The fоllоwing pаssаge is аn excerpt frоm Marco Polo in the book Travels to describe China's Imperial Palace: "You must know that it is the greatest Palace that ever was... The roof is very lofty, and the walls of the Palace are all covered with gold and silver. They are also adorned with representations of dragons [sculptured and gilt], beasts and birds, knights and idols, and sundry other subjects. And on the ceiling too you see nothing but gold and silver and painting. [On each of the four sides there is a great marble staircase leading to the top of the marble wall, and forming the approach to the Palace.]" "The hall of the Palace is so large that it could easily dine vast, so rich, and so beautiful, that no man on earth could design anything superior to it. The outside of the roof also is all colored with vermilion and yellow and green and blue and other hues, which are fixed with a varnish so fine and exquisite that they shine like crystal, and lend a resplendent lustre to the Palace as seen for a great way round. This roof is made too with such strength and solidity that it is fit to last forever." Travel accounts like this influenced an explorer like Christopher Columbus. What does this tell us about European explorers' motivations and goals?
