What you are looking at is a massive circular feature within Mauritania. It is a truly beautiful geologic oddity largely only visible from satellite. Known as the "Eye of the Sahara", it is a spectacular 45 kilometer or 28 mile wide feature which contrasts with the overall coloration of the surrounding landscape. It formed approximately 100 million years ago due to a series of geologic events. This video will discuss this spectacular feature and describe how it formed.

Wow, what a coincidence! I am in Western Sahara at the moment. I've been watching your videos for years and you publish one about this famous structure when I am not so far from it. As I was travelling down from Agadir, you really get a feeling for the vast amount of magma that came up during the CAMP event about 201 million years ago. (Central Atlantic Magmatic Province). Where The High Atlas mountains meet the ocean is very dramatic. The WAC (West Africa Craton) is so huge as I look south from Western Sahara, which is administered by Morocco. Sadly, there is an ongoing civil war in this area. Thank you for explaining the process of formation so clearly.

I am glad that you enjoyed today’s episode. Fairly barren desert landscapes hold a special place in my heart as those are where I started as a geologist. Also, with a lack of dense vegetation rock units are quite easily exposed. I’m curious if you’ve ever found any fossils (not in the flood basalts) or interesting looking/colorful rocks there. Flood basalt remnants are always fun to view. Thanks for your comment :)

The ring shaped lake at 0.34 is Lake Manicouagan. At more than 140 cubic kms of water, almost 115 million acre feet, it is the continents largest reservoir. It is known as the Eye of Quebec. The space age actually predates it. The Daniel Johnson dam was built in the sixties, man had actually landed on the moon before the lake had filled enough to assume its iconic shape. I have often wondered if it was recognized that the area was a crater before the dam was built.

@brandonholt6717 Месяц назад

There are a lot of cool features in the US that were formed by similar processes. These things can seem so mysterious until you understand how it works. The geologist Myron cook on RU-vid has a few videos on several strange formations that were formed almost exactly the same way.

Just because it is a naturally formed geologic feature, that does not mean that it isn't the site of Atlantis. There is evidence of ancient human habitation at the site. Extensive archeological research and excavation would have to be done to prove that there was, or wasn't, a major civilization residing on the Richat Structure in ancient times.

@omegastar19 Месяц назад

⁠@@GarfieldofBorg’evidence of ancient human habitation’ doesn’t mean anything, there’s a million places on earth that fit that description. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of an ancient civilisation having existed in this area. And since you are the one making the claim about Atlantis, the burden of proof is on you. The default position is that Atlantis never existed, it is up to you to provide proof indicating otherwise.

@xdfit5413 Месяц назад

I don’t think so, 😮I’m Mauritanian and richat means feathers and since we were nomads we used to give name to mountains and valleys… to guide us through the desert And all mountains have the same name that the locals used like kediet ejill which also mean the “mountain of leather” so I don’t think it was called after someone!

@jenbanim Месяц назад

Wikipedia does not say that, I think you misread >The Richat Structure, or Guelb er Richât (Arabic: قلب الريشات Qalb ar-Rīšāt), is a prominent circular geological feature in the Adrar Plateau of the Sahara. It is located near Ouadane in the Adrar Region of Mauritania. In the local dialect, rīšāt means feathers and it is also known locally in Arabic as tagense, referring to the circular opening of the leather pouch that is used to draw water from local wells. >The structure was first described in the 1930s to 1940s, as Richât Crater or Richât buttonhole (boutonnière du Richât). Richard-Molard (1948) considered it to be the result of a laccolithic uplift.

@gabriellespanke Месяц назад

I prefer the theory that the builders of Atlantis took advantage of an existing geological feature rather than digging up three enormous concentric harbors from level ground. It might not be this area, though they have shown that the sea level would have been high enough that a small canal would have flooded the rings. This area, and the rest of the North part of the African continent, still shows signs of an immense flood that then receded. I never understood the story about Atlantis sinking to the bottom of the ocean like it was built on a shelve of land that sunk. I'm sure that's possible but the ruins would still be closer to the modern shore than the middle of the ocean.

From what I can tell it's just called Pontarddulais Mountain, but all the info I can find is just about walks in the area.

@@chesterfieldthe3rd929those mountains were named the atlas mountains as this area, and all of north Africa, at one point were colonies of Atlantis. The Caucasian people that once inhabited these areas, all had higher concentrations of the rhesus negative trait which is an indicator of Atlantean and later, The Aryan colonist ancestry. This most definitely isn't the exact point on the map that Atlantis was as that map you are referring to was denoting Atlantean colony areas. There are flat seamounts where Plato describes Atlantis, that were named Atlantis seamount. They are located just south of the azores plateau and drill core samples showed them to have been above water 12000 years ago. Cro magnon man was the Inhabitant of Atlantis and introduced many first to the Mediterranean colonies and carried a weapon with a specific nane, The AtlAtl. Coincidentally we also find these letters in use across the ATLantic with the Maya who called the word deluge Atl and was also the name of their third month. While I enjoy hearing new ideas and theories, this one is not grounded in truth because Plato describes it as just beyond the pillars of Heracles in the true ocean which leaves a structure that is not only thousands of feet in elevation and a thousand miles from the Atlantic ocean, completely ruled out. Even if it were at that time much more lower in elevation as to be at sea level then it would've been accessible by the Mediterranean also and thus Plato would have no need to mention "Beyond the pillars of Heracles" This structure is not 99% but 100% not the true Location of Atlantis.
