A sea is defined as a division of the ocean which is enclosed or partially enclosed by land. * Some ancient civilizations used the phrase 'seven seas' to describe the bodies of water known at that time. * The ancient Hindus, Chinese, Persians, Romans and more referred to the Seven Seas as completely different bodies of water. * The Hindus used the term "the Seven Seas" to refer to the bodies of water in the Punjab. * The Persians used the term "the Seven Seas" to refer to the streams forming the Oxus River. * The ancient Romans called a group of salt-water lagoons near Venice (Italy), the septem maria or Seven Seas. * Some geographers point to the Age of Discovery and suggest that the seven seas represent the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico. * Some folks will tell that the seven seas are the Arctic, the Antarctic, the North and South Pacific, the North and the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. * In European literature, the Seven Seas referred to the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Arabian Sea. * The Seven Seas as referenced in Medieval Arabian literature, the Persian Gulf ("Sea of Fars"), the Gulf of Khambhat ("Sea of Larwi"), the Bay of Bengal ("Sea of Harkand"), the Strait of Malacca ("Sea of Kalah"), the Singapore Strait ("Sea of Salahit"), the Gulf of Thailand ("Sea of Kardanj"), and the South China Sea ("Sea of Sanji"). * Most current sources state that "seven seas" referred to the Indian Ocean, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Adriatic Sea, Persian Gulf, Mediterranean Sea, and the Red Sea.
