Bright Side’s Jimmy Corsetti says the Richat Structure, or The Eye of Africa, is most likely the location of the lost city of Atlantis. He says new evidence has surfaced, making so compelling a case that the confirmation is definite. Tune in as Corsetti connects the dots.
From towns hidden under a hill to the possible site of the legendary Atlantis, Origins Explained examines eight mysterious lost cities that have recently been uncovered.
Among the archaeological gems is a small community in Antarctica, known as Little America. In October 1933, the first American post office in Antarctica was established at a base camp on the Ross Ice Shelf. Established in 1928 by U.S. naval officer Richard E. Byrd, the settlement even had its own newspaper.
But perhaps the most interesting site in this video is Akrotiri, located on the Greek island of Santorini. The port city was an important urban and trade center, boasted a sophisticated drainage system, elaborate architecture and even housed some of the world’s first indoor bathrooms. Because Akrotiri was so highly advanced, some scholars theorize it represents the lost city of Atlantis, mentioned in Plato’s writings. The city was eventually buried by the second-largest volcanic eruption in human history.

According to the Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was a city of immense wealth, being rich in natural minerals and lush vegetation. Atlanteans were said to have built fantastic temples, displayed beautiful architecture, and created magnificent statues to the gods. More from Robert Sepehr, anthropologist and author.

Great flood tales appear in many different Greek and Roman documents, such as Hesiod’s The Theogony from the 8th century BC, Plato’s Timeaus from the 5th century BC, Aristotle’s Meteorology from 4th century BC, and many others. Many scholars believe that the various versions were all of a single ancient flood, similar to the Biblical story of Noah, that affected the Mediterranean region in ancient times.

The Hopi Indians maintained that their ancestors did not arrive over a land bridge from Asia, nor do they believe that they arrived by boat, but instead their origin myths tell the story of how they climbed onto the surface from the underworld. The specific place of emergence of Hopi legend lies deep inside the Grand Canyon, an enchanted opening from the mysterious recesses of the earth, after a Great Deluge had destroyed the third world.

Here is a second exploration of Atlantis by Robert Sepehr. According to the Greek philosopher Plato, it was a city of immense wealth, being rich in natural minerals and lush vegetation. Atlanteans were said to have built fantastic temples, displayed beautiful architecture, and created magnificent statues to the gods. Here, Sepehr focuses on Atlantis and its possible connection to fallen angels and archaic DNA.

Over 2,000 years ago, a wise Egyptian priest named Sonchis told a respected Greek statesman, Solon, about a spectacular legend recorded on stone, translated to Greek from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, about powerful sea-faring empires, massive global cataclysms, and a great war of the Titans.
Atlantis was the island said to have existed in the Atlantic Ocean, probably located near the present-day Azores Islands, mentioned in Plato’s works Timaeus and Critias, a story in which Athens repels the Atlantean invasion of the Mediterranean, Europe, and North Africa.

Not only did the lost city of Atlantis actually exist, but its true location has been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years, completely unnoticed, as we’ve been looking in all the wrong places…Since everyone assumes that it must be under the ocean somewhere, such as in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea, which have long been considered to be the most likely places for its existence.
And no, I am not about to suggest that Antarctica is the hidden location of Atlantis, either. Because in this video, I am going to connect the dots on the exact words that Plato used to describe Atlantis, its location, and the geographical land features that surround it, which were recorded in Plato’s dialogues, the Critias and Timaeus.
And the details that Plato shared of Atlantis, which I’m about to share with you in side by side comparison, will show you that the Richat Structure located in Mauritania, Africa, also commonly referred to as the Eye of the Sahara, or the Eye of Africa…is the most likely location for the lost city of Atlantis.
