Arabs oppose renaming the Red Sea as the Eritrean Sea

("Erythrean Sea" redirects here. For the ancient name of the Red Sea, see Red Sea.)

Why are Muslim Arabs opposing naming of the current Red Sea by its original and historical name the Eritrean Sea? The Arabs and the world have accepted The Persian Sea or the Persian Gulf but not the Eritrean Sea. Arab nations are still officially named by their historical names, such as Egypt, Syria ... Why are the Arabs so selfish to oppose and the Arab Abid Concubine slaves are afraid to assert their historical rights? Why do the Arab slaves of the Horn of Africa cower in front of the Arabs?


The Erythraean Sea (Ancient Greek: Ἐρυθρὰ Θάλασσα, Erythrà Thálassa, lit. 'Red Sea') was a former maritime designation that always included the Gulf of Aden, and at times other seas between Arabia Felix and the Horn of Africa. Originally an ancient Greek geographical designation, the term was used throughout Europe until the 18th and 19th centuries. The area referred to by this name frequently extended beyond the Gulf of Aden—as in the famous 1st-century Periplus of the Erythraean Sea—to designate all of the present-day Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf, and Indian Ocean as a single maritime area.[1]
