Ever since we mentioned him in the Mali series, we've been dying to talk about Battuta. As expected from a guy who wrote a 1000 page travelogue, Ibn Battuta's story is very cool, but the dude has 0 chill.

Ibn Battuta - The Great Traveler - Extra History - #1

Ibn Battuta set out for the city of Mecca and expected to be gone for a little over two years, maybe three if he took his time. He had no way of knowing that he would not see his home city or town for another 24 years. In that time, he will have traveled almost the entirety of the Islamic world, gone for over 75,000 miles, and write a travelogue that scholars still refer to understand the world of the 15th century. He's also a bit of a narc.

Coincides with me starting the BBC's Around The World In 80 Days starring Michael Palin, as well as, as mentioned before, lambing season. [no lambs yet, but we have had a Calf and a litter of piglets so far.]

700 years later, and we still have judge-y Battutas in the world

When last mentioned, Ibn Battuta was the 14th century equivalent of an obnoxious tourist. Now that he's got his own series, he seems also like the 14th century equivalent of Hugh Hefner. I'd say Jayanegara as well, but Battuta wasn't interested in his step-sisters.

Really hyped for this series!

I tried looking up the book on Amazon and there was no ebook version.

IDidn't you already do a series on Ibn Batuta? Still worth looking again. This is great, and I love your sense of humor. :D
