If you were some kind of god, what would you be? What would you change or create about Earth?
lyudmila [28]
I would...be the goddess of pain and suffering. Although that sounds negative, I could actually clear up a lot of junk in the world when you think about it. If I eliminated the pain of those that don't deserve it, or fix a certain life problem for someone, or a whole group of people, I could fix so much in the world. (That's just one idea, lol I can send you other ones or add more detail to this one if you'd want)

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

  • There are plenty of giraffes and wild asses on the islands.
  • The wild boars on the island are as big as buffaloes, with 14 lb tusks.
  • The gryphon birds are monstrous in size.

The Travels of Marco Polo is a 13th-century chronicle written down by Rustichello da Pisa. It retells the stories of Marco Polo regarding his travels through Asia between 1271 and 1295. There is some debate over the authenticity of the fabulous stories. However, the consensus is that the stories are, for the most part, accurate depictions of Asia during the Middle Ages.
