There was an area called the land between five seas referring to West Asia (Middle East) of today. The five are Black Sea

Mediterranean Sea

Red Sea

Persian Gulf

Caspian Sea.

Together with Ionian & Adriatic Seas (as one sea) part of Mediterranean Sea far from the Levant and Arabian Sea, an arm of Indian Ocean, are the seven seas.

Answer 3

North Sea, Irish Sea, Black Sea, Arabian Sea, South China Sea, Red Sea, Tasmanian Sea, maybe? Caspian Sea doesn't count because it's inland.

Answer 4

1. Black Sea

2. Caspian Sea

3. Red Sea

4. Mediterranean Sea (including the Adriatic and Aegean Seas)

5. Arabian Sea

6. Persian Gulf

7. Indian Ocean (even tho' it's not a sea, it's part of Arabian Sea in the location these seas are discussing)

It's origin is Greek and Roman, but it also came about when Arabians said whoever wanted to go to China had to cross the 7 seas, talking about the above area.
