Marco Polo never mentioned a phone number in his famous travelogue, but some people believe he did not use a cell phone because it would have been too easy to track him down. Some historians believe that Marco Polo never left his home country of China for fear of being tracked down and captured by the Mongols, who were then able to take him to Japan and beyond. So if you’re wondering whether or not Marco Polo ever used a cell phone, the answer is probably not.
