Fig. 1 in Quaternary time scales for the Pontocaspian domain: Interbasinal connectivity and faunal evolution
Fig. 1. Ancient map of the Pontocaspian region after Kircher (1678), who in his "Mundus Subterraneus" already envisaged that the Caspian Basin must have been connected to the open ocean to explain its relatively high salinity (> 10 ‰) today. The Caspian Sea is in fact an isolated long-lived lake since at least 2.6 Ma. Kircher considered a subterraneous channel to the Persian Gulf for the marine connection. The location of this marine connection is still enigmatic today.
