Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of
Marco Polo and study the map.
[This] is an island lying about 1,000 miles south of
Socotra. The people are Saracens who worship
Mahomet. They have four sheikhs-that is to say, four
elders who exercise authority over the whole island.
You must know that this island is one of the biggest and
best in the whole world. It is said to measure about
4,000 miles in circumference. The people live by trade
and industry. More elephants are bred here than in any
other province; and I assure you that not so many
elephant tusks are sold in all the rest of the world put
together as in this island and that of Zanzibar.
