Sahara
EYE OF SAHARA
James McDivitt and Edward White, were
gazing at the ground during a 1965 spacecraft journey over the Sahara Desert.
They spotted something unusual, which was described as a large human eye-shaped
structure with a smaller object nearby. The diameter of this structure is
reportedly 18,500 square kilometres, making it larger than cities like Mumbai
or Karachi, while its diameter is only 40 kilometres. Despite its size, it can
only be identified from space and is often referred to as the "Eye of
Sahara" or "Richard's Structure”
LOCATION OF EYE OF SAHARA
The structure's location, near the Gulf of
Sidra in the northern western part of Africa, is significant because it was
once part of the ancient city of Atlantis, as mentioned in historical records.
The map coordinates of Atlantis and the Eye of Sahara match, suggesting a
connection. The structure's age is estimated to be around 2,500 years old, and
its total area is approximately 90 million square kilometers, making it one of
the largest structures on Earth. The Eye of Sahara is believed to be the
desert’s most intriguing feature, and its discovery has fuelled many theories
and speculations.
SAHARA'S HISTORY AS A REGION
The ocean that once existed there had
deposited a layer of limestone on its bed, which was later exposed when the
ocean receded. The first winds that blew over this white desert caused the
limestone particles to disintegrate, revealing not just the white desert but
the entire Sahara region's underlying layers. Around 26 lakh years ago, the
world was heading towards the last ice age, and the earth was freezing over.
However, the Sahara was still a lush green area with rivers flowing through it,
and various plants and trees thrived there. The Sahara's harsh conditions
emerged around 6000 years ago when the desert's conditions began to change.
ENDEE PLATEAU
This oasis, located in the heart of the
desert, is a stopover for travellers and is home to unique animals like zebras
and crocodiles. The area is also rich in natural resources, including water and
minerals, which have attracted human settlement for centuries. The oasis was
once inhabited by Africans, and some experts believe that crocodiles in the
area are an extinct African crocodile species. The area is also home to ancient
artefacts’, including pottery and mystery stones, which have puzzled
researchers for decades. One such stone, known as the Enigma Stone, was
believed to be a piece of our planet until it was discovered to originate from
the Sahara. The Sahara Desert is known to be the largest hot desert in the
world, but it is also the third largest desert in terms of total area.
Archaeologists have unearthed evidence of advanced civilizations, including the
ancient city of Ghadames in Libya, which dates back to 10,000 BCE. The Sahara
Desert was once a lush, green region with numerous rivers and lakes, allowing
for the development of agriculture and urban settlements. The ruins of these
ancient cities and the petroglyphs found in the desert suggest that the people
who lived there had a deep understanding of astronomy and mathematics.
