Height above sea level only begins to count once you're over a few miles ASL. The ocean 'slosh' part of the catastrophe cycle sweeps across most land masses, with only a few of the higher elevations remaining above the waves. So the theory goes.

Yes waves can and probably did sweep over Richat, not saying that didnt happen - I'm simply pointing out why it wasn't close to the ocean (then or now) to fulfill the descriptions of Atlantis.

I said it might have been an outpost or even another city - but not the "city of the sea"

Of course, now I can't find the video I watched some years ago - where a reseacher showed a very large hill/mountain, right on the coast of western Africa (directly west of Richat) - with ruins buried in it and a (modern) city atop and around it. I can't find it now but if I ever do I'll let you know.

I did find this video from a channel I enjoy, which presents its own findings regarding Richat.
