it's the richat structure in mauritania.

matching plato's measurements from the library at alexandria and having a literal fresh water spring in the middle of the fucking desert sold me.

if you like that, search "green sahara" too, that also a fascinating topic.

I agree with this.

I would have loved to have seen it...and all the White people who built it.

Bright insight does a good job selling the richat structure as Atlantis. That being said his whole argument revolves around "looks like". Looks like isn't a really solid metric to make claims on. Then he covers up the total lack of real evidence, by blaming the powers that be. Academia and governments are a good scapegoat for sure, but unfortunately it doesn't even remotely come close proving anything.

If there was an advanced civilization in that part of Africa, there would be a lot of evidence. The only thing they talk about finding there is salt, which is interesting but it only reinforces the "looks like" argument for that being Atlantis.

There is a better argument that some rich Mediterranean island with plumbing and advanced architecture that was built on an active volcano is what plato was talking about.

Mud flood, the evidence is buried, nobody has dug as much as a shovel full of dirt in that area

If the rings aren't buried in mud, then there would be evidence on top of the rings, that's where the city was supposedly at, on top of the rings with water in the middle right? It's shame no one's looked. Seems like if a huge ancient civilization was there, it would be pretty easy to find evidence of.

He's done some pretty good follow up videos finding old maps and other references to it as well.

He also says that no-one has dug into it because dogs cost money and Mauritania is full of niggers so people that try to dig there will likely be killed or have their shit stolen or both.

Also he was talking about measurements and how they are pretty spot on as well, not just based off "looks like"

i'm pretty sure it's in that documentary i linked.

edit: i'm mistaken, it's a well, not a true spring:

18:23 to 18:40 most of the wells in the area are salt water; would have to dig 200m to hit the fresh water table 24:58 to 25:20 locals dug a well (apparently by hand) and hit fresh water on the center "island" of the richat

It existed but it's gone now. I bet they find it in the next 100 years somewhere a few hundred miles from Portugal. I am trying to remember but someone was on Art Bell back in the 90s and said the Azores were what's left of Atlantis.

As the legends go it supposedly sunk into the ocean. The only reasonable ideas I can think of this happening are a catastrophic seismic event enough to swallow a coastal/island city. Or a direct meteor impact on an island city that cratered the island beneath the seas. I imagine the later would create an extinction level event though.

Edit: That or it was just some conquered city and a historic game of telephone resulted in the lore being that it sank into the ocean.

Troy was a mythological city until it was found. Randall Carlson and Jimmy Corsetti have the most compelling but different theories I've heard. Check em out on youtube

Atlantis existed. It was from the preflood world. Some believe Noah came from Atlantis.

Edgar cayse claimed it would begin rising from the ocean floor. My personal belief is that all of our current tech is merely recreations of tech found from older civilizations. Possibly fallen Angel tech. We went from thousands of years of horse and buggy to flight and computers in less than 100 years.
