This has been addressed many times before, here me out: The true size was certainly lost in translation, and moreover, the ‘described size’ is arguably far too small. 1) Atlantis is a ~12,000yr old story, passed down by probably at least a dozen languages before it even got to... Plato. Measurements would easily be lost over a 11 millennia, and likely long before it ever got to Sonchis of Sais in Egypt. 2) The ‘described size’ given by Plato would consist largely of water (not inhabitable for homes/buildings) - Yet, Atlantis was described as being “busy all day and all night, with languages spoken from all over” - that’s a city consisting of millions of people. Ain’t no way the significantly smaller described size would fit that many people, not even close. 3) The Richat Structure is virtually the same exact size of modern day Paris and Cairo’s metropolitan areas. 4) Plato stated he would have to “endeavor to describe the nature and arrangement of the rest of the land” - essentially acknowledging that he did not have all the correct details, or failed to successfully decipher Solon’s passed down words. 5) The Richat Structure matches a dozen and a half of the most striking and consequential similarities to what Plato described, and this far outweighs the arguments against it. The Eye of the Sahara is by far the most likely location for the lost capital city of Atlantis 🌀🌍🔱show more

Where are you getting the idea that the story of Atlantis existed in multiple languages before Plato? Bad methodology. We can’t make arguments from speculation based on speculation based on things we have no evidence for. You can just make up any theory you want and fill in the blanks with speculation this way.

Lol, it’s called Anthropology 101 taught in University. Languages change approximately 20% every ~1,000yrs Thats equivalent to the difference between French and English today - massive. Modern English is only 500yrs old, and is virtually indecipherable from Old English, which is just 1,500yrs old! To ignore the fact that language is constantly changing, and that this story is a whopping 11,600yrs old, is unscientific reasoning in itself.

So you just assumed that this story was passed down by different generations of people (who we have no evidence of writing from) and they lost the REAL location in this hypothetical game of telephone that we have no evidence for and this is where the evidence of your location is, despite the Richat Structure having no archaeological evidence of any civilization being there. Ok

Assumed? Lol are you serious? Approx 400 generations pass over 10,000yrs. Do you understand? And it was clearly bulldozed by a catastrophic force of water. What are you expecting to find? I’ve already repeatedly addressed those rebuttals this in detail.

Minoans were destroyed by a flood overnight and we can find hundreds of thousands of artifacts and data that tells us quite a bit about who was there. There’s 0 data for a civilization being in Richat. Zilch. Let alone “advanced”.

“0 data for a civilization being in Richat” So you haven’t even researched this. Bro don’t waste peoples time just because you feel like arguing online.

What’s the data then?

5,000-8,000yr structures have been found in the Richat. Sarah Parcak shared this on network tv in 2022

The "it's in the middle of a desert" argument only works if you pretend the climate has always been what it is today.

Ancient Mega River Tamanrasset river a massive prehistoric waterway that flowed across the Sahara from the Hagar and Atlas Mountains into the Atlantic Ocean . Peak activity roughly 14,500 to 5,000 years ago.flowed straight from eye of Sahara.Richat Structure fits the bill.

Yes, a highly important detail!

But I think that the only way to find any definitive archaeological evidence for the existence of Atlantis isn't to excavate the Richat Structure (even though it should be excavated, too), but to excavate the ocean floor off the coasts of Africa that are closest to the Structure.

This 💯, specifically within the layered seafloor sediment within the ‘Mauritanian Seafloor Slide’, which was (inexplicably) created in the same realm of time that Atlantis was said to be destroyed!

I still want to see them excavate and do the underground imaging (LiDAR? I don’t remember what all that newfangled technology is called…). Are there any updates to those possibilities? Keep it up, jimmy. You rock.

I think this is a good point that size isn’t a huge contributing factor to whether it was home to a vast civilisation. Things do get lost in translation, I would say though that given the ancients fascination with geometry (Earth-measure) it’s als likely that whilst the numbers may be off, it’s likely the units that tell the full picture. In the same way the Orion constellation is mapped to Giza, but critics say it’s reversed so it’s not the same, I would also reasonably suggest that scaling factors are within human error to lose this in translation. It does match the shape, it does match the location (if the Western Sahara was mostly part of the Atlantis ocean). Also other debunks that it’s natural doesn’t know what they’re talking about. I say this knowing that there are other potential locations of Atlantis, people just need to approach this more holistically.

It’s weird when people take testimonials and fully believe half of it and fully discount the other half when it doesn’t fit their narrative.

Or maybe lost in translation is a real thing, and using discernment combined with modern research can establish fact from fiction. If you want to dismiss the dozen and a half striking similarities, that’s your prerogative

And what about the dozen and a half striking dissimilarities. Just throw those out then?

Located 100 km due East of the center of the Eye.

Richat is a scar from an ancient Birkeland Current that struck the Earth a long time ago. This Atlantis stuff is ridiculous.

People fighting this theory seem to confuse the continent of Atlantis - which is NOT the Richat - with the capital city -which Richat seems to be a perfect candidate. It almost feels like it's a deliberate obfuscation.

I think this place would have only been one part of Atlantis. Perhaps the old World itself was considered Atlantis it's leader being Thoth the Atlantian

the only way to verify this claim would be to thoroughly search and excavate the ocean floor west of the structure.

@FunnyOldeWorld on YT just did a video a day ago, describing essentially "African" Atlantis and literally brought up the to Chotts Megalake/Pillars of Heracles aspect that I emailed you about years ago and have replied to you here multiple times.

I feel like the Atlas Mountains right there have to indicate something

@BrightInsight6 hear me out. Our “real” is Atlantis

Jimmy...

The whole site was sandblasted by water and sand erosion and then land-locked. Can we even predict the original surface out of the eroded landscape that remains? People contest it by examining the radius of the outer rings, but there is no necessity to count the outer rings as part of the city proper. It's quite possible that many of the city proper rings were eroded. If we look back over the story, each brother ruled a section of the city proper territory. Distant rings would be outer districts, not the city proper.

Jimmy, do you think Atlantis may be antediluvian?

Plus the clear signs water erosion that can be seen from space. That level of scouring could only be caused by a colossal, continent spanning tsunami. That's the only way that Atlantis could completely disappear beneath the waves so quickly within an approximately 24 hour period.

I 100% agree with you about the Richat Structure being the likely site for the lost city Atlantis. I mean it can be seen from space, and its geography and geology is so unique. I haven't seen anything else like anywhere in the world. It's a near 100% match to Plato's description.

I agree. The size is the last detail to get caught up on. Unless the richats the size of a small town. a 12,000 year old telephone line story will not have every detail 100% reliable. Jimmy made a great find on the Greek translation of the word island.

Well Jay Anderson is a material stealing clown, so it wouldn't surprise me if he is talking completely out of his ass. Idk why people give that guy an ounce of credibility.

Oh Jimmy, Jimmy, you Americans are never anything but children, and there is not an old man among you. In mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age. I disagree on this one Jimmy lad. Am working on my speech impediment, trying hard to make a video. Am embarrassed a bit how I sound, If I found Atlantis how could I ever tell you man. What would it take to get you to believe, just wondering. Its hard am a little account. Am disabled and your so big and untouchable and a pro. I would send you a video, and if you say WTAF you have to call me king of Atlantis forever when I post. I will address you as whatever you want if you dont say the words WTAF. I am working on Posideon temple that is quote "barbaric in its appearance" Or an unseen Megalithic alignment thats awesome and I got it on film on the winter solstice sun rise sun set. Obviously the Internet was made for this. I dont want your likes people, wanna spake with someone that is up on Atlantis. Id send it you dude.

Jimmy Christian Eucharist has Latin hymns sung every week by a choir and the Catholic world, especially for Mass and music. The Vatican City is the only place where Latin’s still officially the language—documents, coins, even an ATM with Latin instructions. Vatican City: Official language. Priests, cardinals, scholars use it daily for docs, speeches, even banter. Pope Francis reads/writes it fluently. They hold Latin-only meetings sometimes. • Choirs & Mass: Thousands sing Gregorian chants, hymns like “Pange Lingua” or “Salve Regina” at Eucharist—Latin Mass still happens (Tridentine rite) in the US, UK, Poland, France. Choristers learn pronunciation, grammar basics—enough to belt it out. Not fluent convo, but they “speak” it in performance. • Academics & enthusiasts: Latin clubs (like the Paideia Institute), summer intensives, online groups—people chat in it. There’s even a podcast or two where folks argue philosophy in Latin. Latin’s Not dead—just retired from street talk. Have a listen 👂 to the Latin hymns - this is the Minster (Catherdral) I go to and I help do the live-streaming and serve at Sunday

Finally! Been saying this for years.

Hmmm Atlantis is a lot like Dubai today, a hub with many languages.

Thanks for your point of view Jimmy! Much respect!

Atlantis had metals, mines, elephants, horses, plains, mountains and was a larger than Africa and not in Africa. Where was the Americas during Atlantis?

The Location Relative to the Pillars of Heracles is the only part of Plato's description that doesnt align in my opinion. Plato specifies Atlantis as an island "in front of the straits which you call the Pillars of Heracles" (Timaeus 24e), positioning it in the Atlantic Ocean beyond Gibraltar as a naval power threatening the Mediterranean. "In front" typically means westward, facing the open ocean, not inland to the southeast. The Richat Structure is in Mauritania, about 1,600 km (roughly 1,000 miles) southeast of the Strait of Gibraltar. If you discount this as misinterpreted or just Inaccurate then I belive every other fact about the description of Atlantis and the Richat structure align.

No it is not! There is proof there of continues stoneage people living there until everything around it evolved! There is not a single piece of pottery found of that so called advanced civilisation! Richat was not Atlantis, Atlantis was made up to show the power of the Gods!

I had an interesting chat with grok earlier today combining some theories that may explain what happened to Atlantis…

No Atlantean artifacts have been found at the Richat structure. The Richat structure was only partially inundated by flooding - a far cry from descriptions of sinking into the sea.

Atlantis is the azores as the templars believe. Portugal was established by the templars and owns the azores.
