Good vid, well put together, in the level of myth there is much in agreement,however If there is anything like an Atlantis in that area I say go look at the Sonniki or Mande people first, they appeared to be the ones on cave paintings. Agreed. But all in all this just a theory but an interesting one.

No wonder nobody takes African history seriously. Why try and learn what Eye of Sahara really is. Better to vouchsafe fantasies than to investigate prehistoric Mauritania. Sure, a dome (natural geological formation) far inland, in a desert no less, can be the remains of an Atlantic Ocean island. How does this suppose to fit in the history and ethnography of Africa when it denies the results of African Studies prehistory linguistics and geology. Motherfox Aterians, African Arid Period, African Humid Period, and Saharo-Sudanese in relation to central Mauritania. What am I missing that everybody else seems to see its worth developing as clear as crystal, since this is the History folder? Now, now, no criticism, deconstruction, or contrary evidence to be allowed and considered. Atlantis is real and in central Mauritania and that's it! A wise African Elder told me it was passed down to him that unicorns are zebra-rhino hybrids. They're not around anymore because rhinos who wouldn't tolerate cross species relationships systematically murdered them off. I could tell you what the Elder told me about satyrs but you wouldn't believe me. You're taking this more serious than is. And can you please stop derailing this discussion?

Go tell your kids what to do. Don't wanna hear what I have to say? Then don't read it.
Continuing with the con of pro and con discussion.
Eye of Sahara is only noticeable from outer space.
You'd need GPS coordinates to even hope of finding it walking around the desert.
Evolution is a theory. Quantum physics is a theory.
Eye of Sahara as Atlantis is pure hypothetical speculation.
If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step — known as a theory — in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.
Ouadane nearby the Eye is a real place. Should we neglect this piece of African history in the history folder?
For me, everything is an opportunity to each-one-teach-one learn about African history.

Troy was allegedly 'discovered' by Heinrich Schliemann by the 'method' used on this forum! What our enthusiasts fail to mention is the fact that what was found was Troy-ish not Troy. Maybe the same will be true for this bit of wild speculation. Instead of Atlantis, they'll find Atlantish.

sophistry.
It was proven that the was historical basis or background for the myths and legends: bronze age kingdoms and settlements who fought invaders from the Greek . isles. Historical events that may have found there way into myth over time ..... as so often occurs.

Go tell your kids what to do. Don't wanna hear what I have to say? Then don't read it. How about you take your OWN advise. Instead of derailing and complaining about people talking about certain African topics you don't like how about you instead make your OWN thread highlighting why "no one takes Africana studies" seriously instead of derailing this one. How about you yourself put your money where your mouth is and put in some work for "real African history." This thread is nothing more but speculation. We all KNOW its not as important as say "Ouadane" or even Great Zimbabwe(which is still hardly excavated), but the point is the arguments brought forth by the Youtuber is interesting enough to warranta thread. Similar to the possibility of West Africans reaching the Americas(which I seen you on the old ES post supporting evidence for btw). Again speculation nothing more. More importantly maybe this thread shouldn't be in this history section?

Why you wanna come bossing things around? I should stop. The thread should be moved. Really?
This is Kel's thread. It's in the History folder. Please visit the History folder for its topic matter.
Kel broached it here. Reloaded Mgmt left it here. Here is where it ought to stay, imo.
Recap of my posts on this topic. • Atlantis is a philosopher's allegory. • Etymology of Atlantis is Atlantes. • Atlantes are a NW Afr people of the Atlas mountains. • Frobenius' saw Yoruba Nigeria as Atlantis. • Diop went with the archaeology status quo equating Minoa to Atlantis. • Link to Plato's Critias on Atlantis. • Link to Plato's Timaeus on Atlantis. • Decline of Africana • Ouadane, the Eye's town. • Confirming Göbekli Tepe Anatoli civ. • Critique of economy, industry, climate re Plato's dating • Appreciation of speculation, need for multidisciplinary evidence to support it. • The Eye presents an opportunity to learn Mauritania Africana about the Eye's locale. • Geology fact the Eye is a dome not a sunken island. • Geography fact the Eye is >200 miles from the ocean. • Central Mauritania culture and climate re Plato's Atlantean era. • Plea for critique.
You're the only one complaining and calling that derailing to cloak the fact is that you are the one derailing the topic.
I have no intentions of feeding into your distractive topic derailing personal beef.
Good luck poisoning opinion against me.
Too bad you can't compose even a single well thought out paragraph on the topic.
I'm politely asking you not to comment on me. Please direct yourself to the topic. Comment on my points like Kel, Anansi, and Djokser did.
Consider this a first notice.

Historical events that may have found there way into myth over time ..... as so often occurs. Homer wrote hella more than a few paragraphs about Troy. The guy picked up Homer. He went where Homer pointed. He found something. Thanks to that, today we know about many incarnations of Troy.

I understand that you want to use a new word you've acquired as many times as possible, but where is the sophistry in what I wrote? Greeks and Asians fought each other in many places in that part of the world. Do you know of anything found at "Troy-ish" that connects the place to characters in the Iliad? If you do, please provide the link so I can reevaluate my take on this subject. Since Africa is the subject of this thread, evidence tied to Memnon would be appreciated.
