Did a quick google: Marco Pole seems to be a porn producer or actor. Should we link him to Poland, what do you think? :)

How? Was he a slav? But thats just near... I meant....absolute Pole :)
some say that he was Serb from Korcula island (Dalmatian coast). In that case his real name was probably Marko Polovina what is italianized Marco Polo
Some other say that he was Croat. But never mind because those others say also that Molise and Lusatian Serbs are in fact Croats. Its from repertoire of `croatization`
In any case he was Slavic and so linked to Poland.
see, i linked him with Poland. What more do you want? Sarmats are Sarmats

Hahaha, Crow, I was just about to write that this was probably what you were going to say. You're priceless, Crow and highly entertaining. Never mind that it's nonsense, it's very amusing to read. Keep up the good work!

sure. Many Serbs were italianized. Its just soooo(op) funny and situation is absolutely nonsensical
Crow
They were, yes. But Marco Polo was probably not one of them as the common census among historians is that he was born in the city of Venice itself, not in the state of Venice. If he were born in the state of Venice there is a pssblity that he might have been Serbian, however, that is unlikely.

The Statute of Korèula was first drafted in 1214. This legal document is the second oldest example of legislation among Slavs, with only the Russkaya Pravda of 11th and 12th Century Russia predating it.It guaranteed the autonomy of the island, apart from her outside rulers - Grand Principality of Raška (Serbian land), semi-independent Great Principality of Zahumlje (Serbian land) and the Republics of Ragusa (read Dubrovnik, that time Serbian land) and Venice.

According to a local tradition, Marco Polo was born at Korèula in 1254 to an established family of merchants, although there is no irrefutable proof of this claim. What is more definite however is that the Republic of Genoa defeated Venice in the documented Battle of Korèula off the coast of Korèula in 1298 and a galley commander, Marco Polo, was taken prisoner by the victors to eventually spend his time in a Genoese prison writing of his travels. However, some Italian scholars believe that he may have been captured in a minor clash near Ayas (in sources from those times: Laiazzo). The controversy over the birthplace of Marco Polo between the Venetian and Korèulan theories is the subject of debate up to the present day.

No, they were civilised. Once they have at least a 50/50 chance of not being spotted as neanderthals, they are no longer Serbs.
yes, you must be right
although there is no irrefutable proof of this claim.
That's actually the most important part of the text. That's what I said as well. There is no proof as such. The fact that he was a commander of a ship, doesn't automatically mean that he's from the area. So I guess we will never know for sure.
Another theory is that Marco Polo never went to Asia. That he heard stories of travelling merchants who did and he just made their stories his own. Actually I read something about that some time ago. Can't remember where, however, I will have a look at it and post it once I found it.
