Marco Polo in Persia

Résumé

In three previous discussions, we investigated the travels of Marco Polo, with the help of Google Earth and Wikimapia. We reconstructed Polo's travels from Beijing to Xanadu, from Sheberghan to Kashgar, and from Kashgar to Xanadu. Here we propose Polo's travel in Persia. The place of a Mulehet Castle, close to Ferdows in the Tunocain county, is also evidenced. It is possible that Marco Polo was referring to this castle, the Ghal'eh Kuh of Ferdows, when he was reporting about the Old Man of the Mountain, and not to the Alamut Castle in the South Caspian province of Qazvin.
