Atlantis: An Overlooked Element

Here we have the Richat structure, also called the eye of the Sahara... what i and many others believe to be the lost City of Atlantis...

Now it is said that the Ancient city was devoured by the sea... For something like that to happen it would have had to be a Tsunami of epic proportions... and i believe there is Evidence of said Tsunami all around that area!

The size of the wave would have had to be so big that it actually changed the landscape and shaped the land all around the area for it to have reached so far inland... We're talking 520km here... that is a huge distance for a wave to travel.... Thus, this wave was truly gigantic!!

And Here we have the evidence of said wave....


Hopefully you can see the distance from the Atlantic ocean to the Richat structure.... and you can clearly see the path of the wave as it ripped apart the land as it traveled inland.... literally ripping lines in the rock of the ground and mountians in the area... and this can clearly still be seen from a Satellite image to this day.

The lines in the ground caused by this title wave lead directly to the sunken City of Atlantis... and even past it

Now of course this is just speculation... but i would consider this evidence of a Cataclysmic title wave that sunk Atlantis

I just hope one day someone will actually excavate the area to see whats under and around the eye of the Sahara

Thanks Akragon for posting this! Very interesting. It certainly does look like water erosion. I think there could be a hybrid connection between what you propose and the video that "Wide'Eyes" linked to. There was a mass uprising of water, it decimated Atlantis. How or what caused that is a mystery, but I think we're getting closer to identifying where it is. Nice! Thanks.

I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet but the Richat Structure is believed to be an eroded dome from the Protozeroic to Ordivician eras. I would think it would be an awesome base to form a city! Atlantis was supposed to be a city of the sea though wasn't it? Sorry for dumb question, I will check the vid out soon. Thanks for posting the thread!

As I pointed out in this thread:
SEEN HERE

In the 9300BC version of the story (the one that has been written by Plato, but relayed by Critias) the location of Atlantis must be closer to the Attica Peninsula than Africa. In fact give that a glacier was falling apart in the alps at that time, and reshaping the landscape each time, we could make a guess that the Italian region could be a possible location to the City Island of Atlantis. It could very well be placed in the Rovigo and Ferrara area.

But if you insist on something weird like the "Eye of the Sahara", then I would point you to Cruiser Tablemount as to a better location. In fact it the thread I linked you too a case could be made to Libya being Atlantis. Though one should also remember what I said in this thread:
SEEN HERE

Around 9300BCE the Alpine Glacial shelf collapsed into the area of Northern Italy. That area would have had land access to Attica for that war between the forces controlled by the island kingdom of Atlantis and the people of Attica would make sense, as well as the earthquake that destroyed the island and turning the bay into a mud pit also makes sense if you consider that angle.

On the other hand you are suggesting that multiple events took place at the same time and that was the reason why Atlantis disappeared. It would be hard pressed to have a culture in Africa not only gathering up the forces to fight the people of Attica and then get wiped out by an earthquake that was so large in scale that even the Athenians were affected by it that it was known by even the Egyptians that somehow survived the disaster.

A glacial collapse in the Alps destroying an empire in northern Italy could be known by the Egyptians without the Egyptians being destroyed in the process.

THIS PIECE FROM THE CRITIAS:
"Now the city in those days was arranged on this wise. In the first place the Acropolis was not as now. For the fact is that a single night of excessive rain washed away the earth and laid bare the rock; at the same time there were earthquakes, and then occurred the extraordinary inundation, which was the third before the great destruction of Deucalion. But in primitive times the hill of the Acropolis extended to the Eridanus and Ilissus, and included the Pnyx on one side, and the Lycabettus as a boundary on the opposite side to the Pnyx, and was all well covered with soil, and level at the top, except in one or two places."

If you really want the "Eye of the Sahara" to be Atlantis, then you need to explain how it's destruction would have destroyed Attica, but left Egypt alone.

already a discussion going on

Its called a Global Continental Displacement Wave...as has been posted on ATS many times.

Yes it does this.

Yes there are examples on every Continent.

Yes there is a Model.

Yes the Event is Cyclical.

Current Model covers the last 3 Events.

"The Adam and Eve Story" will give you accuracy...Gill Broussard will give you religous style and an ETA....David Hamel will give you a Plan to build a Craft to Survive the Event and an incoming date....

I will give you a pat on the back for Waking Up.....just before Everyone goes to sleep again.

Good find Akragon.

There is nearby mountain north west of Richat called Kediet ej Jill which is said to be rich in magnetite. It be first place I'd look for artifacts. Given it's likely to have remained above any tsunami.

The human race may be far older or have been preceded by other sentient being's that came before us, sentient beings that may have looked pretty much the same as humans do.

After the extinction of the Dino's about 65 million years ago if you accept the institutionalized explanation of the past mammalian life became dominant, just as happened many times during the Dino's period of rule creatures appeared often separated by millions of years that looked almost identical to creatures that had once existed and vanished long before them, Rhino's were an example and we have a living example alive today in the form of the Bear and the Panda, while panda's are vegetarians this was not always the case they are just one surviving branch of the marsupial bears which once filled the same ecological position as the modern bear does.

Wolf and Bit Cat like creatures are another, going right back into prehistory long before the modern wolf and big cat species other creatures existed that looked like them and had similar ability's.

We are told that modern life is smarter, bigger brained well I don't know about that seen how a small bird can work out how to get those nut's from complex puzzle feeders?, sometimes quality is more important than quantity.

Now my personal belief is religious I believe in God, I believe that there is NOTHING NEW under the sun.

To quote the bible.

8All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing. 9What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. 10Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.

And to my fellow believers I would argue the Lord has made MANY worlds upon the earth and it is arrogant to assume ours was the only one or in any way more than these other's.

But I would also point out I simply do not know.

But when you talk about Atlantis I also believe that this site is the best fit DESCRIPTIVELY but also that it is not the only candidate.

Plato's account was probably meant allegorically but he could also have mixed information that he received and believed into it or it could have been his Hellenistic interpretation of something he had heard relayed supposedly originally told to Solon on a trip to ancient Egypt were some priests told him the account from inscriptions on there temple wall.

So primordial Island of the first time, home to beings more powerful that once lived upon the earth, it's actually the Egyptian creation belief.

You HAVE to take channelled information for what it is, perhaps real but also perhaps a creation, a dream of the trance state person's subconscious or even a mix but ALWAYS seen through the lens of the channels mind and interpretation both conscious and subconscious, think about it like this our mind has to interpret, if an different source had to use our modern frame of reference then they may not be able to tell us since there frame of reference may have been very different to ours.

This is a geological formation known as an eroded dome, I do not believe that it was ever a city, there is zero evidence of Atlantis being there.

The Richat Structure, also called Guelb er Richât (Arabic قلب الريشات Qalb ar-Rīšāt), the Eye of Africa,[1] Eye of Mauritania or Eye of the Sahara[2][circular reference] is a prominent circular feature in the Sahara's Adrar Plateau, near Ouadane, west–central Mauritania, Northwest Africa. It is an eroded dome, 40 kilometres (25 mi) in diameter, exposing sedimentary rock in layers which appear as concentric rings. Igneous rock is exposed inside and there are spectacular rhyolites and gabbros which have undergone hydrothermal alteration, and a central megabreccia. The structure is also the location of exceptional accumulations of Acheulean archaeological artifacts. a reply to: Akragon

It could be an open pit mine that was buried under sand.....kinda looks like one ....doesnt matter what it is whats important is everything else we see in the aerials....what happened to that area is whats important.

This is amazing.

That's where the dragon tried to eat the massive fish (Leviathan) . That run off is poison that the dragon used to kill the fish before it was beheaded. The professor said it runs from the centre out to the sea. He hasn't said anything about Atlantis that I can remember in the video but he was talking about a giant dragon so I could have been more focused on that. Going to check if he has actually said anything about Atlantis there.

Don't judge me. I just watch too much stuff on YouTube.

Oh ja and we live on a planet that is made of dead giant carcasses and all the asteroids and planets are also just floating organs.

You learn a lot at mud fossil university.

It's a geological dome alright but I read somewhere that there's no other one quite like this that had been found anywhere else around the world.

It's labeled as an unknown type of geological dome.

appreciate you linking those. I didn't see them back then....and think ill enjoy reading through it this evening.

S+F, quality post.

You may be on to something, at a cursory glance it certainly looks the case. Will follow this to see what more knowledgable members say.

Nope. Azores.
