„Ochiul Saharei”, craterul misterios din deșert, se vede din spațiu. Ce e de fapt „Structura Richat”: Mulți o asociază cu Atlantida

The Richat Structure, located in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania, is a remarkable geological formation resembling a giant eye or target from above. Spanning approximately 40 kilometers in diameter, it has been misidentified as a meteorite impact crater, but is now understood to be a complex geological structure shaped by magmatic processes and erosion. The formation has attracted attention from astronauts since the early days of space exploration, with NASA capturing images from various missions. Recent studies reveal its intricate geological history, involving multiple stages of magmatic activity over millions of years. The concentric rings are a result of varying rock resistance to erosion, shaped by wind and water over time. Despite its circular appearance, it is not a crater, and theories linking it to Atlantis remain speculative.
