While I was reading it , I came across a word which was strange to me . It was the name of a gulf ( Arabian Gulf ), but I wasn't able to figure out where it was , until I did some research . Having done that , I found this valuable information about it : An 1842 German map of Middle East by Landshut, Vogel http://www.alte-landkarten.de/htdocs/woda/data/demo/images/16704-01.jpg According to this map , it's the ancient name of the current " Red Sea " . But I wondered , because your article was up to date ! So I had to continue my research , I searched it in an encyclopedia and here is what I found : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Gulf http://web.mit.edu/isg/persiangulffactsheet.pdf So finally I came to a conclusion , and that is you have used an incorrect name for this gulf . Since it was an important issue and I wanted to be sure about the name , I decided to check the name in an international organization . Fortunately I found some in the United Nations' documents : http://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/map/profile/mideastr.pdf http://www.un.org/Depts/Cartographic/map/profile/qatar.pdf http://unstats.un.org/unsd/geoinfo/gegn23wp61.pdf http://www.parstimes.com/library/uned_persian_gulf.pdf All the above proves it to be the " Persian Gulf " . So could I possibly ask you to kindly reconsider the name you have chosen for this gulf ? By the way, I have also heard that this name ( Sinus Persicus = Persian Gulf ) was also used by Greek sailors who entered this waterway . So let us respect the history . Thanking you in anticipation.
