What and Where are the
Seven Seas? The Seven Seas is a figurative term referring to all the seas and oceans of the world and the correct answer to the question depends on whom you ask, or what reference material you use. Many experts and encyclopedias will list the modern Seven Seas as the: Arctic Antarctic North and South Atlantic North and the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean During the Age of Discovery (1450-1650), some list the Seven Seas as the then seven navigable seas of the world: Atlantic Arctic Indian and Pacific Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico While others disagree and report the ancient Seven Seas to be the: Mediterranean Sea Red Sea Black Sea Adriatic Sea Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean And it doesn't end there.... The ancient Hindus, Chinese, Persians, Romans and more referred to the Seven Seas as completely different bodies of water.
