Difference: Again in Afghanistan there was no way possible to get a car for Marco Polo 750 years ago and the two Americans did, when Marco Polo traveled there was no war yet, there was no conflict yet, but when Denis and Francis had traveled they were in the mist of the Civil War and it was dangerous.

Similarity: One similarity was that they both traveled on camel at some point, Marco Polo only knew that way to travel and the two Americans had no choice but to travel on the camels when the cars were no option.

Difference: When Marco Polo got to Balkh the people he was traveling with some were caught and sold to very dangerous groups and the rest hid, and when Denis and Francis got there a little kid pointed an AK 47 to them and the group they traveled with were caught but then later given a chance to survive when Francis gave a cigarette to one of the guys holding them captive.

Similarity: Marco Polo's group mates some where killed, sold and the rest hid. When the Americans got caught the people holding them captive didn't kill until something was done wrong.
