    the St Thomas burial place in Mylapoor,


    modernday historians claim that marco polo was the first to link mylapore and st thomas.
    there are even unproved theories that marco polo( and even battuta for the matter) may have not travelled as widely as they claimed and may have based much of their stories on seamen tales.
