Richat Structure
- qurren 17d agoKinda wonder why ancient people didn't look at that and turn it into a massive amphitheatre or a mythical city.
- gatlin 17d agoSomething with a name reminiscent of the Atlantic Ocean.
- taaha47 17d agoQuoting from the wiki article ""The Richat Structure has been the subject of unsubstantiated fringe claims to be the site of Atlantis mentioned in the works of Plato.""
- qurren 17d agoI wouldn't believe that claim either if there is no archeological evidence, but I'm wondering why there isn't actually some civilization that walked by, said "this shit is cool", and built a city there. If I was an ancient pharoah I certainly would have ordered a city built there. Maybe with a nice pyramid in the middle instead of some burning man
- nephihaha 17d agoBecause barely one lived out there then and even fewer now.
- netllama 17d agoBecause from the ground it doesn't look like anything at all. I've been there, and without knowing where I was, I never would have guessed that I was inside the structure.
- complexifier 15d agoMaybe because it's in the middle of a desert.
