ATLANTIS: The TRUTH about the Richat Hypothesis
This is part 2 in a series on the Richat hypothesis about Atlantis. For part 1, see here: https://youtu.be/BqhMGVLUSB0
One of the more popular theories about the true location of Atlantis is that it was in Mauretania at the site of the Richat Structure, known also as the Eye of the Sahara. In three videos on the subject, Youtuber Bright Insight presented the evidence from Plato and archaeology that the remains of Atlantis are to be found there. In this video, Dr. Miano examines Bright’s argument to see if it holds up to scrutiny.
