Views on Marco Polo
According to Faik Bulut, what Marco Polo wrote about Order of Assassins does not reflect the truth and what he told in his memoirs: According to Bulut all of the above claims are false, and the opinions of other scientists also support him in this regard. According to Bulut, it had been 15 years since Alamut Castle was destroyed by Mongols at the time Marco Polo claimed to have gone there. Bulut emphasizes that Polo's writings are only legends he heard from sailors while in prison in Italy. == Journalism ==
