Marco left for China with his father and Uncle he was 17. It took them three years to get to China. When they got there Marco started to work for Kublai Khan. The Polo's got very rich in China. When the Polo's left China Marco was in his 40's. When they came home their friends wouldn't believe it was really the Polo's, but the Polo's showed them the riches they had brought back home with them from China and then they believed it was them! Marco Polo is called the Father of Geography.
