The human race once came dangerously close to dying out — here's how it changed us
As to how the reversal took place, as I stated, must have been done mechanically, as in controlled contact with a large body. And again, I have shown evidence that supports that contention that points directly at the moon. But look at it this way, if the moon was artificial, intelligently manned, and guidable, it would be the perfect candidate for Planetary Terraforming.
Now, if you want to go back in time there are records that indicate the Sun used to rise in the west.

The issue here is, anyone who could build something the size of the Moon and have it be a kind of space ship, would have to have so many resources at their disposal, that nothing humanity did for them by serving them would ever contribute more than a tiny drop in the bucket.
It would be like Jeff Bezos directing all the resources of Amazon, for 10 years, to stealing a nickel out of your wallet. And then cackling maniacally that he had managed to steal all 5 cents!!!!!
What are these exceedingly rich aliens hoping to gain from us? Is it just entertainment? "Reality TV, with the humans?"
I can't think of anything we could give them that they don't already have.
Love?

You beat me to it lol

Bright Insight has a new vid out re. ancient water cataclysm around the Richat.
youtu.be...
"We particularly provide evidence for the existence of ancient lakes dated between around 10.000 and 5.000 years ago in the northern Sahara, Algeria. Our method is based on the analysis of fossil algae found in the sand and deposited in aquatic environments million years ago when the area was covered by lakes," Christos Katrantsiotis at Umeå University says.
Astonishing NEW details have been uncovered involving the Lost Ancient City of Atlantis, and the Eye of The Sahara. These details are so significant that the Richat Structure should without a doubt, be considered the most likely location of the lost capital city of Atlantis.

So, is there a city in the center of that circle?

The evidence is pointing in the direction that their was. A few of the foundations are still there in horrible condition in my opinion. As I understand, they, are trying to get the Ladar films released. The second ring is full of buried structures..

I'm guessing you knew Herodotus personally? Why, that would make you really really, old lol lol lol. No wonder you have such a commanding knowledge of history lol lol lol

See, unlike you, I've actually studied some of what Herodotus actually wrote, having read his "Histories" multiple times. I've also looked into this map - again, many, many times.
It's amazing what one can learn if one can tear their strained eyes away from aerial photos of empty land.

I found an excellent post on Reddit by a historian moderator which includes points that we hadn't considered (because we're not historians), including the (lack of) evidence of presence of metals. Some districts were (according to Plato) made of gold (which is probably more of the metal than actually has ever been mined) as well as the mis-reporting of dimensions by "alternative history" people.
And the map isn't by Herodotus. It's a much later map, based on his writings. See comments by Iphikrates in this Reddit response The area detailed in the map is farther to the north than the Richat structure.

You might just want to look at it on Google Earth - no ruins just rocks.
"And, beginning from the sea, they dug a canal three hundred feet in width and one hundred feet in depth, and fifty stadia in length, which they carried through to the outermost zone, making a passage from the sea up to this, which became a harbor, and leaving an opening sufficient to enable the largest vessels to find ingress. Moreover, they divided the zones of land which parted the zones of sea, constructing bridges of such a width as would leave a passage for a single trireme to pass out of one into another, and roofed them over; and there was a way underneath for the ships, for the banks of the zones were raised considerably above the water.
Now the largest of the zones into which a passage was cut from the sea was three stadia in breadth, and the zone of land which came next of equal breadth; but the next two, as well the zone of water as of land, were two stadia, and the one which surrounded the central island was a stadium only in width. The island in which the palace was situated had a diameter of five stadia."
The stade consisted of 625 Roman feet (185 metres or 606.9 feet), or 125 paces, and was equal to one-eighth of a mile.
How does that compare to the rings of that natural formation? Try using Google Earth and its ruler function.

So it's approximately 8 x too big.
And if we go down to 118c, we find that the plain around it was approximately 2,500 x 2,500 stadia (a total circumference of 10,000 stadia), which seems to come to about 500 x 500 kilometers. Pretty big.
www.atlantis-scout.de...
This means that, if we go with the argument that "stadia" was a different, larger distance in the original text (so that we can resize the central city to fit the Richat Structure), then the plain grows from 500 x 500 kilometers to being 4000 x 4000 kilometers............ which would make it comparable in size to the continental USA.
So we can't just resize the "stadia" unit to fix this. Unless we want this to be a very large country.
Leaving the palace and passing out across the three (117e) you came to a wall which began at the sea and went all round: this was everywhere distant fifty stadia from the largest zone or harbour, and enclosed the whole, the ends meeting at the mouth of the channel which led to the sea. The entire area was densely crowded with habitations; and the canal and the largest of the harbours were full of vessels and merchants coming from all parts, who, from their numbers, kept up a multitudinous sound of human voices, and din and clatter of all sorts night and day.
Now the largest of the zones into which a passage was cut from the sea was three stadia in breadth, and the zone of land which came next of equal breadth; but the next two zones, the one of water, the other of land, were two stadia, and the one which surrounded the central island was a stadium only in width. (116a) The island in which the palace was situated had a diameter of five stadia.
