00:00Did you know that there is a place in the Mauritanian Sahara that could reveal us where Atlantis has disappeared?
00:04This site is the structure of Richa, also called the Eye of Africa.
00:07Several theorists suggest that this geological structure would be Atlantis,
00:10described by Plato with its concentric rings of land and water.
00:13He also mentioned an opening to the sea to the south,
00:15and if we observe the satellite images, we can clearly see the traces of old watercourses.
00:18It is often forgotten that the Sahara was green 5,000 years ago,
00:21it had a more humid climate and important river networks.
00:23Plato mentioned mountains north of Atlantis, which could correspond to the current Atlas chain.
00:27However, it should be noted that their speculations are largely contradicted by the current geological and archaeological data and are pseudo-scientific.
00:33For a long time considered a scientific enigma,
00:35the structure is now recognized as the remains of a giant volcano 100 million years old,
00:39collapsed after a differential erosion.
