Did They Finally Find the Lost City of Atlantis?

Was Atlantis a real place or just a fictional story? Where might it be located? Many have searched for the location of the lost city where a powerful civilization lived. But could they have been looking in the wrong place all this time? A recent report claims to have discovered the true location of Atlantis, and it’s nowhere near where you’d expect it to be!

SUMMARY:
- The idea of Atlantis was conceptualized by the Greek philosopher Plato, who wrote about it in two of his works, Timaeus and Critias.
- Atlantis was an extraordinary island in the Atlantic Ocean. As for the main city located there, its peculiarity was that it had concentric rings that alternated between water and land. The city was beautifully designed, had extravagant architecture, was home to kings and a strong military force, and was overall a marvel to behold.
- In essence, the legend of Atlantis tries to show that Athens was the most powerful state. It’s a story about a small but peaceful city (Athens) that triumphs over a powerful but corrupt one (Atlantis).
- It was a tale that was passed down from generation to generation: from Egyptian priests, to Solon, to Critias’ grandfather, to Critias himself, and finally to Socrates. If the story was real, information is bound to be lost, misinterpreted, or changed in some way.
- There are some theories that support the existence of Atlantis. According to Robert Ballard, the ocean explorer who discovered the wreckage of the Titanic, the story of Atlantis makes sense because similar things have happened to other civilizations.
- If the island was real, there are so many theories about its original location. Some have said it existed under Antarctica, on the coast of Spain, or somewhere in the Mediterranean.
- The Richat Structure, casually known as the “The Eye of the Sahara,” is a circular formation in the Earth located in Northwest Africa, in the country of Mauritania. And if you look at pictures that depict what the city of Atlantis might’ve looked like and compare them to the Richat Structure, you can’t deny the similarities!
- Now, there are differing ideas on how to interpret ancient units of measurement, but most sources put one stadium equal to anywhere from 607 to 630 feet. So, do the math and 127 of those would be about 15 miles.
- To support this claim is the fact that the Richat Structure is deeply eroded, meaning that great amounts of water must have created the formations that currently stand. Pictures of the coastal area of the region show what looks like water formations going from the coast to where the Richat Structure now stands.

Hey guys! Do you think Atlantis was real or it's just a myth?

[maoko]

You missed something.
11000 years ago (when Atlantis was lost) the Sahara probably was underwater. You can find shells, shipwrecks and even sharkskeletons in the middle of the Sahara so I really believe that it has been flooded but the Water disappeared in the many years.

and they gave no cred to bright insight...

[aaronkolatch]

Actually, the idea of Atlantis was not conceptualized by Plato. Atlantis was conceptualized by the Egyptians before Plato was even born.

*_-Lost-_* city of Atlantis... *nvm*



*_Found_* _city of Atlantis_

When I was a lot younger, I built Atlantis in Minecraft. I was very proud of it. Well, the thing is, I never finished it. However, sometimes I'll go into old Minecraft worlds, look around, and I'll see the ruins of that world underwater, which means I would commonly build those ruins in my world, even though I was the only one who'd ever know the importance of it to me. I think that's pretty cool on younger me's part.

So ... A channel called BRIGHT SIDE copied BRIGHT INSIGHT’S video?

[dvd]

Thank you for this video. I think the parts that you left out that are essential are:
1) The Greek father of History Herodotus made a map that showed the same region of West Africa where the Richat structure is located called “Atlantes” 🤔
2)The Mauritanians in ancient times were known as the Mauri people, and their first King was named Atlas. Atlantis according to Plato’s legendary account was founded by one of Posieden’s 10 children, named Atlas. 🤔
They could be coincidences alone, but when you put those things together with the other things that were mentioned in the video, it makes the argument stronger and worth looking into.

Also, why didn’t you all show the washed out land from the coast all the way up to the Richat structure? It certainly looks like the aftermath of a catastrophe (like a tsunami) unlike anything we’ve seen in modern history.

Whale skeleton in Sahara desert proving the sahara was an ocean: am I a joke to you?

[arsongamer]

BRUH YOU COPIED BRIGHT INSIGHTS VIDEO!!! Would you give them credit at least?

[unleashingpotential-psycho]

I would love to visit the lost city of Atlantis.

[mykulpierce]

You say "athens" a few times instead of Atlantis.

[angeladillinger]

Fascinating. I thought always it was off norther Morocco. The pillars of Hercules and have visited all this Atlantic coast . The Atlas Mountains also go south through Morocco. It makes sense that Atlantis was once in the sea and now in the desert as everything shifted. In the Rif mountains also in Morocco further north eg. While trekking high up I was shown salt pans. I have a piece of red crystal coloured by the soil which tastes of salt! Definitely this area has changed dramatically - sea to land. God bless Morocco

[mr.knightthedetective]

I do believe so Eye of Sahara was once Atlantis. At the time of Atlantis Eye of Sahara was connected with Atlantic ocean by a large river. Also around the same time Sahara was lush and not a desert. Atlantis might not have been sunken down but rather flooded.

Aquaman would be annoyed that you'll make a documentary without his permission 🤣

[thatoneguy]

The reason "Atlantis" that we found was because the water was at a higher level some thousand years ago, so Atlantis was surrounded by water which was known as an island but was actually part of africa. So when the waters dropped, more of the land became exposed. Because remember Plateau said that it came some thousand years before him. So waters could have changed during that time, thus "Atlantis" still being thought as an island. But it's all in how the water rises.

Watch Bright Insight's video about this. It's 2 part video. Very informative

[tottenhamhotspurish]

You stole this from Bright Insight.

You should give Bright Insight props.

[rond]

12, 800 years ago the earth was struck by a meteor. At that time the sea levels were 450 feet lower.  Climate in that area was much different.

[toxicmale]

The channel "Bright Insight" talks a lot of about this theory and continues to drop new ideas supporting this theory.
