The bioluminescent glow at the "Sea of Stars" used to occur, sometimes, on Pacific beaches in Canada and USA. It was rarely bright enough to light up the waves or even be seen in moonlight. But you would notice glowing pulses outlining your footsteps in the sand. That was decades ago. I haven't seen it since. I haven't heard anyone else describe it. It's gone.

I live in northern England about 70 miles away from Yorkshire and have been the the Bolton Strid a few times. It looks like this gentle mini-river and you DO see people running and jumping across it despite the warnings. It actually had a 100% fatality rate, as in nobody who has ever been in it had ever survived.
The bolton strid (less than an hour from my home) is so bad that they once ran a test to see just HOW bad. They threw in a sheep carcass (COD old age) and it went down stream... in pieces. And, only one leg came up. The rest? Liquified on the rocks inside the strid. It was pummelled from wall to wall. They ran a net during the test to catch the carcass, and only caught fragments of bone, and a few inches of intestine. The rest was pummelled so small that it passed through the net. P.s. the river upstream is actually WAY bigger than this video made out. it's about 2 soccer pitches wide... all flowing into that "2 foot wide" river. It's got the water pressure of a jet-washer!
The Eye of the Sahara looks suspiciously similar, exactly actually, to the described appearance of Atlantis, The oceans would have had to cover that portion of Africa though, Which is also totally possible centuries ago.

Ever heard of devil's hole? It's like 325 feet deep, and at the bottom there is a vacuum. It will suck you through that hole, and you wouldn't be able to get out.

He found that vacuum and he had a tool to test how deep it was. 925 foot line and it didn't touch a single surface.

@@hypnotic_soul_28 You know that feeling when you need to fart, and your sure it's a fart. Suddenly you feel a small liquid. Now your stuck wondering if you can make it to the bathroom or if your gana be leaving a trail. Yea this has nothing to do with Florida, I just won't you too wonder about what you just read.
@@squigglymustache9724 as weird as it was in that feeling. It's a terrifying one. Like a sink hole or in better reference Florida levels of terrifying.
There's a lake in Florida called Stillwaters where you can throw a rock into the center and the ripples never reach the perfectly flat edges of the lake. If you drop a rock at Waters edge, ripples will travel up to the center but always goes smooth after that. It was discovered the center of the lake is only 3" deep and slopes down to a depth of 3' at Waters edge.
Mauritius is a great place for diving. A few times we were near the edge where the ground gives way to an abyss. You go from gin-clear water with plenty of light, then, look down there and see inky blackness. It's more disorientating than scary, but not a little bit scary either.
Yeah that hole in Belize 🇧🇿 where he mistakenly points to Bahamas 🇧🇸 on the map if the never reached the bottom how tf do they know that it's 663ft deep and the a human has got in was only 331ft
@@marvinho6403 why tf would you need to dive to the bottom to know how deep it is? You can litteraly take some really heavy dumbell tied with a loooooong ass rope and drop it from a boat above the hole. Once the dumbell touches the bottom it will stop pulling on the rope and then you measure how much rope got submerged as you are pulling it out(or just pre divide the rope in the foot or meter divisions)
Hell, that's nothing. One of the largest icebergs ever recorded broke off in western Antarctica in February 2017. It was about the size of **Delaware**. Delaware is quite a bit larger than LA.
There was an iceberg larger than Jamaica that broke off in 2000 and took almost 20 years to melt. Fun fact: Jamaica has a surface area of 10 990km^2 The one in 2021 didn’t surprise even the freshest grad student on the trip.
Google it - he didn't. Freedivers at Dean's Blue Hole regularly go far deeper than 331 feet. At the bottom - 665 feet - there is a wire strung with sequentially numbered plastic chits. They take one to show they were there. In one breath. Yes, they use weights to speed their descent into the black. Hey, that would make a great RUclips article!
That split rock is most likely where the Biblical account of water coming from a rock occurred. There's a mountain nearby called Jabal al-Lawz, which is theorized to be the true Mount Sinai.
I had to get my copy of _what if?_ as a reference to confirm, but if you could collect all the energy from all the lightning strikes from a single night’s worth of Catatumbo lightning, the collected energy would be enough to power a plasma TV and games console continuously for about a century.
The "Eye of the Sahara" is an eroded salt dome. Volcanic domes generally have much more resistant basaltic rocks at their centers, and impact craters tend to have badly fractured rock layers as one approaches the center and also the presence of "shocked" quartz, plus other ejecta surrounding the center.
The phosphorescent algae is all over the Caribbean. One night I was crewing on a yacht over-night to Bimini when I saw a pod of dolphin swim into a huge area of algae. Might be the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Unfortunately, before the age of cell-phones.
In addition to the last location about the mysterious "eye" in the Sahara desert, I recently watched something revealing that some researchers are speculating as to the possibility that it is actually the lost City of Atlantis 👀
Tom Scott did a great little "things you might not know" video on the Bolton Strid. Iirc he titled it something like "the most dangerous stretch of water in the world."
no volcanic event formed either of these : there is nothing structured or organized about a volcanic eruption these were not formed but grew like a tree, a very large tree in comparison to what we call trees but believe you me no volcano was involved that’s a lie the scientists want us to believe for whatever reason only things that are alive or being influenced by things that are alive form the honey comb shapes
@@johndenny7164 are you a flat-earther too? With the tin foil hat? You don't seriously believe volcanologists or geologists have nothing better to do than lie about this stuff, do you?
@@toniatchison3678 have you ever come across any of the mudfossil videos? Here's an example ruclips.net/video/NWBCMQdta6w/видео.html I'm sure there are other people that make similar videos (I've never actually checked) but this guy really takes the cake. If you've never watched one it's worth taking the time to check it out. friendly tip #1, put the playback speed at 1.5x, the only way I could watch the whole thing. Friendly tip #2, read the comments, some are freaking hilarious.
@@johndenny7164 they are called Basalt pillars it is literally petrified volcanic lava. Have you never seen how quartz crystals grow? That is absolutely from volcanic activity period and by the way the Devil's Tower is also formed by ancient volcanic activity period it is referred to as a lava plug. Please take off your tinfoil hat
Regarding the Eye of the Sahara, it's also important to note that all of the white you can see inside it is evaporated sea water...salt! Considering that it's roughly 550km (340mi.) from the Western coast and about 60 meters below sea level, these are just more factors to add to the mystery. Of all the theories out there about it though, the volcano one is the least likely and also the least interesting of the lot. Personally, I don't know if it'll ever be credibly explained, but it's definitely interesting to think about and one of the world's biggest mysteries.
I've been researching the strid for a while now and it's super interesting! I've never been to it in person but I've watched every video I've been able to find about it! There are many different theories about how deep it is but I haven't found many people that agree on its depth. And I haven't seen a successful attempt to sound it. The mystery continues.....
I'm surprised he didn't touch on the fact that a large number of people (and even some within the scientific community) believe that the Eye of the Sahara is very possibly the location of the Lost City of Atlantis.
The lava probably wouldn’t have been formed by meeting cooler ocean temperatures as this usually creates a more explosive (and pretty amazing) show. As the lava hits the water, the difference in temperatures is so extreme, it causes the lava to spit and doesn’t leave much of a chance to solidify in regular patters. The only time this would really happen with an eruption is if the lava had a small stream of the molten rock, dripping down off of an embankment of previously lain, hardened rock from other eruptions, or if the lava from the same eruption had these explosive interactions and left areas where it could do exactly that; dripping down in a slow stream of sorts and then hardening against each other in cascading flows. From all re videos I’ve seen in about 30 years’ worth of clips and documentaries, that seems the only likely way of the lava forming into such geometric shapes and in that sort of lineup. But that would also be a bit odd if it did this further down and didn’t expand out since, there again, the lava would probably become malformed as it hit the water. Don’t see much of that kind of formation today. So that also suggests that the water temperatures when those columns were formed must’ve been much warmer back in that time period. After all, the world has been through several ice ages and, scientifically speaking, we *are* technically at the end of the current ice age. So it makes sense that if the earth were warmer at that time (because we’ve also experienced periods of time in which the world did not have ice caps, as they were completely melted between these cycles), the vast difference between the temperature of the lava and the ocean water with which it came into contact was a bit less of a difference compared than to what it is today.
Am I the only one who hears a quiet high pitched beep every now and then in this video??? Also the Isle of Staffa is not unlike the Giant's Causeway in terms of its stone. It's the same composition!
Has anyone ever been to Devil’s Hole, Nevada? I’ve never been there myself but it sounds really dang cool! Apparently it’s one of the only places where you can find Pupfish, and fish in the desert anyway! Edit: It is actually possible for a waterfall to occur underwater. The difference in Salinity between ocean water and brine (super-super salty water) causes the brine to sink and settle at the bottom of the ocean. This can even happen with the salinity difference between ocean and fresh water. However, this is more likely to occur in a science experiment than in nature. Still, pretty cool.
This is something I've known for a long time since fresh water will float on salt water but what happens to the discharge water at a desalination plant when the membranes are flushed. Does this super salty water remix with the surrounding ocean water fairly quickly and be carried away by the currents or sink to the bottom and kill everything there.
We saw basalt columns similar to Fingal's Cave when we were in Iceland last October. It was weird to see something that was so structured occurring naturally! Too bad about the spray painted graffiti on the Al Naslaa rock formations. (I suppose it's no different to the older markings that are on them but at least the old ones are harmonious with the rock. I wonder when some of those date from?)
2 rules of lightning: Never hits same place twice. And you cant really know where its gonna strike. So what is even more strange, is that somehow they havent found a way to harness such a huge souce of energy from those lightning strikes, being that its being handed on a silver plater, with a bow on top

Dean's Blue Hole is a blue hole located in The Bahamas in a bay west of Clarence Town on Long Island and is the world's second deepest, after the Dragon Hole in the South China Sea, with a depth of 202 metres (663 ft).
Thanks you for this because I don't kno where they got Belize from. I lived in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 all my life and we pride Dean's blue hole as it attracts divers and tourist from all over the world.
Water can catch fire, if you burn something near it hot enough. It takes about 2200 C to begin splitting some water present into hydrogen and oxygen components, and hydrogen with oxygen present (in a good stoichiometric mixture) can burn up to 2600 C. So if, say (and don’t try this near your house, I’ve melted an entire bucket full of water and a third of my house’s siding from being a dumb kid trying something too close), you were to put a certain accelerant (unnamed, for safety) on a bucket of water, and lit the fumes, it can burn hot enough to begin the thermolysis of the water below. Once begun, more oxygen becomes available, as well as hydrogen, so it burns even hotter, accelerating the process. This chain reaction continues until the bucket is empty (to my younger self’s great surprise, having accidentally done something of great interest to science, albeit in the stupidest way possible), resulting in a melted puddle of plastic on the ground, and in my case, a lack of any siding about three feet to either side of the bucket. A smaller experiment with proper supervision and safety measures in a fireproof environment would have yielded better, safer, results.
That eye of Sahara has another theory about it, some think it may have been the lost city of Atlantis - only, it didn't sink but the access to the ocean was cut off, with the water evaporating... Whatever it is, it's certainly magnificent.
The «Eye of Sahara» is also a possible location for Atlantis, back when it was all water, and it matches Plato's ancester description of Atlantis concentric rings, in size and distance between them. Take a look at Jimmy's channel, «Bright Insight» and look for the «Eye of Sahara» and his theories.
The eye of the Sahara has also been speculated as Atlantis. Also, there is a place in Africa that I don’t think the Lightning ever stops. I think our planet has all these secrets that it’s not ready to give up. One thing at a time I guess!
...only way to confirm is by observing the cross section of the split to see if actually natural or a cut, because a cut mark has a specific frictional pattern depending on the direction applied to cut through. A natural split will have none.
Alien captain to one of his crew: "We are going to conquer the human world by using our lasers to split rocks in half. This will cause some hysteria in some of the humans. By increasing the amount of these split rocks all over the surface of the human world, we will cause a mass hysteria in enough humans to cause them to attack each other. The eventual result will be that the humans will wipe themselves out leaving the planet ready for us to colonize."
There was one of those "columnar" rock formations close by in the place where I grew up. I remember it being described by our science teacher as "monoclinic crystals", mostly formed when some molten substance such as sulphur etc. is allowed to cool down at a some specific rate.
the blue pond has a naturally occurring cousin, the Blue lake is a dormant volcano filled with water in Mt Gambier, Australia, the water is a beautiful blue during summer months
Really good video! That Al Naslaa rock is fascinating. You can see the result of massive amounts of water that must have been running down the middle to have eroded that sand away from the weight of the rock. My guess is that there must have been a pool of water surrounding that rock at a time and once the water source dried up the loose sand was simply blown away by wind over time. How it is still able to balance like that is simply amazing , kind of makes me think of the rock of Horeb where Moses stuck the rock. Maybe Al Naslaa is one of these rocks he struck..
It was once a very fertile and populated area that also served as a major trade route. The rock has many drawings on it that are more clear in different photos. The erosion at the base suggests it had been standing in water for a very long time, but that could equally be wind-driven sand erosion because sand tends to concentrate lower when blown.
This is my thought. They've found a rock in Saudi that they are pretty certain is one of the rocks. They now believe the real Mt. Sinai is in Saudi, & many scholars believe Horeb & Sinai are the same place. I'm a self admitted geography idiot, but it seems possible.
On that last one, the eye in Africa -- it has been proven scientifically that the Sahara was once a Tropical Oasis, and in looking at this structure that can be "seen from space" I can't help but wonder at it's Three Concentric Rings and how reminiscent it is of "Atlantis." I know I'm probably going to get negative comments about this, however, I am completely serious -- as no one -- for me at least -- has completely ruled out that there actually was a "Continent of Atlantis" at some point way in Antiquity! Only time will tell, as they say! Peace!
Atlantis existed. The Greeks said it was in Africa by location. Their are even more ancient and greater civilizations in Africa since Africans have been on earth at least 1 billion years judging by their iron ball calculator.
This video was so amazing. I would have loved to see the optical illusion under water waterfall from under the surface to see what actually was going on down under the water. Great video. Want to see more.
I live in FL so I chuckled at the joke. I have snorkeled at the Blue Hole in Belize. My boyfriend at the time was scuba diving and I tagged along. I was the only one snorkelers so why the scuba divers were briefing in the boat I was informed I could jump in a snorkel to the side. I was freaking! All the sudden a manta ray was coming towards me. It was so beautiful, graceful and huge! I'm 5'6 and it looked bigger the me. I tried to get the attention of my boyfriend and when I looked back it was gone. Basically I could of beat Micheal Phelps in the 200. So beautiful, yet terrifying.
Jimmy from Bright Insight has done a few videos on the eye of the Sahara being the location of the lost city of Atlantis. The information provided is pretty compelling.
Yes! I kayaked through mangroves to Vieques Island under a new moon with a wonderful guide named Elena. On the way to Bioluminescent Bay we snorkeled, had a picnic, and visited a yellow sandy cliff full of fossils that were ours for the taking - if we could free them. What a MAGNIFICENT trip!! ❤️😁
I think the split rock was once a flat rock sitting on a flat surface, then with the winds and years going by, the ground became those unleveled little hills the rock is now sitting on and also caused the rocks bottom wear out into the shape that looks like it has its own little feet. I think the unleveled floor then cause the rock to split and the dirt winds going through the cracks smoothed it out like it was sanded with sandpaper. My theory
I live in Mauritius ilsland by coincidence i was there fishing by the underwater waterfall like place next to Le Morne Braban mountain...it is also one of the favorite playground for the familly of dolphines who live there..n they welcome you to swim around n play with them if they like you and are in good mood😉 .i am so happy and blessed to live in this paradise...n invite you all to come visite those wonders in a safe and unique environement..who else live near one of those place mentioned i would love to know your point if view n experience😀
The Al Naslaa rock formation could have originally been two separate pieces of rock and through some geological activity were sandwiched together where friction slowly over time flattened both the rock faces. Just a thought.
You got the Eye of the Sahara completely wrong. The rings, size, surrounding peaks which once held waterfalls, and other features closely match Homer’s description of the lost city of Atlantis. It is believed to have once been on the shore but became landlocked by a massive tectonic shift. People believed it sank into the ocean because European visitors came by sea and one day it was just no longer visible on the shore.
Here in San Diego we have the bioluminescence waves. I haven’t seen it tho but it’s popular here but it only occurs occasionally. I heard they returned to San Diego shores this month.

There's a lake in Florida called Stillwaters where you can throw a rock into the center and the ripples never reach the perfectly flat edges of the lake. If you drop a rock at Waters edge, ripples will travel up to the center but always goes smooth after that.
It was discovered the center of the lake is only 3" deep and slopes down to a depth of 3' at Waters edge.
Wow! That's cool.
Mauritius is a great place for diving. A few times we were near the edge where the ground gives way to an abyss. You go from gin-clear water with plenty of light, then, look down there and see inky blackness. It's more disorientating than scary, but not a little bit scary either.

You can litteraly take some really heavy dumbell tied with a loooooong ass rope and drop it from a boat above the hole.

Keep up your laughing ,
The "Eye of the Sahara" is an eroded salt dome. Volcanic domes generally have much more resistant basaltic rocks at their centers, and impact craters tend to have badly fractured rock layers as one approaches the center and also the presence of "shocked" quartz, plus other ejecta surrounding the center.
The eye of the Sahara is where Atlantis once was. Pretty cool area.

The phosphorescent algae is all over the Caribbean. One night I was crewing on a yacht over-night to Bimini when I saw a pod of dolphin swim into a huge area of algae. Might be the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Unfortunately, before the age of cell-phones.
In addition to the last location about the mysterious "eye" in the Sahara desert, I recently watched something revealing that some researchers are speculating as to the possibility that it is actually the lost City of Atlantis 👀
Tom Scott did a great little "things you might not know" video on the Bolton Strid. Iirc he titled it something like "the most dangerous stretch of water in the world."
Fingal's Cave was formed at the same time and by the same volcanic event that formed the Giant's Causeway in Ireland, and additional Scottish islands.
no volcanic event formed either of these : there is nothing structured or organized about a volcanic eruption these were not formed but grew like a tree, a very large tree in comparison to what we call trees but believe you me no volcano was involved that’s a lie the scientists want us to believe for whatever reason only things that are alive or being influenced by things that are alive form the honey comb shapes

there's some archeologist that think the eye of the Sahara could be the lost city of Atlantis
"Archeologist" 😂
Giorgio Tsoukalos is not a archeologist!
Crackpots....
Regarding the Eye of the Sahara, it's also important to note that all of the white you can see inside it is evaporated sea water...salt! Considering that it's roughly 550km (340mi.) from the Western coast and about 60 meters below sea level, these are just more factors to add to the mystery. Of all the theories out there about it though, the volcano one is the least likely and also the least interesting of the lot. Personally, I don't know if it'll ever be credibly explained, but it's definitely interesting to think about and one of the world's biggest mysteries.
I've been researching the strid for a while now and it's super interesting! I've never been to it in person but I've watched every video I've been able to find about it! There are many different theories about how deep it is but I haven't found many people that agree on its depth. And I haven't seen a successful attempt to sound it. The mystery continues.....

I'm surprised he didn't touch on the fact that a large number of people (and even some within the scientific community) believe that the Eye of the Sahara is very possibly the location of the Lost City of Atlantis.
Yes I was watching and waiting for him to say that considering the theory he mentioned about the rock being cut by aliens 🤷🏻
I'm definitely amazed! 😮 The last one I learned about just this year! 😂 Thank you!
The lava probably wouldn’t have been formed by meeting cooler ocean temperatures as this usually creates a more explosive (and pretty amazing) show. As the lava hits the water, the difference in temperatures is so extreme, it causes the lava to spit and doesn’t leave much of a chance to solidify in regular patters. The only time this would really happen with an eruption is if the lava had a small stream of the molten rock, dripping down off of an embankment of previously lain, hardened rock from other eruptions, or if the lava from the same eruption had these explosive interactions and left areas where it could do exactly that; dripping down in a slow stream of sorts and then hardening against each other in cascading flows.
From all re videos I’ve seen in about 30 years’ worth of clips and documentaries, that seems the only likely way of the lava forming into such geometric shapes and in that sort of lineup. But that would also be a bit odd if it did this further down and didn’t expand out since, there again, the lava would probably become malformed as it hit the water. Don’t see much of that kind of formation today. So that also suggests that the water temperatures when those columns were formed must’ve been much warmer back in that time period. After all, the world has been through several ice ages and, scientifically speaking, we *are* technically at the end of the current ice age. So it makes sense that if the earth were warmer at that time (because we’ve also experienced periods of time in which the world did not have ice caps, as they were completely melted between these cycles), the vast difference between the temperature of the lava and the ocean water with which it came into contact was a bit less of a difference compared than to what it is today.
Am I the only one who hears a quiet high pitched beep every now and then in this video???
Also the Isle of Staffa is not unlike the Giant's Causeway in terms of its stone. It's the same composition!

Has anyone ever been to Devil’s Hole, Nevada? I’ve never been there myself but it sounds really dang cool! Apparently it’s one of the only places where you can find Pupfish, and fish in the desert anyway!
Edit: It is actually possible for a waterfall to occur underwater. The difference in Salinity between ocean water and brine (super-super salty water) causes the brine to sink and settle at the bottom of the ocean. This can even happen with the salinity difference between ocean and fresh water. However, this is more likely to occur in a science experiment than in nature. Still, pretty cool.
This is something I've known for a long time since fresh water will float on salt water but what happens to the discharge water at a desalination plant when the membranes are flushed.
Does this super salty water remix with the surrounding ocean water fairly quickly and be carried away by the currents or sink to the bottom and kill everything there.

We saw basalt columns similar to Fingal's Cave when we were in Iceland last October. It was weird to see something that was so structured occurring naturally! Too bad about the spray painted graffiti on the Al Naslaa rock formations. (I suppose it's no different to the older markings that are on them but at least the old ones are harmonious with the rock. I wonder when some of those date from?)

Water can catch fire, if you burn something near it hot enough. It takes about 2200 C to begin splitting some water present into hydrogen and oxygen components, and hydrogen with oxygen present (in a good stoichiometric mixture) can burn up to 2600 C. So if, say (and don’t try this near your house, I’ve melted an entire bucket full of water and a third of my house’s siding from being a dumb kid trying something too close), you were to put a certain accelerant (unnamed, for safety) on a bucket of water, and lit the fumes, it can burn hot enough to begin the thermolysis of the water below.
Once begun, more oxygen becomes available, as well as hydrogen, so it burns even hotter, accelerating the process. This chain reaction continues until the bucket is empty (to my younger self’s great surprise, having accidentally done something of great interest to science, albeit in the stupidest way possible), resulting in a melted puddle of plastic on the ground, and in my case, a lack of any siding about three feet to either side of the bucket. A smaller experiment with proper supervision and safety measures in a fireproof environment would have yielded better, safer, results.
I bet your parents were mad.

The eye of Africa is actually the location of Atlantis, It’s exactly were Plato said it was!
I agree
That eye of Sahara has another theory about it, some think it may have been the lost city of Atlantis - only, it didn't sink but the access to the ocean was cut off, with the water evaporating... Whatever it is, it's certainly magnificent.
The «Eye of Sahara» is also a possible location for Atlantis, back when it was all water, and it matches Plato's ancester description of Atlantis concentric rings, in size and distance between them. Take a look at Jimmy's channel, «Bright Insight» and look for the «Eye of Sahara» and his theories.
You have explained very well 👍👍👍 good job.... Enjoying all your videos ❤️❤️
The floating island in Antartica, A74 has recently been reported to have completely broken apart due to warming waters.
The eye of the Sahara has also been speculated as Atlantis. Also, there is a place in Africa that I don’t think the Lightning ever stops. I think our planet has all these secrets that it’s not ready to give up. One thing at a time I guess!
I mean, if I was an alien I would totally be splitting rocks and watching people freak out about it 😅
...only way to confirm is by observing the cross section of the split to see if actually natural or a cut, because a cut mark has a specific frictional pattern depending on the direction applied to cut through. A natural split will have none.
Alien captain to one of his crew: "We are going to conquer the human world by using our lasers to split rocks in half. This will cause some hysteria in some of the humans. By increasing the amount of these split rocks all over the surface of the human world, we will cause a mass hysteria in enough humans to cause them to attack each other. The eventual result will be that the humans will wipe themselves out leaving the planet ready for us to colonize."
There was one of those "columnar" rock formations close by in the place where I grew up. I remember it being described by our science teacher as "monoclinic crystals", mostly formed when some molten substance such as sulphur etc. is allowed to cool down at a some specific rate.
the blue pond has a naturally occurring cousin, the Blue lake is a dormant volcano filled with water in Mt Gambier, Australia, the water is a beautiful blue during summer months
Really good video! That Al Naslaa rock is fascinating. You can see the result of massive amounts of water that must have been running down the middle to have eroded that sand away from the weight of the rock. My guess is that there must have been a pool of water surrounding that rock at a time and once the water source dried up the loose sand was simply blown away by wind over time. How it is still able to balance like that is simply amazing , kind of makes me think of the rock of Horeb where Moses stuck the rock. Maybe Al Naslaa is one of these rocks he struck..
It was once a very fertile and populated area that also served as a major trade route. The rock has many drawings on it that are more clear in different photos. The erosion at the base suggests it had been standing in water for a very long time, but that could equally be wind-driven sand erosion because sand tends to concentrate lower when blown.
This is my thought. They've found a rock in Saudi that they are pretty certain is one of the rocks. They now believe the real Mt. Sinai is in Saudi, & many scholars believe Horeb & Sinai are the same place. I'm a self admitted geography idiot, but it seems possible.
On that last one, the eye in Africa -- it has been proven scientifically that the Sahara was once a Tropical Oasis, and in looking at this structure that can be "seen from space" I can't help but wonder at it's Three Concentric Rings and how reminiscent it is of "Atlantis." I know I'm probably going to get negative comments about this, however, I am completely serious -- as no one -- for me at least -- has completely ruled out that there actually was a "Continent of Atlantis" at some point way in Antiquity! Only time will tell, as they say! Peace!
Atlantis existed. The Greeks said it was in Africa by location.
Their are even more ancient and greater civilizations in Africa since Africans have been on earth at least 1 billion years judging by their iron ball calculator.
This video was so amazing. I would have loved to see the optical illusion under water waterfall from under the surface to see what actually was going on down under the water. Great video. Want to see more.
I live in FL so I chuckled at the joke. I have snorkeled at the Blue Hole in Belize. My boyfriend at the time was scuba diving and I tagged along. I was the only one snorkelers so why the scuba divers were briefing in the boat I was informed I could jump in a snorkel to the side. I was freaking! All the sudden a manta ray was coming towards me. It was so beautiful, graceful and huge! I'm 5'6 and it looked bigger the me. I tried to get the attention of my boyfriend and when I looked back it was gone. Basically I could of beat Micheal Phelps in the 200. So beautiful, yet terrifying.

That electric blue water is freaking amazing!
I think the split rock was once a flat rock sitting on a flat surface, then with the winds and years going by, the ground became those unleveled little hills the rock is now sitting on and also caused the rocks bottom wear out into the shape that looks like it has its own little feet. I think the unleveled floor then cause the rock to split and the dirt winds going through the cracks smoothed it out like it was sanded with sandpaper. My theory
My dude! I was saying the same thing about the sand over time smoothing out that crack.. tsk tsk scientists how can you miss that.

Aliens: "To prove the power of Quantum Flex Tape, I sawed this rock in half!"
The best thing about your channel is how you present speculation as facts
The Al Naslaa rock formation could have originally been two separate pieces of rock and through some geological activity were sandwiched together where friction slowly over time flattened both the rock faces. Just a thought.

You got the Eye of the Sahara completely wrong. The rings, size, surrounding peaks which once held waterfalls, and other features closely match Homer’s description of the lost city of Atlantis. It is believed to have once been on the shore but became landlocked by a massive tectonic shift. People believed it sank into the ocean because European visitors came by sea and one day it was just no longer visible on the shore.
I am amazed by that rock thats perfectly cut in half it’s mindblowing
