The Essence of Exploration: Unraveling Journeys and Their Impact

Hosted By: Orange County Community Scholar Program (CSP)

Delve into the captivating stories of three ancient travelers who bridged cultures, religions, and geography through their intrepid journeys. Herodotus (450 BCE) revealed the shared humanity among diverse groups of people. Benjamin of Tudela (1150 CE) showcased the common bonds among Jews worldwide and their rich cultural differences, fostering a sense of global community. Ibn Battuta (1325 CE) embarked on a similar endeavor within the Arab Muslim world, driven by curiosity to explore, interact, and ultimately document his enlightening experiences.
