Apparently, from 1221 A. D. onward for some centuries
the Oxus bifurcated at certain times, one stream flowing to
the Sea of Aral and one to the Caspian. Hamdulla, who has
just been quoted, distinctly mentions such a bifurcation.
He adds that the Sea of Aral had a compass of one hundred
parasangs, from which it appears that the diversion of part
of the Oxus had not materially diminished the lake. A cen-
tury later, a Persian writer, Sultan Shah Rukh, in whom
Rawlinson puts much confidence, tells us that "in all ancient
books the lake of Kharesm [Aral] is described as the recep-
tacle of the waters of the Oxus, but at the present date,
which is A. H. 820 [A. D. 1417], the lake no longer exists, the
Jhelum [Oxus] having made a way for itself to the Caspian,
into which it disembogues at a place called Karlawn, or
Ak-richeh." Elsewhere Shah Rukh repeats this assertion.
He further says that "the river of Khojend [the Jaxartes] in
the lower part of its course, after passing into the desert of
Kharesm, joins the Jyhun or Oxus, and thus ultimately
reaches the Caspian." Rawlinson takes this to mean that
the Jaxartes followed the old channel already referred to,
branching southwest below Otrar and joining the Oxus below
Khiva, and that the united streams flowed to the Caspian
through the Uz-boi, or old channel of the Oxus at the foot
of the Ust-Urt plateau. If this is so, the Caspian ought to
have stood at a comparatively high level, as apparently it
did, to judge from the following quotation from Brückner:
"Bakui informs us that early in the fifteenth century the sea
swallowed up a part of the former city of Baku, and that in
his time the water stood at the level of a still existing mosque.
Apparently, we have here to do with an expansion of the sea
