10 Reasons Why The Lost City Of Atlantis EXISTS In West Africa

10. Plato Describes It Perfectly

In his book, Critias, Plato’s description of the main city of Atlantis is quite specific.

He describes it as consisting of “alternate zones of sea and land, larger and smaller, encircling one another; there were two of land and three of water, which he turned as with a lathe, each having its circumference equidistant every way from the center”.

If one were to observe the Richat structure, they would find that it is formed of several concentric circles, specifically, three rings of water (if there were water flowing into it) and two rings of land. Maybe they didn’t have an equivalent of the word concentric in Plato’s time, or maybe he was just trying to reach the required word count for his publisher.
