The TRUTH About the Richat Structure #historicaltidbits

#shorts #history #myths
The Richat Structure in Mauritania, Africa. Also known as the Eye of the Sahara. It's 28 miles long and often claimed (falsely) that it's the remnants of the lost city of Atlantis by pseudoscientific YouTube channels. This is actually former dome caused by volcanic forces that eroded away from wind and water after millions of years when the Sahara Desert was still green.

I find the Atlantis claim a lot more realistic than yours due to the substantial historical ties to this area being linked to King Atlas of Atlantis....

[Potatopops]

As a geologist. Thats nonsense. I wholeheartedly believe it really is Atlantis. No natural phenomenon will create such a structure

[poolplayergus]

Never mind the Atlas mountains to the north. Atlas was the first ruler of Atlantis.

Troy was found by people with the fortitude to follow their instincts and ignore people who wanted to be considered experts

[Timshot]

My first question would be was there lakes and rivers near the structure that could sustain a population

Any peer reviewed literary source on the magamatic upwelling at this location?

[medcognome]

And why do not investigate each posibilities?

[haytonism]

Nah, I'll indulge in the fantastical.

[namansinghnegi]

That is how the ancient aliens used to construct cities...they used to construct magma domes using their alien tech then remove the top part of such dome...😂/s
Thanks for the explanation though...

A mountain wore away from the wind! Poppycock! Utter twaddle! Show me another example of a domed mountian being worn away flat from the weather? I think it's more likely the spot of a giant whirlpool when the oceans rolled over the land during a pole shift. But I'm just a mushroom.

I mean Atlantis would have existed like 30, 000-10, 000 years ago or something like that, so why can’t it have both been Atlantis and a geological phenomenon? Just a thought

[DominicoGuitars]

Lets just marvel..huh? They could've buit Atlantis on this 'upwelling".

[billyjojimbob]

Unfortunately, it is the blind arrogance of people like you, and academics, who are constantly proven wrong, that narrow the exploration of truth in this world..

[jaybrooks]

Where are the artifacts and megalithic structures?

[MatchesMalone]

It doesn't really disprove that it's not Atlantis. This just suggests that the rings are naturally formed, which Atlantis could've then been built on top of lol
