Is the Eye of the Sahara Atlantis?

Very interesting....

This is the Eye of Africa







Richart Structure

Initially interpreted as an asteroid impact structure because of its high degree of circularity, the Richat Structure is now regarded by geologists as a highly symmetrical and deeply eroded geologic dome. After extensive field and laboratory studies, no credible evidence has been found for shock metamorphism or any type of deformation indicative of a hypervelocity extraterrestrial impact.[6] While coesite, an indicator of shock metamorphism, had initially been reported as being present in rock samples collected from the Richat Structure, further analysis of rock samples concluded that barite had been misidentified as coesite.[7] In addition, the Richat Structure lacks the annular depression that characterizes large extraterrestrial impact structures of this size.

So it's not an impact crater. You can see in the land formation obviously there was a massive flood which as stated in the video is probably from the younger dryas impact. This is to amazing and interesting for me not to share. Atlantis is probably my favorite alternative topic overall.

What do you think?

The mods can delete mine, only interested in seeing dioscussion

I don't care either I just want to see what people think I would really love to go there.

I think the time frames conflict. Plato's timeline, and the event that gave rise to this curiosity of geological activity.
No, I don't think it's the Atlantis Plato wrote of. BUT, many would argue the point that it was..

Interesting OP

the ariel view of the west coast of Africa headed towards the eye is very interesting it's almost like they are related

give it a break

It looks like there certainly were upheavals in ancient times. I try to picture the Eye to the coast underwater, it don't work for me.. Seems Africa's main geographic anomaly is the Rift Valley and the rift itself. Also, aerial views were not possible before the early 1900's.

We obviously watch the same youtube channel and wanted to share that with ATS members to get their thoughts.

Answer the question. How is it possible two completely independent posters posted about an identical thing with 3 minutes of each other?

Even though I responded at the same time as glend (before seeing his answer), I still don't buy the "answer". I will not continue to post in this thread, but let me just say that I'm about as awake as can be and no one can stop me....and I REALLY know the reason.

Let's continue over here ...

Is the Richat Structure, the Eye of Sahara, the remains of Atlantis
