i said possible
the area around the eye has features that are extremely similar to ocean/sea coast erosion, the ancient story has the rings. the distance for the rings is about right, the story has salt water around the site with a fresh water spring/well in the center.- the eye HAS a fresh water spring/well in the center while the surrounding area's groundwater is salt. there is an opening towards the south- the story says the same.. .etc it is eerily similar but being similar does not make it true.
is it? who knows - until we find something that proves the location of "Atlantis" then it is all speculation and theory.
what if there was a shallow ocean in that sahara area a long time ago, what if the city was there, what if an earthquake ruptured the "bowl" of said ocean, creating an outlet for the water to drain out and creating the desert it is now etc etc..
look at lakes erie & ontario - erie is about elevation 570, ontario about level 260 if a magnitude 7 earthquake hit that area, erie could get significantly smaller...- potentially being eliminated if the crevasses formed and the landscape alteration was significant enough. which would FUCK all the cities along the river in the st lawerence river basin - there have been several cat 5 earthquakes in that area (200 miles surrounding buffalo) in the past, so it is possible,
