Unusual Tournament Posted September 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Is this Atlantis, hiding in plain sight in the Sahara? The famed lost city of Atlantis may have been found in a rather unlikely place - the Sahara Desert. According to a YouTube clip uploaded earlier this week that's found a massive audience online, the remains of the ringed city Plato spoke of in the fourth century BC can be found in the African country of Mauritania. And it's been hiding in plain sight this whole time. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2018/09/is-this-atlantis-hiding-in-plain-sight-in-the-sahara.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual Tournament Posted September 10, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The diameter of the Eye of the Sahara measures 23.5km, according to Google Map's measuring tool and Atlantis was said to measure 127 Stadia, or in today's terms that is 23.49km. According to Plato: "There were alternate zones of sea and land encircling each other, there were two of land and three of water.” He also wrote about a mountain to the north of the city "and encompassing a great plain of an oblong shape in the south”. According to conspiracy site Joy Lovers: “A quick study of the topography of this area does indeed show a high, mountainous, ridge to the north with a great oval shaped plain to the south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essan Posted September 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I always thought Atlantis was a city/island. Not a geological feature How, exactly, did the Richat Structure send an army to invade the Meditarranean, only to be defeated by Bronze Age Athens, thousands of years before either the Bronze Age or Athens existed? Answer than and you may have a case 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essan Posted September 10, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 10, 2018 And no, I don't think the structure inspired Plato's description of Atlantis. Unless he had access to a helicopter? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon101 Posted September 10, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) What level of stupid banality does a person need to descend to in order to grant even a smidgen of credibility to this nincompoopery?. It's a geological feature, and anyone positing otherwise should have fun poked at them. Edited September 10, 2018 by Jon101 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
