The first time I came across #KublaiKhan / #SamuelTaylorColeridge was when I was playing a computer game based on #TheFourthProtocol by #FrederickForsyth back in the 80s. The first line of the poem is used in-game to encode a message that you have to decipher.

I went into school & spoke to my English teacher who was kind enough to photocopy the entire poem for me, which in the end I didn't actually need.

I really hated the rat in a maze bit, oh & was disappointed to be unable to visit Riga (:*

Just reminded of something while watching TV.

Did anyone ever find out who that person from Porlock was‽:*

Also wondering if I've asked this already‽;*

The link has some possible options, and also mentions a theory that the person didn't exist and #SamuelTaylorColeridge made them up to explain how fragmentary #KublaiKhan is.

That was worth a dig (;*

#Geschichte #China
(1215 n.Chr.)

#Heutevor 807 Jahren endete die Belagerung von #Peking durch die Mongolen unter #DschingisKhan.

(Temüdschin, Tatarisch
"der Schmied")

Die Eroberer richteten ein Blutbad in der Bevölkerung an und machten die Stadt beinahe dem Erdboden gleich.

Erst unter Dschingis Khans Enkel #KublaiKhan, seit 1271 Kaiser von China, wurde Zhongdu unter dem Namen Khanbalik wiederaufgebaut.

@onlmaps I'd never realised that #MarcoPolo met #KublaiKhan in his capital north of the Great Wall.
