The Sea of <\/strong>A<\/strong>zov, <\/strong>formerly known as Palus Maeotis, is a northern extension of the Black Sea bound by the Russian Federation and Ukraine<\/a>.*<\/span>It is claimed as the world’s shallowest sea and in ancient times was known as the Moetic Swamp\/Sea\/Lake.*<\/span><\/span><\/span>It is the shallowest sea in the world having an average depth of 13 metres.

Palus Maeotis or Maeotian Marshes was the ancient name for where the River Don entered the Sea of Azov, then known as the Maeotian Lake.<\/p>\n

For some comic relief, a recent book[<\/sup>138<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup> by the late \u2018Flying Eagle\u2019 and \u2018Whispering Wind\u2019\u00a0 introduced benign alien astronauts to the subject and claimed to have identified the Sea of Azov as the resting place of Atlantis. Included in their theory is the idea that the waters of the Black Sea burst through the Bosporus into the Aegean Sea rather than the other direction as proposed by Ryan & Pitman<\/a>[<\/sup>025<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>. They also tell us(<\/sup>a<\/sup>)<\/sup> that a scientist named Xoah from the planet Xylanthia decided to create a new species that eventually evolved to\u00a0rule the Empire of Atlantis.<\/p>\n
