A detailed post shared on social media Monday explained why the lost city — or probable civilization of Atlantis — was likely located at the Eye of Sahara. We spoke with the author of said post — Jimmy Corsetti, also known as Bright Insight — about his detailed research into this location, and what may have caused the total destruction of what was once one of the world’s most significant civilizations. Plato’s Socratic Dialogues On Atlantis Location The original story of Atlantis comes from the great Greek philosopher Plato, and two Socratic dialogues Timaeus and Critias, written in the year 360 B.C., according to ThoughtCo. Socrates apparently asked three men (Timaeus, Hermocrates, and Critias) to describe ancient Athens’ relationships with other states. Critias reported that his grandfather once met with the poet and lawgiver Solon, who’d visited Egypt and heard stores of Atlantis. When Plato transcribed these stories, he told them as more of a story than an exact historical series of events. What we need to pull from this description are key geographical features associated with Atlantis — both human and physical. Human & Physical Geographies of Atlantis Atlantis was arranged in concentric circles, alternating between water and land. The area around Atlantis was fertile thanks to the physical geographies in proximity to the Atlantic Ocean (it should also be noted that the Atlantic Ocean was named from ancient Greek mythology). The human geographies, or manipulation by man of the landscape to build canal and irrigation systems, allowed Atlantis to thrive.

Eye of Sahara: The Richat Structure In the Adrar region of Mauritania lies the Richat Structure, known colloquially as the Eye of Sahara. The circular formations of the structure, proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and Atlas mountains, and scars that appear to suggest a huge flood swept through the region, all point toward this being the true location of Atlantis. The post shared by Corsetti on social media goes into significant detail on why this is the most likely location. The most obvious is the concentric circles, “specifically [three] rings of water, [two] rings of land” with an “opening to the sea at the south.” The landscape is made up of red, white, and black stones, and is “surrounded by a large flat rectangular plain.” The mountains to the north, called the Atlas mountains, were said to “be named for Atlas, the first King of Atlantis.” The first king of Mauritania was also called Atlas.

Pomponeus Mela was the Romans first Geographer. A 2,000yr map annotates ‘Atlantea’ (translates Latin to ‘Atlas’ in same location of Richat! Abundance of GOLD Existence of Elephants! Evidence of catastrophic flooding Salt in the Richat, suggests sea water settled and later evaporated there Fossils of Aquatic life within the Richat dated to same time as Atlantis! Mauritanian ‘seafloor slide’ consisting of 1.5miles of layered sediment directly in front of Richat in the Atlantic Ocean. AND, dated to same approximate time of Atlantis! Atlantis was not an island. The Ancient Greek word used for island (Nesos/Nesson) had 5 total meanings, 4 of which that didn’t mean Island! One of the meanings was “land within a continent surrounded by lakes and rivers” – which matches the Richat at the time of ATLANTIS What About The Naysayers If you dwell on X long enough, you’ll find a whole bunch of people who deny that the Richat Structure is the location of Atlantis. But there is one strange thing that all of these people have in common: they don’t like how successful Corsetti has been in his pursuits, and they probably feel embarrassed that he identified the location before them. Trust me: I’ve met and spoken to most of these people, and they are some of the worst you’ll find in the field of celebrity so-called science (I mean, to a heinous degree). While I don’t want to give any of these people a platform, I was highly disappointed to see Corsetti’s hard work be totally ignored because he clearly broke a few egos. Why Is Atlantis Important To Understanding A Potential Future Apocalypse Understanding that Atlantis was likely a real place is just the starting point. We already know of countless ancient civilizations that mysteriously disappeared off the face of the Earth, all around the same time, some 11,000 to 12,000(ish) years ago. This date coincides with the Younger Dryas. We asked Corsetti what he thought destroyed Atlantis, and he said, “a continental flood of the ocean!” (RELATED: ‘THE DISASTER CYCLE’ Trailer Will Make Your Blood Run Cold; What Do The Elites Know About What Happens Next?) “I’m not sure what caused [the flood], but this arguably happened at the same time as Atlantis’ destruction and the same  time of the mysterious Younger Dryas climate catastrophe.” TMM Analysis Of Atlantis Location Big Archaeology doesn’t seem particularly interested in researching the Richat…
