The “Richat Structure” is a massive 40-kilometre (in diameter) geological structure of concentric rings located in Mauritania, Northwest Africa. It has been proposed to be a candidate location of the alleged ancient city of Atlantis.

The Richat Structure is also referred to as “The Eye of Africa”, “The Eye of Mauritania”, or “The Eye of the Sahara”.

The city of Atlantis was described in Plato’s writings many years ago. Shockingly, The Richat Structure and its associated properties correlate with several of Plato’s descriptions. For example, Plato’s description of the size and alternating concentric circles of Atlantis appear to match up almost exactly with actual measurements of The Richat Structure (when proper conversions are used).

Other details lend credence to the idea that The Richat Structure was once a place capable of providing resources for human habitation. Although located in the Sahara, the region was once lush with vegetation with freshwater rivers running through the area around 9000 BP. Additionally, fossils of freshwater organisms have been discovered at The Richat Structure.

Herein, we discuss the most up-to-date information about The Richat Structure and how it may be the location of an ancient human civilization, possibly the mythical lost city of Atlantis. This one was interesting to research and changed a lot of our perspectives.
