@@Neeko_Z well, it could have been a meteorite causing the flood, which would mean that theres still a big bolder laying under sea. Like how they found out there was an impact at the proposed location of sodom
Jimmy gives some great information. You should also check out the Suspicious Observers channel for lots of data on this subject. The cause of these disasters is probably not a meteor or comet, but the sun itself.
Jimmy from Bright Insight offers spine tingling evidence. The timeline is exactly as Plato wrote, and geologically aged. Too much of a coincidence, this is now the Found Lost City of Atlantis.
Every geologist in the world is laughing at this because the rings are volcanic remnants, not constructed walls and dated to 1.4 million years ago. They show evidence of a tsunami rolled over the area approximately 12,900 years ago which caused the erosion we see today.
I used to be a Bright Insight fan, but he presents no evidence that Atlantis existed at the Richat Structure prior to the Younger Dryas. Mudslides in the region at that time, as intriguing as they are, are not evidence for Atlantis. Most of his actual Atlantis evidence comes from the bronze age, which would makes sense if the city DID exist at the Richat Structure, but much closer to the time of Plato than the Younger Dryas.
It's not a theory, it is a hypothesis. Note in science, we have a hypothesis, a theory and a law to describe things. A hypothesis is an unproven idea. To rise to a theory, one must devise experiments to prove it. A law in science is a mathematical equation to describe something. All Jimmy and others are doing is speculating, making it a very weak hypothesis, indeed.

I like the theory. I want it to be true. I saw this video with Randall Carlson. He kinda debunks it iguess. Or maybe he's wrong. Maybe it is Antlantis maybe it isnt. But the video is called "Randall Carlson Explains Why The Eye of the Sahara Can't Be The Lost City of Antlantis" i wish i never watched it haha because now im skeptical.

I appreciate how you explained certain floods, such as the biblical flood were told in the form of myths. The fact A00 is the oldest known haplogroup evolving in Africa some 270,000 years ago shows the biblical story of modern humans originating in Middle East Mesopotamia is likewise mythological.
@@geonomad1 One rather puzzling aspect of this video was the unusual departure from your previous genetic analyses, which I found quite surprising. It seemed as though you were attempting to associate possible flooding events and geographic structures with ancient writings including the Atlantis references implying such accounts may not be mythical. Certainly local and regional floods occurred for various reasons which likely were interpreted by ancient peoples as supernaturally induced, so while some stories potentially arose from historical events the notion of godly intervention was mythically derived. I appreciate this video didn't cross the line suggesting such environmental catastrophes represented evidence of gods. Well done!
@@user-vr9tr3xq7r I enjoyed your points, and believe it comes down to interpretation as well. Some interpret the Genesis account very differently, but at the end of the day it ultimately boils down to whether a supernatural god created the first bipedal life form, or if life evolved without supernatural influence. Although existence of a deity cannot be dismissed beyond all doubt the question is whether a supernatural god may be dismissed beyond reasonable doubt. Such analysis is only possible if the review examines and compares all lines of evidence to avoid the pitfall of confirmation bias. Sometimes folks want something to be true because they've been promised a reward in exchange for accepting various propositions, and it's precisely why judges always ask defendants if anything has been promised in exchange for accepting their deal. The question of who's judgment is most objective often depends on what a person stands to gain or lose, especially if the implications involve life after death. Thoughts?
a couple tubers have been embracing that, as it appears to coincide with plato, paraphrasing here, via british archeologist i recall last name hammond possibly, and an american, who i can't be bothered because he thinks covid wasn't real, but they both note plato to have written about atlantis, an island in an archipelago of islands west of gibralter in the atlantic that vanished from existence, without a hint it ever existed, overnight, and hammond glinted at the unanswered speculation atlantis could have been in or around the azores
I maintain that whatever caused this major flood was much bigger than any lake or volcanic tsunami, although could have contributed to it. Something has made all oceans shift around the planet, or that the ice sheets over the Northern Hemispheere melted suddenly. I also maintain that through a process known as isotasy, when the land west of the Gibraltar Strait sunk, water sloshed inland through Europe and then back out again. At this point east of the Richat Structure, land has RISEN and swollen the coast of Mauritania, thereby making the Richat structure an inland location, whereupon once it was only a short canal to the Coast. I suggest it was where the bedrock was exposed that was the coastline and that the river flowed from the Mediterranean down through Africa and out to the Atlantic Ocean.
I like your assessment. I'm inclined to believe the ancient stories of disaster and war with nuclear weapons. It may have been a combination of things that led to the world being reformed
@@KimAlmighty1 Yep I think so also, whether there was a sunburst that created meteors, the tail of a meteor, but I think there were hundreds of them, possibly a time of active Taurids, or the sunburst.
a comet or asteroid hitting one of the north american ice sheets that covered canada and the northern states from the midwest to the pacific with 3 miles of ice. a comet or asteroid hitting that would cause the ice to melt and raise the earth's oceans by 400 feet, around the globe. this is commonly referred to as the younger dryus, the start of. the other plausible cause would be the same comet or asteroid hitting the atlantic, which would have heated the sea water to temps over 1000 degrees and all that water would have been dispersed into the atmosphere, covering the sun, heating the atmosphere, melting the ice sheets and all the vapor coming back down as rain in biblical proportions, also referred to as the younger dryus, the end of. timing would be between 6,000 and 12,000 years ago, and what gives these plausibility, nearly every ancient civilization, as far back as 12,000 years ago, tells of a great flood. additionally, either of these events would coincide with the lost city of atlantis, which plato writes with specificity, was located west of gibralter, in the atlantic, not on the african continent
Bright Insight first proposed that the Richat Structure was the Atlantis capital city 4 years ago. Atlantis was an Empire. It wasn't one location. Gaia TV also has an awesome doco called Visiting Atlantis that's very good. But at the end of the day, Bright Insight does deserve the credit for his amazing research.
i recently watched a show with a british archeologist, hammond, i think who offered the following, plato writes that atlantis was an island within a chain of islands west of gibralter in the atlantic that disappeared overnight. a comet impact in the atlantic at the end of the younger dryus would have flooded atlantis overnight, and the comet releasing all the heated vapor into the atmosphere. it would have rained in biblical proportions. it would have warmed the climate, melting what was left of the ice sheets covering north america. that melt water raised the oceans by 400 ft burying any hint that atlantis ever existed. there was an open question speculating that atlantis may have been one of the islands in the azores archipelago
Great work friend. Jimmy from Bright Insight has done well to highlight this, but you have added more depth and geology to this topic. Thanks for sharing 👏👍
@@geonomad1why were you compelled to add r1b into the video to set the precedent of whom you are attributing your findings to? That's super deceptive.
Great vid. There are kms of perfectly linear trenches/canals in and around the Richat. There was an ancient civilization centered in that region during a different geological age, it's quite clear. It was destroyed by cataclysm. Sounds familiar.
Would love it if the Richat structure could be excavated and we could properly date whatever is found there. I think it's likely if not probable a city did exist there at one point, but I'm not yet sold on it being an Atlantis that was destroyed during the Younger Dryas.

My theory is an airburst meteorite above north Africa circa 11600 years ago caused an inland tsunami of the Ahnet lake. This Tsunami flowed over and around the Richat structure into the Atlantic sea. The Tenoumer and Amguid craters could possibly fragments of this event, however there exact formation date is not know but is less then 100,000 years old. P.S. the Richat structure is a mud volcano. There are numerous mud volcanos of smaller size throughout north Africa.
@@TheBludgutz meteorite impact to north africa lakes was dated around 29milions bc. Its calculated from creation of Libyan desert glass.. And Lybian desert glass is on top of layers there, so what evidence you have for your theory? Some geologic proof like glass from inpact?

@@FrancisOfOlissipo. Lol ! Howeverrr…in defense of anybody that makes a video ; there is only so much information to be had, on many subjects. To mention all the sources he got his info from, is that what you want ? I heartily enjoyed the Vampire comment , lol, but I think geonomads done a grand job of this video in a few ways. You’re just cranky lol
Because of the evident flow of water from the Med to the Atlantic past and over the Richat, that area was probably a shallow sea channel making North West Africa an island.
I have been looking at this for some time as I saw one of your earlier Video's. I contend that the explosion that caused the damage in Africa and other places came from the explosion of Santorini in Greece at about 1600 BCE. There were four major explosions, 3 very large and one some what smaller over a period of one day and one night. The research showed that massive amounts of water were moved, almost too much to imagine. If you draw aline from the centre of the caldera ( you will find the South western portion missing), and follow the SW direction you eventually finish up at the Richat Structure and by the way the large scouring on the western coast of Mauritania shows an extreme amount of water. I do believe the Richat Structure is Atlantis as ancient maps show it to be where it always said it was. One of the maps I saw was an ancient Roman map.
no, it can't be atlantis, not even maybe. the oral retelling of the history of atlantis to plato was very specific, in it's geography, it's layout, it's location, and it's end. an island within a chain of islands west of gibralter in the atlantic that disappeared from the map, without a trace, overnight. there's nothing written that can be misinterpreted that it could have been located on the continent.. an island is quite specific, in a chain of islands, very descriptive, west of gibralter, again, highly specific, in the atlantic, leaves no room for doubt it can't be the richat. that disappeared from existence, over night, which is only possible by a great cataclysm, like a meteor hitting in the atlantic. there's some speculation that atlantis could have been part of the azores
From many years of studying this subject, I long ago came to the conclusion that the remains of Atlantis was not sitting at the bottom of the ocean. This is the best evidence I've seen to indicate it's true location.
well the remains would be sitting at the bottom of the ocean, if the Richat is Atlantis then all of the buildings and people would be from the spot of the Richat all the way out to the Ocean. So it would be hard to find anything at all it that large area if the pieces are not large.
There is also a impact in the ocean to the west of India at this same time that could have sent a massive tidal wave towards the middle east and africa.
lol yeah and there is one also in north america blablabla , seems like more time goes on more the story is wrecked and rewrote by a bunch of random youtube scientific Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage coined in 2013 that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place.
Very impressive presentation.....I've been watching all of your Richat structure videos and they are by far the most informative videos on Atlantis. I do believe this is it. Thank you.
Just some friendly advice on your video quality: make sure your audio volume of your video effects are balanced with your voice audio... I had to turn the volume up and down several times during the video...
Real good video ! Incredible production ! Thanks ! You mention Google Earth, is it also accurate over water, seeing the bottom topography and what type of system is used to map the ocean floors ?
I am impressed by those map animations. I assume this is done in Google Earth Studio. Can I ask how you created those vector animations like arrows and rivers on top of the map?
Its basically common sense at this point. Its basically the same thing that happens to your sand castle when the tide rises and takes out your castle. Whats left is the rings of your castle. The next issue would be to take a team to the area where the debris field would be and excavate.
This is a great channel, has excellent summaries on paleo genetics and anthropogeny, I hope some of the gullible people that find this through the title learn something.
Perhaps the Nordic ice shelf stayed frozen well past the Younger Dryas just like Greenland still is today. Once it started to melt enough, the Scandinavian mountains "split" the ice sheet and forced much of it with nowhere to go but south. This flowed down into through the Volga and Dnipro rivers into the Black Sea, where the volume built up enough to ultimately breach into the Mediterranean causing the Great Flood.
Graham Hancock on the latest show with Russel Brand (prob on Rumble) talks in some detail about the comet debris that is theorized to have caused the last big flood - worth checking out as that is also a very likely culprit for making some big waves
Graham Hancock, jimmy corsetti and randall Carlson all have very interesting perspectives concerning this hypothesis. Randall - geography Hancock - ancient civilisation/megastructures & Jimmy - Atlantis & structure shown in vid
If historians, archaeologists and scientists suspect that Atlantis is right there, why does NONE of them want to dig all the way down and find the lost city? In the 21st century, the human race has advanced technology for such things. It is not a question of money, but of will.
Mauritania is a minefield, constant civil wars, dictatorships and ISIS affiliated raiders. Not a great place to go if you value your life, so scientists and archaeologists avoid it for now.
Hello Jimmy! I've been following your channel since I saw you on Joe Rogan, and I have to congrulate you on the methodical nature of your research. I always appreciate someone who thinks outside the box and is not afraid to question what most people perceive as unquestionable truth. We definitely need more people like you in the scientific community. @brightinsight That being said, have you done any research on the amount of force and time required for water erosion to be shown on these kinds of rock formations? Also, maybe you could look into the origins of cataclismic events: meteor impact, volcanic activity, and tectonic plate activity in the continent and surrounding areas.
Great video, I have been looking at the structure for some time via google earth. I have found many man made shapes and structures near the Richart structure. Is GeoNomad willing to take a look at them?
Send me your email address so I can send you snap shots of these shapes and structures. “I am not there either, I used google earth and found them, we can only guess on what they are”
it seems to me that the instability of the pole would create massive changes without volcanic action? This might explain some slides and "Atlantis" disappearances ....we may be entering a phase of pole shifting that will perhaps show us how this works....
11:17 I think this is a key distinction that corsetti only briefly touched on as “fluvial erosion”, should be elaborated more imo, side by side comparisons between waterborne sediment and wind deposits
As the two meteor craters near the Richat Structure are nearly circular in shape this means the strikes were near vertical velocity if they were tear drop shaped that means the strike came in at a shallower angle.
@@geoffhunter7704 all right my bad didn't know that. Still, since all round impacts on the moon and other places are not necessarily made from straight impactors you can't say for certain that a round impact comes from a 90° angled impactor
Was there really a possible Maghreb sea? That would really aid the theory of the Atlantis disaster flood coming from Libya/Tunisia, where you see a large area of continental Africa now under the sea. There is a mountain range just south too .. Possible route Libya/Tunisia and was diverted/funnelled by the mountains West.. where you show the "Maghreb Sea" which means its very low land.. and that leads directly to Mauritania and the Richat structure.
About the massive water flows in what is now Mauretania. would that be caused by the emptying of the "Maghreb sea"? and what could cause that? a tilt of the earth axis? and what would cause that?
This video isn't too bad actually. Everything seems plausible. If the Richat Structure region was flooded, it could possibly have come from a water body internal to Africa, or from rivers with origins in the Atlas mountains. I would warn not to try to connect that possible event to flooding in the Med. That just doesn't work with the high elevation of the ridge between the western African area and the Med. There was another similar video on this subject which proposed that event, but it proves incorrect without an impossibly massive rise in elevation having occurred during recent history. I'm glad you did not propose that as a possible theory. Likewise the same impossible great change in elevation would have to had occurred to connect this to Atlantis being at the Richat Structure, so it is obviously not possible that they could be one and the same, as Atlantis, if it existed at all, most certainly was a sea port. However given its present elevation, that kind of rise in the earth's surface is impossible to have occurred in such a short time period. You didn't exactly say that Richat and Atlantis are the same place, so that leaves some credibility to your other claims, which could easily be true and flooding of low lying areas is certainly not impossible, given that at that time the sea level was 130m lower than it is today. We will just have to consider that Atlantis connection as click bait and the rest is good.
All of the claims still need to be accurately verified. So I couldn't make a firm claim either. While studying human migration during the wet African period, I raised the possibility of a megaflood in the Sahara.
@@geonomad1 It's plausible for now. The region was once far wetter than it is today. There could have been large lakes there. As you say, we have to do some more studies. The area isn't the easiest to get to with the right equipment, so we will have to wait for some good core samples before going all out with any theory. The only thing I'm reasonably certain of was that no water crossed the ridge from the Med on its way to the Atlantic during any time in the last 4M years. The Richat Structure is now supposedly to have been from sheet erosion after uplift of sedimentary rock layers over a hot spot previously located underneath. Possibly the same that is near the Canary Islands now? Those islands are about 15M yrs old, so gun to head, it must have been 30 to 50M yrs ago.
@@bipl8989 The Richat structure was not made because of the Mega Flood. It is possible that water temporarily flowed around this structure during the AHP period.
@@geonomad1 West Africa was the region often known as “Atlantis” by ancient Greek writers. Long before the arrival of cattle and camel nomads, there were many rivers flowing through this region.
@@geonomad1 Except that a flood large enough to push miles and miles of land to the west of a city WOULD erase all trace of civilization, down to the bedrock, which is all thats left.
@@SuperJrKing I think the same about this. We looking at the wrong place for evidence. If flood big enough to swept away a civilization. Then it must be far from nearest coast line under the ocean. First we must calculate the direction & the speed of flowing water.
Excellent presentation reviewing scientific evidence of past geologic and climatologic events and their effect on mythology and folk lore.This information, and others like it, should be an integral part of core curriculum taught in our high schools and colleges.
Another theory I have: the Richat is the origin of the Atlantis myth, but the myth came from exploring Phoenicians, Berbers, Egyptians, or Europeans who came across the Richat at a time when it occasionally still flooded in temporary events, but there were no Atlanteans when the myth was fabricated. They merely saw the flooded Richat’s interesting structure and created a legend imagining a non-existing civilization living there in the past.
@Ike Dyson How do you square the size difference though? Plato gives a specific size for Atlantis, the Richat Structure dwarfs that by an order of magnitude, and that's not even taking into account how high above sea level it is.
@Ike Dyson First of all I want to thank you for having a well thought out and informative explanation that's all too rare these days. 1. I don't dispute the flooding part, heck just looking at Mauritania on Google Earth you can see the tell tale signs of flooding on vast scale. What I do dispute is the sea level difference. Nothing in the area proves such a dramatic and sudden rise in intervening 12k years. If you have evidence that proves your assertion I'd be more than happy to look at. 1a. The Richat is 45 km, not 28km 1b. I mis remembered the dimensions stated in Plato's Dialogs, he gave the size of the island, not the city itself. (240mi x 360mi) 2. I admit it is one heck of a coincidence that the Atlas Mountains and Atlantis's first King are both named Atlas. That's definitely something we should keep in mind. 2a. I've seen this Roman map talked about, (I think it was Jimmy's video) and while yes, it does label Atlantis there I just don't know the validity of it. And I don't want to jump to conclusions based on something that may or may not even be real. 3. Atlantis is described as a set of islands, so where is the other ones? 4. I agree that Hawass is an ass, with a chumped up sense of power due his political connections. 5. As to the other pyramids, I did not know about the underwater ones in the red sea, so I'll have to check that out. 6. Honestly I want there to be proof of Atlantis, I really do, but I need solid proof, not circumstantial. I do believe that there were ancient civilizations during the late ice age, but do to time what probable evidence survived the younger dryas is most like gone or been repurposed by subsequent cultures to be unrecognizable. Or at the bottom of the sea covered in thousands of years of silt.
for anyone curious, a youtuber called OZGeographics has found what looks like quite the large crater(s) in the Mediterranean itself, he has a couple video's on it
If viewers enjoyed this or got something from it please also check out jimmy at bright insight. He definitely deserves the 100% credit for doing due diligence and on the ground research at the richat structure. Also look at randall carlson and graham hancock for more illuminating perspectives.
Where are those waters gone?i mean todays we've seen water level were increased by the ice melt from climat changes heat..if it is great flood happen,the question still remain?evaporate through the space?
Speaking of what’s right I’m front of everyone’s eyes, look closely above the eye of the Sahara on the map. You’ll see the dead bodies of a giant dragon and a giant fish. Mudfossil university has been pointing this out, once you see them you will not be able to unsee them.
The erosion you see along the plateaus is coastal erosion. You can judge the age of the terrain by the color of the rocks. New sediment or disturbances are lighter in color.
Please note for the eye of Seria, please note the direction of the flow of water, and you can see that it came from Santorini. The flow of water directly comes from that direction. But the way for the theory that you mention would have to be this. The down fall for the Eye of Seria (Atlantis) was much closer to the ocean, and when the Black sea filled up the oceans leaves fell and through time Atlantis would have had to move it's city or die. And by the time Santorini blew it's top it was nothing but a shell.
Is it possible, that the Younger-Dryas event, wasn't caused by a meteor, but perhaps a global shift on the axis? Perhaps, the Antarctic landmass, wasn't under ice, until the Earth shifted on its axis and put that contenant at the south pole. Ancient maps, reveal the costs of Antarctica, as if they saw it before any ice was there. Massive floods would crisscross the Earth's surface, for which we see evidence of, even today. It is impossible, that the 2 meteorites mentioned here, could have created such widespread flooding, as seen by the sand flows to both the north and south of the Eye. Both meteorites mentioned, struck the Earth due North of the Eye, but the flood marks left are so fantastically larger. And they both struck land, they never even landed in the sea. The marks of the mega flood, surpass the craters of the meteorites, and the flood lows go past them as well, not from them.
It's a NATURAL formation that began 100 million years ago, when Africa and South America began splitting apart. A huge dome formed from underlying flat formations, when a hot spot formed in the mantle. Erosion of the dome formed the concentric circles that we see now. It's easy to understand after you take a few University level geology classes.
Absolutely fascinating, how did these groups all across the world who could have had absolutely no way of communicating during this period have the same myths and story
What if Plato called the river opening the Pillars Of Hercules by mistake, because at that time the opening might have looked similar? What if Plato made a mistake and meant the Pillars Of Hercules was west of Atlantis and not Atlantis was west of the POH? What if at that time the ocean was much much closer to the Richat Structure?
Just to correct you, they discovered the origin of the V88-derived allele in the Central-West Africa region. The researchers said that the previous thought was a migration from the north into a green Sahara then around lake Chad. However, after finding that the R1b1-V88 allele originated from central africa, they realized that the opposite was true, the migration started around central west africa from the south and went north. The ancestors surely got around.
I wonder if people back then were being told they've got to reduce their carbon footprint and pay a climate tax because of the rise in temperatures and the loss of ice and bodies of water
The impact craters shown, no matter how they align with the Richat Structure, could not have produce the cataclysmic flooding. The most obvious answer 'why,' is because looking at the remnants of water marks on the land, are moving in directions that are not 'from,' the creators, but perpendicular to them. Along with the 'chevrons,' there is a stream of sand, that goes from the East of Africa, passing the Richat Structure, and moving west, all the way to the Atlantic. The impact craters, are not even in that stream...
If Atlantis did exist where the eye of Shahara is located and because the elevation difference between the ocean to the west and the structure, was there another inlet to the North East, that could be traveled to reach the eye of the Shahara?
There has never been a flood big enough to flood the entire world, except when it was an ball of ice billions of years, no mammals. But with 3 later ice events, Came the floods that forced migration. These places were the fertile valleys we all evolved in. But most did have some Catastrophic flooding events. This was a large factor in forcing there migration.
20:00, scientist say it’s no an impact crater, rather something exploded on the ground, and they found the remains of a structure which resembles a pyramid at the center
