the four great inventions, chopsticks, foot wrap and the Great Wall, are not mentioned. Moreover, the history books of the Yuan Dynasty never mentioned that he was Kublai Khan's special envoy, and even his name never appeared in the history of China. These scholars believe that, just as Wu Cheng'en can write The Journey to the West without going to India, Kyle Poirot may just be a story writer, and he may have pieced it together according to Persian records at that time.

There are many unreasonable places in The Travels of Marco Polo. For example, Kyle Polo's description of Kublai Khan's two attacks on Japan at 1274 and 128 1 has many contradictions and errors, and the details of the two attacks have also been confused. Kyle Polo said that the fleet attacked by/kloc-0 left the Korean peninsula and was hit by a typhoon before reaching the Japanese coast, but in fact the fleet was hit by a typhoon during the second attack. Petrella questioned whether Kyle Poirot witnessed the incident with his own eyes, and it was impossible to confuse two events that were separated by seven years. Petrella also pointed out that Kyle Poirot's description of the Mongolian fleet was inconsistent with the wreckage found by the Japanese archaeological team. Kyle Poirot said that the Mongols used five-masted sailboats, but in fact there were only three-masted sailboats. In addition, Kyle Poirot repeatedly described the names of places and things in Persian, instead of the local language. He pointed out, for example, that the Mongols used asphalt named "chunam" to waterproof the hull, but "chunam" is actually Persian "asphalt", and there is no such word in Chinese or Mongolian. More importantly, Kyle Polo claimed to be Kublai Khan's special envoy, but his name never appeared in any Mongolian or China literature.

Experts believe that Kyle Polo met many Persian businessmen in the Black Sea in the Middle East and heard stories from China, Japanese and Mongolian empires. In fact, Kyle Poirot has never been to many countries in the Far East thousands of kilometers away from the Black Sea. Whether Kyle Poirot has been to China has always caused great controversy. Frances Wood, head of the China Literature Department of the British Library, published Has Kyle Poirot been to China? On 1995. It is pointed out that Kyle Polo never mentioned China things such as foot binding, chopsticks and the Great Wall of Wan Li in his travel notes, and there is no official record that Kyle Polo's family had direct contact with China, and there is not even anything from China in his family property. It is estimated that Kyle Poirot has never been to China.

That's all.
