The article put a the northern boundary of the newly created Gulf at Mesopotamia, there was no Persia then o be called after, the Arabs at that time were Semites who spoke Aramaic, so the Gulf at that time should be called the Aramaic Gulf according to the context of that time.. perhaps after the arrival of the Persian empire it was named the Persian Sea or Gulf at the same time as there was a Roman sea_most likely the actual Mediterranean sea..
So, please do not be lost in conjunctures and lose the essence of the article.. since its historical meanings are more important than its title _that I wouldn't have used myself_

In his post# 83 has linked the Indian ocean flooding of that area to the biblical event known as Noah flood..
Which is rather an interesting perspective.. much more to the point and much more interesting than debating the name of the Gulf which is irrelevant for the rest of the article..
Some scholars believe that Caspian sea and Dead sea were huge fresh water lakes before the flood event. But with the Noah flood event, sea water poured into the lakes from Mediterranean side and possibly from the South as well to form these lakes into seas. Scientific study around their basins does indicates about the mega flooding occurred around 7000-6000 BC.
