Is Richat the ruins of Atlantis

No, because of post-glacial rebound, which even Randall Carlson, celebrity of the catastrophe crowd, says.

Like a couch cushion, when you sit on it, the edges rise around your butt? The glaciers pressing down on the northern hemisphere would have caused the southern to rise up.

It's already far above sea level (which was 120m lower back then) - meaning with the glacial thrust, when "Atlantis" was around (you know, by the ocean?), this site would have been EVEN higher in the air, above a further away shore line.

When you bring this up to jimmy of blight insight he tells you "he doesn't care, he just wants money from clicks" and blocks you.

100% cool site.

100% not "atlantis"

(maybe an outpost?)

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"
