@WalstonBrett Bro but can Marco Polo say he was able to get a nuke on Rust on Free For All on Modern Warfare 2??? I think not #ch1002 #ch1203 #mrcopolo

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

Polo's view about other cultures is something people can learn from today. Seeing everything as a learning lesson and being able to take something from anything that comes your way can allow for a lot more awareness about other cultures to just flow in #ch1002 #ch1203 #mrcopolo

@B_A_Southworth @AlighchiMatthew This freedom is so cool because it allows kids to find out things and learn to be independent at such a young age #ch1002 #ch1203 #mrcopolo

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

I love how age is looked upon in this reading and how different it is from our contemporary view of age indicating one's maturity when in reality just because you're old doesnt not equate being wise #ch1002 #ch1203 #mrcopolo

@medievalbrentin @medievalsarah homie must be pretty damaged to be able to retain the information of some of the darkest parts of Hell #divc0m #ch1002 #ch1203

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

How descriptive Dante describes Hell is really interesting, describing how he is already inside and he says how he still needs to go deeper insinuating that Hell is really really really deep in the pit #divc0m #ch1002 #ch1203

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

If hell is real then we are all kind of screwed because all of the things Dante described is something that almost all, if not all, people have done or are guilty of #divc0m #ch1002 #ch1203

@B_A_Southworth I'd honestly be a little devastated just like when i found out santa wasnt real #ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

@medievalsarah i feel like he may have had some fungi help with it all #ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

I feel like mandeville may have had a pouch of magical mushrooms for everything this man saw in all the places he went #ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

It almost looks like mandevile got bum rushed by a bunch of mythical things who just told them all about themselves specifically for a book 🤔#ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

While writing this as a travel narrative, Mandaville had to probably still think through the lens that he needed to capture his audience and so he included some pretty over the top description and events #ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

I wonder what Manaville had to have seen for him to write about "giant ants" on golden hills #ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

Traveling and writing about different cultures had to have been insane without the internet since you arent able to look up anything about it before hand. #ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

Id be a little surprised if there wasn't SOME kind of truth to any of the mythical creatures that exist in this story. maybe not even that they were true but maybe they just did some crazy psychedelics #ch1002 #ch1203 #mand3v1ll3

@allydin11 Legend or not King Arthur was a complete badass being a 15 year old king that was surrounded by magic and dragons #brutchron #ch1002 #ch1203

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

At 15 I was probably yelling at noobs playing Call of Duty. While King Arthur was 15 he was ruling a whole kingdom. sounds about right #brutchron #ch1002 #ch1203

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

I love as we get more and more recent with the texts that they start to reference one another #brutchron #ch1202 #ch1002

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

Highkey super glad Angie is alright and Georgia looks healthy #islmtrvl #ch1002 #ch1203

[Eldrian Oliver @OliverEldrian]

@RaiNooN Big oofs bro. I couldn't eat while reading this text honestly #islmtrvl #ch1002 #ch1203
