- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- As a Cultural Anthropologist, it's my job to neither immediately believe (nor immediately dismiss) claims & theories related to ancient cultures, of any kind. In this video, I will do my best to briefly explain Plato's geographical account of Atlantis, as well as it's Anthropological history & evidence of hominid inhabitation of the Richat Structure - one of the most widely theorized locations for the Lost City of Atlantis.

Hey everyone, these videos do take a tremendous amount of time to research, write, film & edit (of which I do all on my own, outside of my day job). So if you enjoyed, all I ask is please like & subscribe… and share with anyone who might be interested 🌊🏛️
Also, a couple times here I misspoke & said “11,600 BC”, I meant to say “BP” (before present).
brotha your bout to blow keep up the amazzing work! thank you!
From what I’ve seen, if I’m not mistaken, you’re a Christian right? Do you think Atlantis could’ve been an Antediluvian culture that was completely wiped out by the Flood? And maybe the legends and stories were passed down by Noah’s descendants all the way to Plato?
@@LostCityExpeditionsthe Bible CERTAINLY alludes to the idea of a great civilization prior to a great deluge.
I mean think about it, would Yahweh really flood the Earth because of a few ancient villages practicing witch craft? Or was it likely much, much more than that?
Genuinely appreciate your hard work luke, I can't wait to hear your sit down with Matt Beall!
When are we going back to the Jungle?
This is what science should be. Presenting different theories with evidence. Both you and Jimmy are doing good work. We'll just have to see as more evidence surfaces.
I was really hoping someone who really adhered to the scientific method would say, “hey, yeah! This could be it!”
Still fun to dream about. Some people dream so hard they accept anything that they hear and I really, really envy them.
Luke has a logic proposal based in known data, instead of Jimmy who is a plagiarist of other's work and places incredible theories because he is actualy uneducated.
I'd like to point out that it not being manmade in no way means man couldn't have used it. Kind of like the yonagumi structure off the coast of Japan.
I firmly believe Richat is Atlantis.
Thanks for the shout out!
To be clear, I actually went there and walked down those canals, which are accompanied by very clear unnatural quarry scarring.
Do you have videos? That's so cool!!!
Stig is a legend.
Not true. It’s not Atlantis. Get over it.
prove me wrong couch troll@@Americathestupid
Why would it need to be a manmade structure in order for it to have been the lost city of atlantis?
You are right, it didn't need to be man made, possibly altered, but not man-made.
Were there not 10 kingdoms that were all part of the Atlantean empire? Perhaps the Eye was just part of that empire?
Yes! I believe that is the case. Plato's dialogue actually describes the regions. The Eye was part of Atlantis as it was in Libya at the time which he says was part of Atlantis. It is still possible that large islands existed in the Atlantic.
exactly this, Atlantis was an empire withe multiple cities.
A little curiosity into the ancient world is never a bad thing
The structure and its location fits practically all of the details stated in the story. The only major difference is the size, which could be due to thousands of years of misunderstanding of different units of measurement or exaggeration.
It’s not Atlantis. Get over it.
I think they are pyramids more than just mountains because of the lines. I'd believe if they were mountains they wouldn't have the lines. Just my 2 cents.
You are referring to the ''egg"? Yes, it tells me they are levels of the pyramids, but the angular shape reminds me more of the Nubian pyramids, further South of Egypt.
@@Carolevw Artistic licence. But they obviously are pyramids.
Love the scientific approach to these pop culture theories that academia is often so quick to dismiss. I studied anthro a bit in college as well, and I've never stopped thinking about the spontaneous intercontinental spawning of civilizations. It was always too big a coincidence. I enjoy speculating wildly about what the answer could be (i.e. aliens) but I'm also very grounded in the reality that its probably not aliens, but some other not-yet-understood variable. Hope you're able to make enough off these to take it full time!
😭😭😭😭😭
Anthropology is mostly pseudoscience where the establishment indoctrinates students with atheist creation myths such as the racist "we came from subhuman blacks" assumption I refuted easily in my channel.
Fantastic job. I learned a lot today.
It would be awesome if you and Jimmy corsetti could have a podcast in the near future, to discuss your thoughts! That would be very interesting i think!
I’d love to. Just because I may disagree with some doesn’t mean I dislike them or think they’re not credible.
We’re getting to a point in the ancient civ industry where things are getting too combative.
Jimmy is a large reason behind why I even started making videos. Would love to chat with him
That guy is a joke.
@1:25 it was clearly NOT a man made structure, but it was a natural one that was developed into a city, like all cities are.
It’s not Atlantis. Get over it.
Love your work Luke, keep it up. My brother and I are saving to do an expedition with you one day
Shoot me a DM on Instagram when you’re ready! 🏛️
“Personally looked into this” = I opened Google
I realize it sounds really edgy but yeah he's going to open google. All researchers, professional or otherwise use google. It's been decades past for research to just be done via books alone in a library. The internet is an encyclopedia of knowledge. It's a tool. Does it have a lot of other shit on it? Yeah it does. That's why you cross-reference shit and establish reasonable baselines. I've read thousands of books. I'm very well read. I have lots of knowledge. Know where I found out about most of the books? The internet. How I acquired them? The internet. How I found other similar books? The internet. Could I have done it without the internet? Yeah.... Would it be a million times slower and less-efficient? Yeah... Opening google isn't an insult.
Yep. Opened Google. Wrote a script, found images, made a nice long video explaining everything in a condensed format.
Meanwhile, you: Opened RUclips and left a comment.
Thank you for your contribution. 🧎🏽
One thing we have to keep in mind always is that the Greeks, and Plato was no exception to this, tended describe things in their terms. So, Plato calling Atlantis "Atlantis" is not necessarily what they themselves would've called themselves, never mind what the Egyptian priest that relayed the story to Solan would have called them. That "Atlantis" would've had a temple to Poseidon, really? Or was it just another sea god and Poseidon was the best way he thought to relay this concept to his readers.
Good and valid points/questions
I believe Plato never 'published' this. It was found in his possession when he died. It may have just been the scribed dialogue between Critias and Socrates, who knows? The older Egyptian priest took Solon to the temple and showed him the stories that were CARVED onto temple walls, to keep them preserved. Sadly fate has destroyed the temple. Abydos is similar in that it holds the line of Pharaoh's through the ages.The story comes out of the loss of history through cataclysms, something none of us have managed to keep in mind in the current day. This is why the Hellenes did not know their own history. The books of Critias and Timeous are easy to learn - you should read/listen to it. It's only 30 minutes on RUclips. As for Poseidon, this was explained well in the legend. Poseidon was allocated the largest portion of land on earth and all the waters, as it was his godly strength. He fell in love with Cleito, a mortal beauty, and she bore him five sets of twin boys: the firstborn being Atlas. He fashioned this famous city in the fairest of lands that was her home, not necessarily on the islands in front of the Pillars of Hercules. Both lands could have been possible.
@@Carolevw interesting view. Might need further examination but this is the great thing about history and science. It's always good to question the status quo to keep improving in knowledge
Your comment is mental gymnastics.
The thing is that the myth of Atlantis is present in Egyptian cosmogony. And the ancient priests themselves said that the Egyptians were the descendants of the Atlanteans. There is more behind this myth than the simple dialogues of Plato, since we find the mention of Atlantis in the ''books of the pyramids'' under the name ''Amentah''.
Great video It was a breath of fresh air. Thank 🦾☀️
It's too difficult to say, there are some things that support it and some things that don't, like Mauritanians say their first King was called Atlas, the highest ratio of twins per capita globally is on the western border of Mali. You should read Plato if you haven't. It having no surviving pillars, statues, structures etc is not helpful nor is its location. It was definitely PART of Atlantis however, as Plato describes the Mediterranean lands well. This doesn't discount the sunken land and islands of the Azores. Whoever said it was meant to be NATURAL? Plato just said Poseidon 'fashioned' it into areas of land and water. Scientists claim it was an imploded volcano from millions of years ago. Entirely possible. Being so far inland is contrary to the story but we don't know if the land lifted or the canal was supported by large rivers. Too hard to answer, but it would be great if Mauritania opened up its doors to open-minded archeologists for a bit of excavation and lidar detecting. Gold is too prolific to allow this, but sometimes a good mystery is worth more than gold!
*Solon visited the temple of Neith, not Nefru @0:42 seconds in. (you do say Neith later though) :)
Well in the beginning I meant it to be a rehash of how the story is usually told nowadays. I don’t think most people say Neith now-for whatever reason
@@lukecaverns Yes, I was confused by Nefru, but I have always known from the story that it was the temple of Sais, who could have been the elder priest of said temple.

I just love seeing people like you stunned their mouths wide open and jaws dropped when you see the kind of pre-historic structures like Gobekli tepe.
9:20 These Quartzasite hand tools, are on a MOH Hardness scale of about a 9 MOH. Flint Clovis, & Salutrean tools are far weaker, & are a 5 MOH. Know that Quartzasite tools are by far the oldest, yet are also by far the superior ones.
Your objective take from an institutional standpoint is very refreshing. Thank you
Plato described Atlantis beyond the Pillars of Hercules. Is it beyond people's ability to accept Plato was quoting factually! Spain would be the logical place for Atlantis. I believe exploratory diving off the coast of Spain has found evidence of much ancient shipping.
Loved the video!
I didn’t hear any evidence that the Richat probably isn’t Atlantis. It’s also key to understand that dating structures like the Pyramids is not fact, but hypothesis.
Has anyone dug to a depth that could contain 12-20,000 year old artifacts? To my knowledge this has not been done. Could ground penetrating radar get down there?
This is a recurrent trend in archaeology. They dig in layers and find different things in different layers. Unsurprisingly deeper layers correspond to older stuff, newer layers correspond to newer stuff. It's like really intuitive isn't IT? So you go down deeper, older stuff, go even deeper, even older stuff! How about deeper *NOPE NO MORE OUR MODELS SAY BLURR BLURR BLURR* okay but we could at least check? *NOPE WE'RE ARBITRARILY STOPPING HERE*
When a Bank is robbed the Police immediately ask the people to write down exactly what happened because after an hour each person's recollection of what happened changes
You forgot to mention what disintigrated the mountains in the bullseye center called the Sebket el Guelb. I've been very clear that this is most likely an impact crater. It would have pulverized the entire set of artifacts including the stone and the orichalcum .
Hi Stig, if you still believe that the centre of the city's island held a crater, then you can't truly accept Plato's dialogue. The massive tsunami came from the Mediterranean, swept through Tunisia, headed South and South West to the Atlantic, over the Richat structure. It was enough to wipe away everything in its path. If it was a crater that took the city then it would not have been succumbed by water as the story goes. Oz Geographics has investigated Jimmy's story and has discovered the tsunami flow to be factual based on unaltered land formations.
geologic structures does NOT preclude that it cannot be a location of a manmade structure. That would be like saying Manhattan Island can't be a city as it's an island!! IF I wanted to make such a brilliant design for a commercial city which was also defenseable....I'd FIND a Richat Structure to BUILD IT ON!! Either that...or I'd have to BUILD a MANMADE "Richat Structure: to BUILD my city on!!
8:08 There could also be overall climactic causes that made it easier for everyone at the same time too.
Ancient humans knew about it. They were everywhere around that time and defintly if the structure was there then they used it
Nope. No evidence exists of human occupation.
It’s not Atlantis. Get over it.
@@Americathestupid they're legit pots and human lived there
@@wingedhussar1453 occupation =\= settlement.
No evidence of a city or civilization.

Eh@@wingedhussar1453
I'm not a huge fan of the Richat theory, but you don't give it much thought at all. If you were sailing to a region of Atlantis, including its main colonies and the Richat, you would sail through the pillars to reach them. Thus, they are beyond the pillars. Also, there is evidence the area was SCOURED. Do we find artifacts after an area has been scoured like that? Not that I'm aware of.
So I don't think this analysis is much more than a shallow gloss.
I agree. Nothing of much substance in his dialogue, plus he's incorrect about the direction of water flows over that region.
Yet we do find artifacts there. Pottery shards and the like so your theory doesn't hold, pardon the pun, water.
@@swirvinbirds1971 You're all wet. You don't even know what I'm talking about. You make so little sense, you are probably one of those argument bots used to bump up comments. 🤖
I love this stuff. So glad I found your channel. I think I noted this before however there are colossal monuments in Nevada and Utah that I would enjoy seeing you analyze and present.
Could you give me the names of the sites in-particular that you find fascinating?
@@lukecaverns The sites mainly are ignored or left unidentified by the government. One site is CHIEF MOUNTAIN SOUTH near Caliente NV. It is a campsite trail head through just next and beyond it is a large ancient native complex with thousands of statues. Many many large heads and more many fantasy animals. All of this goes unidentified and unprotected. There is a tremendous amount of stuff across and near the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. On a road titled Houseboat Cove is a natural pyramid fashioned like a huge monkey or some creature near it in the same area are two large heads that make Mt Rushmore look small. On Eight Mile Road looking south is a tremendous sized native head looking to the sky. Some of the Lake Mead Sites have parking and viewing platforms though no markers or signs. Driving from Mesquite to Overton on the freeway there is a mountain dressed to look like a man lying on his back. At Paterson Pass campground across the valley is a mountain configured to look like a man with a bird on his head. I think I recently discovered two huge faces in the Grand Canyon. I am retired living in a van and I would be happy to show these better than Egypt creations. At the Wildlife Camp near Alamo is a mountain face looking toward the rising sun it contains an Egyptian All Seeing Eye. Across the valley only visible at sunset is a sleeping face looking toward the sky.
why smithsonian so scarred if people find out the past?
To manipulate the truth and therefore manipulate the present and future
They're not the least bit scared. It's just that the batshit crazies who like to believe all sorts of nonsense, such as believers in an ancient, advanced civilization, need a scapegoat for their complete lack of credible evidence for their beliefs. So they've chosen the Smithsonian and built an insane conspiracy theory around them supposedly hiding all the evidence.
The Richat structure is also called The Eye of Africa. But think about it for a second, normally an eye is on a face and a face normally has two eyes unless it's a cyclops. So the Richat structure is just the pupil of the left eye. The nose is highly eroded the mouth is barely visible as is the left ear and right eye. There is a family portrait in the beard that matches a complimentary family portrait in North America, where the father is white and the mother is black. I discovered this just before covid hit.
There is a theme that carries through all of the global Land Art sculptures where the left eye open represents a follower and the right eye open represents an initiator. So those who lived in Atlantis were left eye followers.
Recent Lidar results show several huge structures as well.
My question: Where are other structures like this is this around the world was not man made? If this was just a natural formation there'd be more that look exactly like it.
Really like your approach toaawrds these subjects and presentation style👍
Maybe ancient African people just found it and think the Richat is a mega city ruin or some kind of higher beings creation at first, than they spread the story with their trade routes, than the people of other civilizations spread it out again. After years of spreading, the information gets more and more misunderstanding. When Plato and his elder parents heard this, they were already so wrongly informed so they believe there was Atlantis
In this context, Probably in the title should be spelled, Definitely.
The Greek or Egyptian ships rarely sailed in the open seas. They mostly followed the shore. So after leaving the mediterranean into the Atlantic, they would have taken it granted to follow the African coast and not to venture into the open ocean. During the Saharan humid period there would have been rivers connecting the west coast of Africa to the inland. Maybe the Richat structure being once a huge city is mostly legend, but there could have been people who called them selves "atlantians" living near these rivers and they created the legend when the Sahara became dry and their culture collapsed. The Egyptian traders picked up the legend from there.
Great work. Very informative about the possibilities.
You say you have a degree. And it's in a field of science no less (kind of). So what's with the tinfoil hat clickbaity title for this amazing geological feature? Ah.. clickbaity. Damn, fell for it.
Hawaii is built on a magma flow right?
I think the city was made out of geo polymer not natural there is a lot of geological sites that arent natural they just seem that way especially walls that they say are sedimentary rock but have no shells or or fossilisation
Always glad to see another video from you Luke! I think that the Richat Structure being insinuated to be Atlantis is a preposterous example of cherry picking. And that's what we get mad at the orthodoxy for. Glad to see you dispute this one!
If you watch some of Jimmy Corsetti's later videos, the prevailing hypothesis is that a flood washed over north Africa from east to west which swept Atlantis into the Atlantic ocean. It wouldn't necessarily leave much traces...you'd need to dig off the coast of north Africa.
That guy is a joke.
He’s good at convincing ignorant people to believe what they want to believe.
It’s not Atlantis. Get over it.
If you watched all his vids on Atlantis he makes a strong case. I don't see any strong contradictions. He however has said some other semi-unrelated things that I don't agree with; example having a guy on claiming the Egyptians were black and believing that one Egyptian mural depicts a lightbulb when it's something related to the Egyptian creation story.@@Americathestupid
@@Americathestupid I think he is right at least in a part of his descriptions, but unfortunately he describes badly other people's work with his own ignorant and foolish way.
My interpretation of the flood was in fact from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Possibly with the melting of glaciers above the black sea eroding a way through the bosporous flooding the med up to and over the African plain, to Atlantis at the richat washing its buildings and civilization out into the Atlantic. I could be wrong. But that was my take on what I have heard and what the geology may show with the erosion patterns.
The idea that those three constructs on the egg are depictions of mountains is preposterous. What kind of mountains have horizontal lines across them?
You are kidding, right?
Have you never seen mountains formed from sedimentary rock layers? It would take you about two seconds to search "sedimentary mountains" and find dozens of pictures of them.
what's the name of your podcast
It’s going to be called “Temple Talk”. Basically the first casual ancient history talk show ever made haha

18° 9' 28.8482" N, 30° 58' 57.0328" E (in Sudan, North of the Nile), there's a structure, eerily similar, to Richat. Smaller, more eroded (not surrounded by mountains). Richat is not Atlantis
what does the existence of a similar structure have to do with wether or not richat is atlantis?
Science seem to have a problem with where the eye of Sahara is located.
5:02 Luke, you got the direction of the water passing over North Africa incorrect. The tsunami impact location is in the north eastern Mediterranean, causing the striations in the sand to run from North East to South West. Thus not coming from the Atlantic but from the Mediterranean.
Except those "striations" are dunefields...
@@danielfallu5716 dunefields would be composed of sand, and striations are the ripples in the sand caused by water moving over it
@@nickdoneysr Oz Geographics YT channel has investigated the flow and has come to the conclusion it was possibly something hitting SE Greek coast and this caused catastrophic tsunami over Tunisia, SW towards and into Atlantic ocean.
@@Carolevwprecisely, that was what I was referring to Carole

@@Americathestupid The Sahara Desert is one of the areas of the globe where very little archaeological research has been undertaken. So yes, if we don't look, we sure won't find it. Keep in mind that the same thing was said for the city of Troy, it was a myth before being discovered by someone who decided to dig.
@@PepitoMegaChocolato it’s not Atlantis, get over it.
From the “beyond the pilars of Hercules” point of view of the Egyptians . How would they travel to the richat structure ? I’d say by sailing through the Mediterranean beyond the pillars ! and down south towards the west African coast .. or walking across the Sahara yes maybe ..
btw great content :)
Except the Greek word used is "anti," generally meaning "across" or "opposite," not simply "beyond." It is described as an island continent in the ocean opposite the pillars.
@@danielfallu5716 I actually looked this up as I wanted to be sure what was said. Plato's book says "in front of" the Pillars of Heracles . However, he also described Atlantis to be a series of colonies, including Northern Mediterranean up to Tuscany, Italy; Southern Mediterranean up to Egypt, including all of Libya (most of Northern Africa at the time, including Mauritania and Mali, Seneca to about Guinea. The territory also included islands west of the Pillars of Heracles including Azores, - Spain, France etc, but remember most of the time the ice age covered most of Northern Mediterranean. Not sure how much of UK, Ireland etc was covered over. Not a lot I don't think.
Did you look it up in English? It wasn't written in English.
@@danielfallu5716Nah, it's on RUclips, mate!
I agree with you on this. I think the story of Atlantis got bigger, and bigger, but people forgot where it was. I think Atlantis was a city on Thera (Santorini), and the story of its destruction, and why its story got bigger with passing of time.
I would argue the myth of atlantis is based off of Helike, which was an ancient Greek city in the mainland that got swallowed by the sea. Which i happen to live near!
Using this guys logic it can not have been Santorini, since Santorini is a geological structure.
I'm a new subsciber. Good explanations! I would like to know what Plato meant by that whole true continent near or beyond Atlantis islands, Mu/Lemuria? America? Antarctica and South America joined together?(as on Piri Reis map). Anyway, labyrinth of Egypt is another mystery I would like to know about. Greetings from Chile.
I remember the same debates from the 90s ... it resurfaces every decade or so.
Its also a insult to the ancient egyptians and blantatly ignoring the points of the original story.
People like Jimmy in Bright insight are simply spreading false claims, and false facts. He mixes geological time periodes and so much more.
Edit... the absolute nail in the coffin for the richat theory, is that we have 20 000 years old archeological discoveries in the region, and many of them surface finds.
This would be impossible if there was a huge flood removing stone houses, but leaving skeletons on the surface from 10 000 years earlier.
Love your channel Luke! Thank you for bringing sanity to modern archeology. Fringe archeology has gone a little out of control since Covid… lol.
It might have been the inspiration for the design of the capital of Atlantis in the Souss valley in Morocco.
Thanks
I encourage you to take a look at the Sarcophagi of the Camposanto photographs. There was an interesting video called '4 Roman Treasures destroyed by WW2' that had a wall picture that looked strangely like a woman holding a disc that looks like the Eye of Richat. Makes you wonder what the monument was describing.
It’s not Atlantis. Get over it
@@Americathestupid
No I think Santorini and Thera was Atlantis. I think this was a mine city. A large Acid mine, that when the ocean hit it, caused the super heating of the rock and stone around, and destroyed all the plant life across the area it carried the water. If you look to the east, along the 'mountain line' via google maps it appears as if they tried to make a 'land bar' or 'dam' that broke and the water broke through at some point in history.
I just thought it was interesting that the wall diagram drew something that looked like the physical structure of this "mine".
If natural, anywhere we could we see something similar, even on a smaller scale?
To me it looks like a gigantic geyser with a smaller one next to it. Water above as below.
i think atlantis is the minoans destroyed by a volcano legend solved
richat structure is fascinating though
Good video. Nice to see some objectivity with open-minded spirit.
i agree with something similar to your last statement i believe Atlantis was at the Richat just do not believe dates are correct
Luke crushing folks dreams on the regular lol
Hahaha Atlantis, in my opinion, very likely is still under the ground somewhere.
The main problem with the Richat is, of course, the lack of evidence of human habitation similar to what Plato described, in 9,600 BC.
We would find something indicating a city. Heck, even look at North America near where the comet may have hit at the end of the Younger Dryas, we find MASSIVE pits or destroyed mega-fauna like Dire Wolves, Mammoths, etc.
If Atlantis was at the Richat, we’d see the same thing.
It’s still out there, we just haven’t found it yet 🕵🏻♂️
@@lukecaverns they found pots tho
@lukecaverns
Hi Luke, there is a RUclips video of a guy that risked it and went to the Richat years back
In the villages nearby there are loads of evidence being sold as trinkets which would be evidence of habitation and a possible flood as it is all mixed up from different ages I think
Problem is not enough research and not enough digging to show it is not Atlantian in some way
I can look on images and find the actual channels dug in the ground which show the whole area was serviced by the rivers that ran either side of the Atlas mountains - too much going on here to say it was not once important but agree that as yet cannot say it is Atlantis
Will try to find that video for you if I can
Archaic lens - he is on Twitter and RUclips
Like you a guy that actually goes to the place he is talking about
@@richw103 wrong name
It’s Atlantis
It will prove to be the location of the capital city atlantis one day.
The direction of the flow of water is most likely from the Mediterranean.
About the egg, look... Who would draw straight parallel horizontal lines, in order to represent mountains? Plus, exactly in the same number of the three main pyramids? Plus, what seems to be a river, in an analogous position, as to the Nile, relatively to the pyramids? Doesn't it all strike you as being too much coincidence, to be just that? Why not let go the supposed dating of the pyramids? So many people have been noticing that the Sphinx has water marks, so that it simple has to be dated wrong, so why not let go the dating of the pyramids, as well? Plus the fact that none of the civilizations living in Egypt in the eras about which we have clear records left no clue about the technology clearly used to build pyramids. About Atlantis being beyond the Pillars of Hercules in the Atlantic Ocean, there is nothing wrong with the Richat structure being it, once you would consider the Atlantic Ocean reaching it, from the West, plus the many evidences presented for the presence of the sea, boming from that side. Plus, what about the many other arguments brought up by the "youtubers" you mention? What about the recorded elephants, both in Plato's dialogues on Atlantis and in the African continent, and at that area in particular? What about the typical rocks in the same color? What about the matching of the measures? What about the quantity of salty water and sea-animals, around the Richat? What about the location of the "Atlantes" in Herodotus map, and in other very ancient maps? What about the Atlas mountains in North, just as all those records? What about Atlas being the founding ruler of Atlantis, and traditionally considered the first king of Mauritania? Have you ever considered that the Pillar of Hercules/Herakles/Melkart being associated with the very demi-god character, who in his attributed complex 10th Labour, in Herodotus's version, regardless of that having exact reference to actual facts, there clearly are elements associatiing Egypt and Atlas? From Egypt, where King Busiris tried to chain Herakles, he would have broken the chains, and proceeded to the Hesperides Garden in order to collect its three golden apples, where he would have found the Titan Atlas, holding the heavens, replacing him, while Atlas obtained the apples, due to his relation with the Hesperides (his daughters)? If that does not place Atlantis (Atlas's Kingdom) in Africa, it is hard to imagine what would. Of course, there are many questions yet to be answered, but look, the number of "coincidences" is way more than enough to make the Richat hypothesis the most reasonable one, if compared to any other. I totally agree with you, when you say that, as a researcher, one should not necessary hold a belief or simply dismiss it, before thoroughly examining the evidences. On the other hand, the Richat-Atlantis theory is not being merely presented as a "belief" of some "youtubers", but as a reasonable hypothesis, and probably the richest one available, in face of not two or three, but of a solid amount of evidences, of different kinds. You picked a few of those and argued against them, but I wouldn't say you have presented a definite knocking-down argument against any, plus you left along several others. Why not at least recognizing as researchers (instead of merely dismissin them right out of the bat, as "youtubers"), those who have at least brought up together an interesting and original set of evidences and arguments, in favor of a reasonably hypothesis, which could possibly solve such an important and challenging problem, as that of Atlantis, as reported in two important dialogues of a philosopher at the stature and importance of Plato, which also fits some many other historical data and reports?
Paragraphs man
@@jarvis911 Sorry for that! Thanks.
Nice show, would have been good to reference Herodotus map from 450BCE, which shows Atlantis in the area of the Richat Structure.
It’s not Atlantis. Get over it.
@@Americathestupidits not impossible.
@@GeorgeDenis. it’s impossible. That’s not Atlantis. It’s a geological formation. Get over it.
@@Americathestupid I also think that this is a geological formation. What makes you believe thats imposible for people to built over the already existing formation?
@@GeorgeDenis. there may have been people living there sporadically over the last few thousand years, but it was never a city.
There are major glaring issues in your assessment of Atlantis
1. 4:02 Plato NEVER described Atlantis as being “West” of Gibraltar, that is an assumption based on your flawed linguistic interpretation of his words. Plato said Atlantis was “beyond” or “in front of” Gibraltar. He never said West, that’s a huge difference. You misunderstood and mistranslated Plato.
2. Plato never called it an “Island” he called it Atlantis NESOS. The word nesos has several meanings but people get caught up on the word “continent” or oceanic “island” because they’re speaking modern language like English. Atlantis was said to have concentric rings filled with water, Atlas Nesos perfectly describes that.
3. 6:55 calling the place “poverty stricken” is ignorance, just because they don’t have economic ambitions to build skyscrapers doesn’t make them poverty stricken, in fact many of them live longer than an average person in the West (that’s if they farm or have access to farm tribes). That’s eurotypical thinking.
4. @11:00 that’s based on your ignorance of both those people and the Atlantean civilization.. The Dogon tribe are closer to Atlantean than anyone else in the world and they’re within walking distance.
You have a naive and unlearned mind but you confidently made assumptions that were thoroughly debunked.
this guys research is wikipedia 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Tunisian ancient lake and the Sahara
I dont think we will ever find Atlantis. I think it was real. And I do think it was at the richat. But I think I suffered such a cataclysmic destruction we will never find any evidence of it being there. The area looks like it was swept off the face of the earth. The only other place would be around the Azores and the mid Atlantic ridge. But until they do some serious research, I contend the richat matches too many boxes. Remember elephants where there.....
That can't be atlantis, it's a natural formation! Well ya people live on islands and continents all the time nothing new lol
It is a natural formation whose natural physical structure could have been utilized by an ancient civilization. LiDAR and as slightly alluded to in this video show large foundations in the structure. Real digs are required to prove if this was the site of some past prehistoric culture and alluded to by Plato in his Criteas.
Nah, the British and Dutch brought a bunch of dirt with them to make the island of New York City.
In fact, all of Southern California was water. You guessed it, the Mexican Empire filled it in!
Everybody knows that humans don’t make civilization on natural land.
Thank you people who does there research all these things were claimed not to be real now look I believe Atlantis was here just look it literally matches the description of wat Plato said anyone that is denying it just simply needs help💯
I think Atlantis was in the Land Of Mu or Antarctica
Good stuff
The welsh helped build atlantis. They .map based on platos. Atlantis nantwich map ut
Google Ancient map images of Herodotus. You might find some really interesting stuff!
To say probably means it might be.
Well done
How huge is this Area, compared to that of Asia and Libya together?... Plato describes it as a continent... Beyond the Hercules Pillars... OUT OF Mediterranean Sea... This continent was round and logically such a large continent like Asia, if you make the calculations, and the area of Asia+Libya, is the result of a circle which OVERLAPS the shores of Spain to the East, and the shores to America to the West, if we place it at the center of Atlantic Ocean. There it was, before, when America was further to the West than it is now. The sinking of this Continent at the depth of Atlantic, was actually pull down ths Atlantis in between, and by the laws of physics, fetched America nearer to Europe... Those who managed to survive, fleed to the East to Coasts of Portugal, and to the west to the Coasts of America. Just think ligically, what most probably happened. All the other theories, that Atlantis might be at Santorini, or at the Inner part ths shores of Spain, or... Morocco... are illogical... Read Plato exactly what he sais, and try to put all on google map... to see yoirself... what it co;yldn't be, and what it could be...
By the laws of physics? Sorry, but you're clearly clueless about physics and other sciences, such as geology. The sort of catastrophe you describe not only can't happen, but we can say with absolute certainty that it DIDN'T happen, as it would have released so much energy that the Earth's crust would have melted. People wouldn't have fled. They would ALL have died.
It is Atlantis, no doubt here
Jimmy Dark Side 💀
How refreshing. Just the known facts, and that's all i want. thank you!
Its right outside The pillars of hercules and just by the border of Azures. Wtf is this kid talking abt?
Gaia??? 😂😂😂😂
if sahara desert were once a forested area, there is a great possibility that the fossil fuel on that area are massive and very rich of oil reserves, why not make drills to extract the fuels down there and used it so that there will be a rollback of fuel price in the world😁
thats not how fossil fuels work
bro from wikipedia source it means fossils comes from the remains of dead plants and animals for your information@@Squig96
That it is a geological structure doesnt exclude it was used by humans at all. Sorry. Yes, its a geological structure, just like for instance Santorini is. Santorini is also used by humans, even today. Better yet, a geological structure waiting to be exploited by humans but never used sounds more illogical than humans reaching the place and thinking this is the best place to settle down. And yes, it sounds big, but its about the size of paris today. So it would have been a big city, but so is paris. Sorry, next time get some better arguments if you try to debunk it. Im not convinced.
The artifacts of Atlantis if it were at the Richat structure would have been flushed across the western part of Mauritania and come to rest somewhere in the Ocean off Western Africa. I don’t think there have been many excavations in that part the Atlantic. The land patterns show the direction it should have taken into the ocean. Water is very destructive. Enough water to get over the mountains would be enough to wash away an entire city. As far as the directions being beyond the gate, well, just consider the road bears left beyond the gate and you could find yourself at Richat. Corsetti has continued to find collateral infirmation whic( supports his claim. As far as the Egyptian archeologists, can they be trusted after telling SO MANY LIES which continue to be repeated. Can they be trusted after concealing things and preventing investigations? Nope.
3:24 - This statue looks similar to Aztec statues. Hope your channel gets more subs. Previous Google satellite map images showed bigger volcano rings, almost covered by sand, south-East Sahara. There’re other megalithic structure peeking out here and there. That indicates Sahara was populated and rich with greenery.
Makes one wonder if there’re Sahara LiDAR imagery available. That might show what is under the sand.
Off the topic- FFC is going to vote for new guideline rules this Wednesday. That Biden administration is pushing to micromanage internet.
