Original Note:
Ibn Battuta's Rihla was dictated years after his travels, not written during them. His shipwreck story lacks corroboration in primary sources. Claims he traveled "farther than all combined" can't be verified - Marco Polo's ~15,000 miles serve as a benchmark. https://www.worldhistory.org/Ibn_Battuta/ https://archive.org/details/travels-of-ibn-battuta https://orias.berkeley.edu/resources-teachers/travels-ibn-battuta
