Option 1: Overland (Marco Polo’s Route) -Followed the Silk Road -Took over two years -Very dangerous and slow, hard to carry lots of stuff -Very expensive to pay for protection and workers to carry everything.

Option 3: Off the Edge (Columbus’ Plan) Columbus plans to sail west from Europe to India. He thinks the sea east of India is the same as the one west of Europe.
