A city at Richat would be 11,000 years old, yes? Even Plato said that nothing is left there, after repeated floods and washing away of all soft soil, etc. Even old foundational wall fragments might not have survived such a span of time. www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/11/111111-sahara-libya-lost-civilization-science-satellites/

It makes sense that a sea water flood would cause such an explosion in a resonant structure. It is easily possible those pyramids were flooded some 12k yrs ago and stopped working. This flood was probably a result of an asteroid impact and it was not as disastrous as the previous flood described by Summerians and the Bible some 60k yrs ago. It all makes quite sense. Different cause of the flood, different results. The first flood is described by Summerians as a result of planetary collision (close encounter), the second flood is recognized by the modern scholars as an asteroid impact. It´s simply possible...

      I’ve watched two videos of people going to the richat structure so far after seeing @brightinsight ‘s video on the theory of it being Atlantis. The biggest contributing factor to the lack of archeological evidence is that Atlantis was supposed to have been buried by the “sea”(the ocean in reality)...likely, with the force of the ocean, everything would be under the earth at this point, as flood don’t just bring water, they bring massive amounts of sand/mud/rocks/whatever else, And definitely, debris would be pulled to the south west due to the receding of the waters.
      Either way, it will be very difficult to find anything on the surface. And since the government has made it illegal to utilize any kind of sonar mapping or other technologies to see what’s under the ground, it is likely going to be awhile before any new evidence is found. That being said, it isn’t right to deny the possibility of this being the location, as I saw in the other video, and it’s not right to stop looking!
      I would like to point out that the reason given in the other video for this is that the government doesn’t want any gold to be taken from their land and doesn’t want any kind of damage to be done to the area. I think if the right people with the right interpreters spoke with some of the higher up government officials, in a safe manner of course, showing the abscence of greed for profit to be made, and sharing their desire to respect the land, an agreement could be reached. I would like to look more into the government in that area.🙏🏼🙏🏼

If we have to dig to find atlantis then the surface feature appearance doesnt mean anything and thus the original "evidence" has no meaning.

So, it is not far fetched to think our ancestors traveled back and forth between those lands. They also were building boats and travelling quicker than previously suspected. They didn't walk for thousands of miles when there were bodies of water that cut that time in half. They traveled vast distances and communicated with one another and interbred with one another.

      In all likelihood, it is just a natural formation that was occasionally visited by nomads.
      No reasonable man can deny, however, that it EXACTLY matches Plato's geographical description of Atlantis. And its location south of the Senegal river (speculated, at the time, to connect with the Niger and Nile rivers), would place it in a 4th "lost continent" separate from Europe, Africa, and Asia. Indeed, the Ancients regarded the Nile river as dividing Africa from Asia, and the Tanais (now Ob) river Asia from Europe. This "4th continent" would certainly be bigger than "Africa" and "Asia" (as the Greeks knew them) combined, as Plato himself said.
      My best educated guess? The Phoenicians (who circumnavigated Africa 2,000 years before the Portuguese) sighted and mapped the Richat structure. And following their return to the Mediterranean, they (incorrectly) described it as the ruins of a great imperial city. The Egyptians, in turn, misidentified it with the "Atlantes" (from around present-day Morocco) with whom they and the Minoans had fought a very bloody war 8,000 years earlier.

    One thing to keep in mind about Atlantis is that it probably fell into ruin over a thousand years before the deluge. There are stories in essentially every culture describing how the antediluvian gods more or less wiped each other out through infighting. So the city state may have been conquered, sacked, and perhaps even razed to the ground before being left to rot for a thousand years before the flood came and erased what was left. Just food for thought, because I know most people who look for Atlantis are expecting a more or less preserved ruin frozen in time, complete with artifacts, when in all likelihood the artifacts were looted by antediluvian survivors of the various wars that destroyed that civilization.

Every culture around the globe has ancient stories of a golden age where there was high technology, and in every single case there are stories of wars using weapons that wiped out entire cities. The Greeks themselves record these wars in their mythology. You also find the same story in the Book of Enoch, and even in the Hindu myths.

      @@phoenixkb134 The legend of Atlantis, as over heard by Plato, yes. But it's like the mythologized stories of Homer. Based on actual events of the Golden Age, but who knows how many revisions and how condensed the stories are, and how they were allegorized.
      The first antediluvian king is recorded by the Greeks as Atlas, by the Babylonians as Alulim, and by the Jews as Assur. The Babylonian and Greek versions of the name have unknown pre Greek and Sumerian origins (i.e. they were adapted from another source language), and the meanings were lost. The Hebrew meaning, on the other hand, was preserved. The Hebrew root word for Assur essentially means "leader," as in the same sense as "dear leader" or "der Fuhrer." So it's apparently a title vs. a proper name.
      Which is very interesting because the Bible says that Nimrod was the first post diluvian king of Babylon, and changes his name to Assur when Babylon becomes an empire via the expansion into Nineveh. So apparently, Assur had connotations synonymous with the modern understanding of an emperor. Which fits with the idea that Atlantis had 10 kings, over which Atlas ruled as emperor. So an "Assur" was an emperor in that sense, apparently.
      More interesting, the ancient Babylonians considered themselves to be the post diluvian continuation of what the Greeks came to know at the Atlantean Empire. So apparently Nimrod saw himself as the post diluvian heir to Atlas' throne.
      Therefore, my conjecture is that the Jews kept a source language closer to the antediluvian language, and preserved more historically accurate accounts of the antediluvian world. Whereas the Babylonian and Greek versions suffered from the evolution of the language and all of the rise and fall of empires over thousands of years, and the various pagan religions that further mythologized the stories. And one of the Jews' oral traditions turned apocryphal book, Enoch, describes the antediluvian history in great detail, and it places the wars that destroyed the empire and its demigods about a thousand years prior to the deluge. So while the deluge itself probably did come in one day, as the Hebrew version suggests, the political destruction of the Atlantean Empire probably took place about a thousand years prior to the deluge.
      I believe the Hindu mythologies also describe those wars, and they talk about weapons that took out entire cities in one blow. I think that's generally what's described in the Greek mythology, too. Enoch describes the same thing, claiming that the demigods wiped each other out completely through infighting. They all sound like they're based on the same historical events. So I think you have people before the flood who were basically the refugees of a post apocalyptic world war scenario, and then only a few of them survived the flood that came a thousand years later. Then you had a very brief revival of the old Atlantean empire in the very, very early days of Babylon, that were quickly stamped out and lost to the sands of time.
      Also of note, the Jewish oral tradition has Abraham leaving Babylon while Nimrod is still alive. Actually, Abraham grew up outside of Babylon and didn't even return until he was fully grown. Speculation is that he was raised by Noah and Shem. So whatever the Tower of Babel event was that confused the original language, Abraham wouldn't have been affected by that. So it stands to reason that Abraham and his descendants would have been speaking whatever language was spoken in the antediluvian world. The Jews have always fancied that Hebrew is the antediluvian language, and I think the evidence strongly suggests they're more or less right.

    I would have loved to have gone with you, but if I ever find myself not able to go somewhere like this I'll still be happy to offer whatever information I have, especially if it will lead to revealing the finding of Atlantis to the world.
    I'm just sick right now knowing I could have sent you directly to some amazing finds! Ugh!...
    I'd say more but I really think we should talk in private as soon as possible!
    Let me know the best way to contact you and hopefully will talk soon. Meanwhile I'm going to check out your other videos.

    The two things most Atlantis hunters forget or dismiss are the descriptions of thousands of kilometers of flats and the impassable mud. They are looking for little circular islands under the ocean, which isn't what Plato described. I think the little stones everywhere look suspicious. That place looks like it was pounded hard, really fast, like a Tsunami hit it. I wouldn't completely discount the idea of some megalithic structures, but the biggest stones shown in your video looked like slate, which would have just crumbled under any pressure at all. I think this is the right track, but not what people want to believe was Atlantis. Thanks for this video.

      I agree I was sitting here thinking that all of those rocks look like brick-shaped stones and tiles just thrown around the place. That would make sense. They had thousands of simple brick houses that would have had the force of a massive wave, similar to a shock wave hit them directly. Think of a blast from a nuclear bomb, we've all seen that video of housing and trees being blown away from the blast like they were nothing. The exact same scenario would have happened here. The water would have carried a lot of the infrastructure away. If I were to go there, I would look underground to see if they had a form of plumbing for water and effluent. If the wave only managed to cut away a metre or two off the top, maybe we could find something underneath. I would also dig in the mud because the water would have taken all the topsoil, including tools, toys and jewellery and dumped it in the channels.
      There were a few scenes there where the host completely missed rocks with construction carvings clearly on the outside.

All the rocks that were on top of the volcanic spot wereexploded and dispersed all around the site and mixed with the volcanic rock that cool later. It wasnt just volcanic below the surface... the ringed structure is from a volcanic dome. It rose up and collapsed in upon itself at least 2 different times. This is what resulted in the various rings. VERY common with volcanic domes.
      In fact if you go to the Richat wiki... the very top photo of the site, you can see in the top left of the corner a small distance from Richat is another ringed structure. This was from another separate volcanic event that started with a dome building up and then collapsing. It looks like a target on the ground... just like richat.
      "Exposed within the interior of the Richat Structure are a variety of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. They include rhyolitic volcanic rocks, gabbros, carbonatites and kimberlites. The rhyolitic rocks consist of lava flows and hydrothermally altered tuffaceous rocks that are part of two distinct eruptive centers, which are interpreted to be the eroded remains of two maars. "

I also believe that the design of the 'Eye of Egypt' is basically a map of Atlantis.

    If a giant, country-sized, tsunami had washed over the city from the south-west (as the visible structures show on google earth), then any remnants of human construction would have been washed away from the location toward the BASE of the mountains to the north and north-east. I suspect that any excavation/GPR would most profitably be conducted at those locations. Basically, though it's hard to comprehend the dynamics of a wave that size, there's probably a terminal moraine of debris at some point inland. Mountainous outcrops like those to the north should capture some of the heavier debris of the city even if they didn't block the wave (which clearly they didn't).

    Ofc, maybe not, as the tops of the rings are still plateaus. Maybe those rocks around are all that remains. However, like I said, you almost never find ancient ruins on the surface. And those ruins are all closer to today than Atlantis was to the ruined cities.
