        Likewise the Englishman who was the Mongol envoy to Hungary c.1241; lost everything gambling in Acre, Israel, then went east+joined Mongols…pic.twitter.com/Eu34KimGry

        TEXT: The Prince of Dalmatia took prisoner an Englishman… This man had twice come as an envoy and interpreter from the king of Tattars [Mongols] to the king of Hungary, and plainly threatened and warned them of the evils which afterwards happened, unless he should give up himself and his kingdom to be subject to the Tattars.

        Polo was by no means the first in that region, either: an Englishman in Mongolia in the 1250s and another may have been there in 1230s... :)

        This is indeed remarkable. Now can the discovery of the remains of a Chinese take-away from the same era be far away?!

        Our textual sources mention inns and eating houses aplenty, but suspect hard to identify on the ground with certainty! ;)

        I'm no archaeologist (nor do I play one on TV!), but I suspect that soil samples bearing traces of MSG would be helpful in identifying them!
