CAPE TOWN – Mat Sahara also known as the Richat Structure, is a stunning geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, Mauritania, Northwest Africa
As reported by Science Alert, NASA described the 50 km long formation, located in Mauritania, as a “conspicuous target in an otherwise featureless expanse of desert”.
The space agency stated that the structure has been a useful landmark for astronauts since the earliest space missions thanks to its striking visibility from the cosmos.
A number of theories have been put forward over the years to explain the anomalous appearance, including that it is actually the remains of the lost city of Atlantis.
Proponents of this strange hypothesis argue that its structure is very similar to Plato’s description of the legendary city.
However, we must emphasize that these claims are simply conspiracy fodder, and there is no evidence that Atlantis ever existed outside the confines of Greek philosophy.
A more plausible explanation is that the Eye of the Sahara is a huge impact crater, left by a meteorite or asteroid in the early years of our planet’s formation. However, this has also been denied by experts.
Instead, the broader consensus is that richat (or risart – which means “feather” in the local dialect) formed when volcanic domes hardened and then eroded over time, exposing layers of onion-like rock.
