裡海

Etymology
Literally "inland sea" or "inland lake", attested in the book 《海國聞見錄》 (An Account of Seas and Lands) by the 18th-century naval officer Chen Lunjiong.

Chen's account contained numerous anachronisms and inaccuracies such as the supposed drainage from Persia. Nevertheless, later Chinese geographers such as (魏源) and He Qiutao  quoted extensively from Chen. He Qiutao correctly identified the lake as truly endorheic.
