The Rishat Structure: The Eye of the Sahara

Overview

• Located in the remote Western Sahara Desert.
• Also known as the Eye of the Sahara or Eye of Africa.
• Notable for its symmetrical shape and color.
• Generates curiosity about its existence and history.

Similarities to Atlantis

• Previous videos highlighted remarkable similarities between the Rishat Structure and Atlantis.
• This has led to debates about whether Atlantis existed and if it's hidden in the Sahara.
• Many view Atlantis through a modern lens (Disney movies, resorts) but its origins trace back to ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egyptian Accounts

• Egyptians noted survivors of Atlantis, a sophisticated civilization existing around 12,000 years ago.
• They migrated to the Nile Delta after a cataclysm destroyed their island.

CIA Interest

• CIA conducted secret missions to study geomagnetic anomalies in 1967, including the Rishat Structure.
• Declassified documents exist, but findings remain largely classified.
• The stated purpose was to identify geomagnetic anomalies to understand Earth's protective geomagnetic field.

Key Similarities to Atlantis

• Geographic Features:

  • Rishat has features matching descriptions: three rings of water, two of land.
  • Open to the sea at the south.
  • Mountains to the north with signs of ancient water flow.

• Materials and Ecology:

  • Consists of black, red, and white stones.
  • Elephants lived in the region (cave art exists) and lush vegetation was noted in the past.
  • Evidence of iron, copper, and gold, which are also Mauritania's main exports.

Geological Evidence

• The Sahara was not always a desert; it was a lush region with freshwater lakes.
• The current salt deposits suggest the area was once submerged under the ocean.
• Water erosion features are similar to those found in other regions acknowledged for catastrophic flooding.

Historical Dates and Events

• 11,600 years ago significant events occurred (Younger Dryas climate catastrophe) that align with the timeline of Atlantis's destruction.
• Coincides with the timeline of cataclysmic events described in other historical accounts.

Counterarguments

• Critics argue Rishat is too high above sea level and lacks artifacts.
• Geological shifts due to volcanic activity could explain the region's elevation changes and disappearance of structures.
• The word "island" in ancient Greek had multiple meanings and could describe land formations such as the Rishat.

Conclusion

• The Rishat Structure presents compelling evidence and parallels to the legend of Atlantis, but interpretations vary.
• Further research and open discussions are encouraged; potential archaeological findings remain a mystery.
• The presenter plans future explorations and discussions on related topics.

Additional Information

• Upcoming trips to Peru and Egypt are mentioned for those interested in ancient history.
• Encouragement for audience engagement through comments and discussions.
