What Are the Seven Seas?
When we talk of the "Seven Seas", we use a phrase that old-time sailors used to describe all the seas and oceans of the world. Some people think that the Seven seas are the North and South Pacific, North and South Atlantic, the Arctic, the Antarctic and the Indian Oceans. But the phrase doesn't really describe these oceans. In ancient times, people called the following the Seven Seas: the Bay of Bengal, the South China Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
