Persischer Golf <-> Arabischer Golf

[Shahab3]

Naja, wie stichhaltig Deine Quelle -wikipedia- :laugh: ist, sollte Dir eigentlich bekannt sein. Auch und insbesondere der Inhalt ist geradezu haartsräubend.
Ich erwähnte bereits, dass schon Herodot (kleiner Tip : der lebte vor Alexander )
bereits über den "Persischen Golf" und den "Arabischen Golf" -heute als Rotes Meer bekannt- schrieb. Und die römner bezeicheten den Perischen Golf ebenfalls als "Sinus Persicus". Erwarte aber bitte icht von mir, dass ich mir jetzt deshalb nen Account bei Wikipedia anlege, um das zu korrigieren :rofl:

Wenn Ihr mir nur noch mitteilt, wie die Deutsche Hydrographische Gesellschaft (DHyG) in der Sonderpublikation Nr. 23 der Internationalen Hydrographischen Organisation mit dem Titel "Grenzen der Ozeane und Meere" den Golf bezeichnet, werde ich mich künftig da drann halten.

Ich erwähne es gerne nochmal : Wo und wie Du in Deinen Texten, oder Beiträgen was genau bezeichnen möchtest, steht hier nicht zur Debatte und ist ziemlich nebensächlich.

In possibly every map printed before 1960 and in most modern international treaties, documents and maps this body of water is known by the name "Persian Gulf", reflecting traditional usage since the Greek geographers Strabo and Ptolemy and the geopolitical realities of the time with a powerful Persian Empire (= Iran) comprising the whole northern coastline and a scattering of local emirates on the Arabian coast. But by the 1960s and with the rise of Arab nationalism, some Arab countries, including the ones bordering the Persian Gulf, started to use the Arabic term (al-Khaleej al-Arabee; Arab Gulf or Arabian Gulf) to refer to this waterway.

Until the end of the 19th century, "Arabian Gulf" has been used to refer to what is now known as the Red Sea. This usage was adopted into Europeans maps from, among others, Strabo and Ptolemy who called the Red Sea, Sinus Arabicus (Arabian Gulf). Both of these Greek geographers reserved "Persian Gulf" to refer to the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. In early Islamic era, Muslim geographers did the same, calling the body (Khalij Faris; Persian Gulf). Later, most European maps from the early Modern Times onwards used similiar terms (Sinus Persicus, Persischer Golf, Golfo di Persia and the like different languages) when referring to the Persian Gulf, possibly taking the name from the Islamic sources. For a short while in the 17th century, the term "Gulf of Basra" was also being used, which made a reference to Basra, an important trading port of the time.
...
The United Nations on many occasions has requested that only "Persian Gulf" be used as the standard geographical designation for that body of water. Most recently, the UN secretariat has issued two editorial directives in 1994 and 1999 affirming the position of this organization on this matter.

Ich denke das müsste reichen, um die Sache klarzustellen und Dich mit Deinen Waffen (Wikipedia & Co. ) zu schlagen :evil:
