Mega-Scale Floods in North Africa near Richat? Map Comparisons to Known Features w/ Randall Carlson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2022
- In this video Randall Carlson looks at the area around the Richat Structure and finds evidence for mega-scale floods that swept across Northern Africa. With the help of Google Earth, we can see current ripples, chevron-shaped sand dunes, lineations, and other unusual flood-related features.
The Channeled Scablands of Eastern Washington have many similar features, and everyone is in agreement that they were caused by mega-floods near the end of the last Ice Age.
This leads us to an interesting hypothesis - the Sahara Desert experienced a "mega-scale pluvial event", potentially dating to the Pleistocene / Holocene boundary around 11,600 years ago. How did so much rain fall in such a short period of time to cause intense flooding? Possibly an impact into the ocean, which vaporized immense amounts of water, and then rained out over Northern Africa for days, or even weeks?
As we continue our journey in Google Earth, we find more evidence for mega-floods in Saudi Arabia, India, and maybe even Australia.
Afterwards, Randall and Peter talked about submarine canyons, which brought up more questions than answers. How did Monterey Canyon form? Can turbidity flows create river-like features thousands of feet below sea level? Is it possible that sea levels can rise / fall up to 10,000 feet?! Based on the amount of erosion we see around the world, could we even find much evidence of ancient cultures dating back 15,000+ years ago?

I spent some time in Western Sahara and Mauritania in the 90’s and it was incredibly common to find fish vertebrae in the desert. In fact they are all over. We even saw significantly larger fish bones and even what I thought was whale more than once - though I didn’t see that very far inland - nearer to the giant salt flats a few miles in from the coast. I couldn’t cross the flats to the East though due to the flats themselves and much of Western Sahara was a minefield back then - literally had to drive in water on the beach sometimes as it was the only safe route- so maybe the larger bones could go further in near the salt, I’m not sure.
Look up Ancient Lakes of the Sahara - it once was closer to a savanah (between 7000 and 3000 BCE).
Wadi Al Hitan
@@justanotherguy965 ah yes of course
@@justanotherguy965 Lake Whales?
It still is a minefield apparently
I've been looking at this potential flood area for years. Finally, someone else has noticed it. There are other similar areas in the Sahara. Great podcast Randall.
Hi Peter, glad to see you collaborating with Randall.
I am from the Seattle area like you. I really enjoyed your Scablands video a while back!
Thanks again, you all rock, positive waves, 3,2,1,blast off
I like your work. I learnt about a comet that fell into the Indian ocean, not far from Australia about 5,000 years ago. South Australia, and mid to lower Western Australia copped a mega tsunami from the impact. A lot of the ocean blasted upwards and even out of the atmosphere. When the water cooled it started to fall back into Earth, resulting in tumultuous rainfall for months. This event impacted a lot of Earths other areas. An underwater topography has found the 'Burkle crater' of the comet. If it was an iron rock asteroid the damages would've been devastating.
finally someone is talking about this. Everytime I look at google maps you can see the flooding.
Electric universe, magnetic pole flip and nova events. Lots to read and understand (SuspiciousObservers is a good start, but many others as well). But when you have all the worlds oceans traversing the contents during these episodes every 12k or so years you have a world full of evidence for those willing to see. Water erosion on the Giza plateau, along with a lot of other sea/ocean water related anomalies found there.
Noah's flood type events^
Yep SuspiciousObservers and Bright Insight. The cycles of Catastrophy seem to be known by the so called elites. You ever wonder about their DESPERATION for a world wide totalitarian state where they institute mass depopulation? Carrington Events happen before the massive Cataclysms. The elites would be hunted or at least in the same boat as everyone else once a Carrington Event hits. And they might not survive us "Zombies" to make it through to the other side once the main Cataclysm hits. So they need to keep this hushed and do everything possible for absolute control and carry out mass depopulation before the Times of Troubles start.
“The oceans were tossed about, they no longer bear their names” - Edgar Cayce
Edgar Cayce was always just regurgitating old knowledge at a time where old knowledge was transitioning to legend and myth. So of course now everything he says sounds "prophetic" or mystical. It says WAY more about the culture of ignorance than anything special about Edgar Cayce
@@dannydandaniel8040 you do know there's no such thing as "old knowledge" of Atlantis, right? Timaeus and Critias were regarded as inventions of Plato when he wrote them. Other than folk myths of world floods, there was no "Atlantis story." And writers who adopted Atlantis in the Renaissance just embellished Plato with their own fancies.
Cayce literally IS the "old knowledge."
Edgar Cayce was just a conman.
Nonsense
I'm sorry to say, but another once great mind has too
@@norml.hugh-mann to be frank, I'm not quite sure what it is you're saying.
@@norml.hugh-mann you think so huh?
Makes me think about the unlocking of the crust that Ben Davidson talks about.
Love your work! Thank you!!!!
The Sahara used be mostly jungle and savanah in the in the past 6,000-10,000 years and hosted 2 mega lakes which were among the largest we've ever found. I can imagine that a large scale rain event hitting while those lakes were still full would be devastating; and one of those were positioned North-East of The Eye of the Sahara.
I refer you to my first post. My hypothesis is capturing our moon caused this. However Youngerdry could have too. 18km crater discovered about 15:yrs ago in Greenland.
Micronova causing continental shift from the crust unlocking.
Massive tsunamis
Since the Earth is not symmetrical, it could very well behave along the lines of the Dzhanibekov effect. This means that we need to look for evidence of poles not being in places that we wouldn't normally expect. This would also mean that there could be evidence of glaciers in place we would also not normally look for them.
Not prolonged rainfall. But what happens to rain during a 1200 year ice-age? It parks itself on top of mountains as ice - enough to make ocean levels drop. And when it all melts... You have not got heavy rainfall as such but you do have its effect; 1200 years worth of water, which even if it melted over 100 years is still 12 years of rain every year for a century. That's going to make a few puddles!
The Med was a closed Basin. Mountains enclose all of it except low points to the Black Sea basin, a low valley at Gibraltar, and a low(ish) coastline from Libya to Egypt.
European meltwater will accumulate in the Med, eventually it will cut out at Gibraltar and Bosphorus, but not before it has slowly pushed up over Libya and Egypt and down into Chad and then west. (and also down through Arabia)
Randall Carlson has many articles where he mentions 'Glacial Lake Missoula' in N. America - this is 'Glacial Lake Mediterranean', about 2000ft deeper or so than today.
I'm really surprised he has not made the connection? (Unless published elsewhere since?)
Randall Carlson also talks about canyons and gorges cut out by floods. Look again at the two 'fingers' at the end of the Red Sea. (The Gulf's of Suez and Aqaba) These are both caused by some of this same run-off finding an alternative short-cut to the Red Sea.
On a related note:
Also will people please stop talking about shifts in magnetic poles. Magnetic poles have very little to do with climate change events and nothing to do with physical or landscape geography.
The Earth does NOT have a magnetic field of its own, the earth is a conductor moving in the Sun's magnetic field, which induces electric currents in the Earths mantle which in turn create internal magnetic fields. It's induced, not inherent. What we see as a 'regular' dipole field is actually nothing of the sort and just the averaged out fields across the whole planet.
Note too that the Earths pole is constantly changing, this is why older maps have a different compass deviation that those printed today. When I was a kid in the 70s it was 6 degrees (for the UK) and decreasing - it should be about 1 degree now I think and will pass through zero soon.
The rotation pole is something different and to all intents and purposes is constant - the Earth is a giant flywheel.
So many people misunderstand the magnetic pole reversals and think the Earth somehow slewed off its rotation axis leading to catastrophe at the surface. NO!
The Earth's torque vector is huge, torque is a conserved quantity. It's basic physics.
If anything had caused the Erath's axis to move that dramatically in the last few billion years we would not exist talk about it. It wouldn't create tidal waves or earthquakes - it would destroy the entire crust and everything on it.
Thank You! Great explanations!
Go Randall go!!!
Go where? To Minesowda?
This is a nice treat, thanks everyone. I remember seeing the original breakdown of the Richat area but this is a great update.
good
Where did all the salt in the area around the Richat come from and could it remain there if the flooding was freshwater?
Again, extremely interesting stuff guys, thank you so much for sharing. In support of your argument I would just add that erosion from large scale pluvial runoff seems to be consistant with Robert Schoch's assessment that the erosion around the Sphinx was also caused by water runoff, perhaps from the same epoch / set of events ?
Kinda like it rained for 40 days and nights?
I lived in Mauritania for 4 years. It was not uncommon to find seashells in the Gorgal region near Kaedi along the Senegal river.
Loving the quality of this content Randall! Thank you and the team!!
peter you are killing it with these clips! thank you
Randall is assuming the elevations observed in the present are the same as when the fluvial event happened. i don't think rainfall would have left the scars of water flow with such definition. it's more likely that a tidal wave rushed the ancient and at the time, lower coast of west africa.
Randall " The Great " Carlson !
Love your knowledge, Integrity, and passion in all you do Brother.. everything you explain makes perfect sense, and I can see exactly what's goin on, Great job. Thank you
I love Randall's material. It's always informative and insightful!
This guy is really intriguing. What an incredible topic… this feature deserves more archaeology.
Have you considered an disturbance of Earth's rotation? That will cause massive flooding in one direction and then a huge back slash of that water? The salt and marine fossils in this area seems to indicate that the ocean went over this area. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this subject. Well done.
Thinking the full 12k or half-chron 6k magnetic anomaly cycles, any variant of the numerous version of Crustal Shift hypotheses would displace unfathomable amounts of either Indian or Atlantic Oceans into the Mediterranean basin which would then seek the path of least resistance back out over the relatively flat North African and Mesopotamian topography.
While it may not have covered every landmass, the survivors may have thought so, Re: Noah and Gilgamesh. Just a thought to ponder.
Lol, I suggest you study inertia. Then imagine or calculate the energy requirements in overcoming the inertia of Earth's rotation.
@@CandideSchmyles I don't blame you for not knowing. Talking about inertia, you apparent don't know about the relationship of the Earth magnetic field and the Earth rotation or Length of day. A change in the field results in a change in the rotation. Check the suspicious0bservers channel and be educated on what will happen if the magnetic poles reverses. It happens every 12K years. It coincides with our sun going nova. Bless you.
@@willembont4790 Yeah and you can stop a 50 car freight train with a fridge magnet too I imagine.
@@CandideSchmyles you shouldn't comment if you haven't researched a subject
The channel Bright Insight’s suggestion is that an impact event caused mega tsunami hurled ocean water over the Richat and the water then retreated back to the ocean, leaving behind deposits of ocean salt seen in the white rims of the ripples. That channel did say the salt was oceanic in composition and looking at the vast vast area of Mauritania that is affected, I’d say that view is very compelling. Also very concerning!
There are also supposed to be ancient river beds, detectable only from space?, like the Richat, running east-west across Egypt and to the west. These were destroyed during the event and ocean sand dumped over the area, leaving it a desert where once it had been grasslands.
I could see the deluge that filled the Mediterranean splashing back and taking a more southern route over the whole north of Africa.
How about a sub sea volcanic gas explosion near Etna?
Peter did an excellent job. Thank you Randall as always. I would love to see Peter more involved in the show. 👍
So much easier to follow now, with out so many voices confusing things. Great Job.
Randall (and anyone else) if you want to check out the Richat, Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 has the area modeled that you can fly over and examine from a bird's eye/pilot view. It's pretty cool.
Noted very interesting thanks
Jimmy covered it all...Bright insight...
Yes, jimmy did. But Jimmy and Randall talk and we're probably gonna get a collaboration of some sort eventually
Happy holidays and thank you for your wonderful work uncovering what was lost in the past! It was a great journey through time with you and your friends ❤
I wonder what timeframe were looking at there?.... Is the Fenoskandian ice sheet on the table? (I have no idea how to spell that by the way).
Model the earth on different tilts. It will be interesting to see the old seashores and ancient civilizations.
Awesome video. Thank you.
What geographic features and archeological sites are buried beneath the African and Arabian sands?
Indeed my friend
Did my own flyover of this area 3 years ago, and I had exactly the same thoughts. History is right under our feet.
Over the richat? Fascinating.
Sand ridges are wind blown. Bedrock erosion is a different beast. Most likely you're looking for the remains of a massive inland lake to find what could have eroded such features. If the ice caps were suddenly removed, the continental uplift would have occurred over North America, Europe and Asia. There is no doubt that Africa would have also been affected and perhaps buckled, lifting up and decanting a huge inland lake over those features into the sea.
Ty, Sir Randall! ...and this video!
O yes iv been waiting to here you talk about this Randall! Thanks pal, tell gram I said hi 👋, 🇮🇪☘
I’ve seen wind driven sand dunes that also resemble tidal action on sand, without any water. Is there any chance that the linear features in Africa are wind driven?
Awesome as usual. Just fyi, Richat is pronounced "Reeshaat" in Arabic (ريشات). In French influenced North Africa the Arabic "sh" is transliterated with "ch".
Thank you!
Oh man I would love to rummage through Randall's bookshelves!
I am so happy I just found this channel!
I'M pretty confident that The Richat Structure is Atlantis...everything fits...
It isn’t right outside the pillars of Hercules.
@@KevinSmith-ic9ip I realise it's not right outside of the pillars of hercules, but it is outside, and the land of atlantis may not just consist of the Richat Structure, but the land from morroco down...old maps mention atlantis in Mauritania...
@@KevinSmith-ic9ip It's relatively close, hang a left after you pass them and its right there. Everything else matches exactly. I'd call off the search and begin excavating.
@@patriotpizzaman do you have a shovel? Let's go 👍
Gibraltar may not even be the correct Pillars. The idea that Gibraltar is the Pillars of Hercules is based on a guess, not verified information. It is largely agreed upon as correct, but the majority of people who think Gibraltar is the Pillars of Hercules never inspected the reasoning as to why that conclusion was reached. Two other straits (or Pillars) existed in Nigeria and Algeria. Those straits apparently flowed through Africa near the Richat.
Wind driven dunes often act like fluid dynamics, creating chevrons, linear dunes and ripples only on a larger scale. It's useful to focus on those features left in rock and more permanent features than sand or loose regolith. Additionally, as you point out features in New York, you mention glaciation scars. If glaciation was not the case of North Africa, it would be interesting to see both where the water came from and why it's no longer there. Was the Mediterranean much larger before the Straits of Gibraltar broke through? Are there features that show evidence of shorelines where water doesn't exist anymore? Finding the stepped shorelines from changing water levels would certainly go a long way toward lending weight to your hypothesis.
I think the water was from a massive tsunami caused by a volcano
Your work is amazing and have enjoyed learning so much from you Randall. Love and Respect from Scotland. Keep up the amazing work my good sir
Awesome description, are there more videos like this. Good job Peter and Randall
Please make a video about your library. The bookworms among us (especially me) will love it.
Finally someone is talking about this. I can prove the waves were around 350-450 feet high and went as far as the Black sea, China, etc... Its likely where all the sand came from. It is possible, albeit not by me, for people more skilled to use the waveform etched into the bedrock to estimate the amount and speeds of the water and I am sure they will correlate with my 350-450feet hypothesis. Its likely the result of a GDB given the place where it started which is over by China and Russia just NE of the Black sea. It filled the Mediterranean and overflowed etching the marks on the desert we are looking at. Look at the Islands near the outlet to the Atlantic. It will help you gauge the size of the waves as you can see where the wave ran up the island and the height of the markings all around match the values I just gave.
PETER, RANDALL: Thank you for jumping to help RC categorize, refresh the RC LIBRARY of incredible data ... subbed, 👍
Randall crushing them with science
I think looking art prevailing winds would prove many of the features are sand erosion..there is water evidence, canyons etc. But I think you're looking at dunes. For clarification water and air are both fluids...and thousands of years of wind, have similar effects to years of water.
Ye this isnt really any mystery to geology.
Why is the structure you showed us at 8:20 a clear indication for water flow and not (thousands of years of) wind flow from north-east to south-east?
I know … it looks like seabed, but don’t look wind erosions/flows almost the same?
Can you explain the difference in a video?
Yep I wanted to post a similar thought, so I checked the comments and found yours (luckily right on the top): the long streaks of sand around the "fish" like shape of the massif where the Richat is located flow typically to the Atlantic. It is a known fact that the Sahara feeds the Atlantic and also the Amazonian forest by nutrients rich sand. But the deep valleys I agree must had been created by water - but of course very long, when Africa was green and water wasn't scarce. But still, there's some room for megaflood tell-tale signs, although not the sandy surfaces as these were sculpted by millenia of blowing sand for sure.
Wind is definitely playing a big part here. In the Namib desert and Kalahari and Karoo you find exactly the same valley structures and channels but they were created millions of years ago and not resent events.
I could listen to Randall forever.
Randall plus googol earth equals interesting content. Thanks to all involved. Randall keep going brother.
These subjects, particularly regarding the history and origins of man and our civilizations is my largest interest.
We are now at a moment in time where our technology can peel back the shroud of our origin.
The biggest obstruction in getting to the truth are those people who have a vested interest in maintaining the theories that are being disproven.
Keeping an open analytical mind to the new information can lead us out of our dark ages.
Very well said… I like how you are thinking.
Hi, guys! Amazing video again. I wonder if you can co-opt a capable person to train an AI to recognize these patterns globally and create a model for types of catastrophic events. That would be nice to see
I love Randall Carlson! I always feel like I’m smarter because, I listened to what he had to say.
Very interesting. Thank you very much
Can you differentiate between the “current ripples” and sand dunes? To me there are some that look like ripples, and some that could simply be dunes. Feet on the ground would be able to confirm the difference in underfoot materials I’d imagine.
I don't think it's rain water. Such rain could not have affected only the Sahara.
I think there are global tsunamis caused by asteroid/comet pieces that fell all over the planet.
THANK YOU, AWSOME AS USUAL
YEs! Someone finally covering this.
I’ve seen another you tube video that suggest that Richat structure is possibly the lost city of Atlantis. With a tsunami of epic proportions going from the northeast to west direction flooding Atlantis and eventually leaving massive salt deposits in it’s wake. Pretty compelling theory suggesting that Plato’s description of Atlantis location has been misinterpreted. See link here ua-cam.com/video/xo_fMcSLp7Q/v-deo.html
Let’s start searching in that flow path from Egypt down into Chad. All that ancient technology that is missing, we’re going to find it buried there. Maybe not in their entirety. Makes you wonder how everything ended up under sand… floods.
Yes, and I could tell you exactly where to find it. The entire contents of a great city, rich in wealth, just waiting to be unearthed. Do you by chance know how this might be accomplished or have the means to launch such a recovery yourself?
Stunningly impactful images
Love everything about this man!
Great Video Randall
All of the topics Randall addresses are consistent with catastrophic impact events. What seems to slip by is the fact that whatever struck the earth most likely hit ocean more than land. I can't do the math, but the amount of water put into the atmosphere and mega-tsunamis from such an event/events explains in my mind how the earths topography has been change in such a short time in earths history. Little to no evidence can be found in this case, but it sure left the scars on land.
Yes, just found out that there was a large meteor impact west of Australia that caused widespread costal scarring from tsunamis and must have caused large global rainfall when evaporated water condensed out of the atmosphere again.
I think the northern Nebraska Sandhills are ‘current ripples’ from extreme flooding. The only paper I’ve seen on the Sandhills says the wind caused them. I would sure like to hear Mr Carlson’s opinion.
After seeing your original video about a year or two ago, I was looking at the terrain in the area and it's so cool to see you discuss it! Like I understand why richat probably isn't Atlantis but still, some pretty insane terraformation took place here based on the residual evidence
Salt water flood not fresh water. The white salt deposits are exhibit A.
It's as if the continent shifted suddenly eastward toward Asia violently, maybe in one day, narrowing the water channels which spilled over across the land traveling westward.
That would also leave traces. Theres none. Geological maps are today considered pretty solid.
Theres no unknown huge events at this scale in this area.
@@frosty6960
Correction....there's none YET.
Gobekli Tepe is a good illustration of how knowledge can change.
I rest my case.
@@justjeff3107 No.. again, preserved finds in top soil dating back further, debunks this.
@@frosty6960
Says you. I challenge you to prove your statement.
I'll wait.
@@justjeff3107 Sure, its not my problem you dont know about this.
You can start with the Ibomaurusian culture roaming there 25,000 and 23,000 cal BP.
And thats coastal finds, hundreds of meteres lower than Richat.
And as ive said, the northwest africa was even worse and more dry than today from glacial max until the younger dryas.
There's no evidence of glaciers there because it is on the equator or close to it now. What if Ben from Suspicious observers is correct though, and the poles switch back and forth. That would put that region close to Antartica. Sort of along the same lines of why there are equatorial trees remnants in Alaska.
I wouldn't doubt Ben
Very good investigation! Super interesting and well done. Thank you Gentemen. Especially do I appreciate the soberness and the respect for these immensely catastrophical incidents.
Have you ever considered the time of year of these perhaps even global rains?
A beginning on the 17th day of the 2nd month would set this precipitation for the arctic winter period before and/or around winter solstice. This could well explain the difference between the effects of the ice-age on the Northern compared to the Southern hemisphere.
Me and my coach had a conversation, she is a very wise woman and she is under the impression that you are correct as well! Our talk validated that you’re on the right track, in my mind.
Its looks the same in Nazca from the mountains to the coast many water traces!?
I think the Richat structure is a meteor impact. If you look around to the north east there are a string of smaller impact looking craters. Much much smaller, but could have been fragments coming off the main meteor. The string is also in the north east direction, which lines up with the slight elliptical shape of the richat structure itself. The meteor came in at a slight angle.
I believe they've already done studies on the area and confirmed that it's an ancient volcano of sorts.
Though I believe the Richat structure to be an ancient collapsed lava dome, about 25 miles WSW of the structure is what appears to be another crater about a mile wide.
And the nearby mountain range is called the Atlas Mountains why?
I believe that the ripples were water (and not sand) created only when we see the ripples with gray underlying rock. This tells us that although the current ripples are made of sand and by the wind, they are just copying the underlying ripples made earlier by the water. In Saudi Arabia, I'd say these were wind made.
When Randal responds with "[water generally] flows from up to down", he shown his sagelikeness
Mr Randall looks exactly like what He's talking about.!
Now that's serious dedication!😎 This thinking is very old and we've not been taught about it. As I say that I'm questioning why? Hmm. I'm Way over half century and been thinking about stuff since I started working at 15 atnational communications electronics in St Petersburg Florida which seems extremely relevant at the moment. Thank God it didn't hit happen St Pete it would have been a catastrophe not that it wasn't bless you people I wish I could get there and help. Okay that was too much but it meant it so good day thank you
Just a wild theory... Everyone are focused on Earth and their poles, or possible asteroid impacts, but very old legends of South America talk about sudden shift in the movement of the Moon. Since the Moon is also responsible for water tides on Earth, that could possibly be a cause for a sudden giant displacement of water on our planet, without bigger impact on its crust.
Also, those asteroid impacts in Greenland could be caused by chunks from the Moon, if some great asteroid hit it.
I'm disappointed over the quick dismissal of aeolian processes (i.e. landscape design caused by wind). The suggested water flows TRACE PERFECTLY the prevailing winds of all these regions. The northeasterly trade winds that carried large ships across the Atlantic for hundreds of years originate EXACTLY HERE, and these winds were useful because they were so reliable. The wind is always here and it is always blowing in that direction. It carries such enormous quantities of airlifted sand from the Sahara that it is the DOMINANT FERTILIZATION SOURCE of the Amazon rainforest. The sand is deposited like a trail stretching from the Sahara straight towards the Amazon rainforest. The direction of airflow around mountain features look very similar to waterflows, but with two main differences: 1) it is typically on a much bigger scale than waterflows, and 2) it flows uphill much more effortlessly than water. A waterflow would be very obediant to the slope of the terrain, while an airflow only cares a little. And what we see here are very large scale features that often ignore the slope of the land, and that carve passes through mountains, up one side of the mountain and down the other side of the mountain. Water doesn't do that.
Interesting thought. But wind alone might not explain the existence of a debris field in the Atlantic ocean, esp. Africa was not so lifted out o the water thousands of years ago. The debris field would have reached further into the ocean than it now seems. But we all new how storm floods for example are influenced by wind directions and patterns, therefore there might be a bigger picture at work. Younger dryas catastrophe? Something hits in the ocean like a fist in a tub. Atlantic and mediterranean flooding Africa and debris is taken with the water flowing back in the Atlantic Ocean, but in some valleys and canyons it stayed, killing vegetation. Platon described after the downfall of Atlantis there was mud and water but not seafare-able. Therefore the massive salt rests. If the water was just splashing, there would have not stayed this amount of salt.
@@jp-legal And all the other ample evidence for floods
Combination of the two maybe?
mn 14 .. exactly what i was thinking for years now..
As ALWAYS .... AWESUMZ !!!!!
❤⚡⚡🗝🏁🏁
Regarding the Richat structure in particular, I do agree that had this been the location of Atlantis, the city and the buildings, perhaps megalithic even, were tumbled away and are buried miles to the east under the sands and sediments. What we must remember, are that the Ancients all built/dug under ground structures. It is my opinion that some should still exist (provided a city was located here), but the entrances are buried. Once one of these underground structures is discovered, we likely will find the truth of the history of the area.
agreed but also.. what are the chances any underground tunnels, structures, or caves were secure/sealed enough that water and debris didn't filter down and fill with sediments? Just thinking about places in the Giza plateau that are being filled with water and junk from the damming of the Aswan.
Not only are you obviously ignorant, but everything you think you know is fantasy.
Does a comet or asteroid hitting the ocean cause multiple effects
1. A huge tsunami
2. A huge pulse of water into the upper atmosphere, hence huge flooding rain
3. Secondary effects
Eg like the Indian Ocean impact
Like the Atlantic impact off Guinea
Kudos guys .until next time.
Thank you for doing this. The earth topography exposes what really happened if you know what to look for.
Folks, the only way enough water washed across those landscapes is the contents of the ocean basins were displaced sufficiently to submerge them! Ie. I speculate a displacement of the Earth's Orientation causing such an event. (yes, shades of the Chan Thomas - The Adam and Eve Story)
But the water seems to have been flowing toward the ocean. If what you are saying is true, wouldnt the water have been flowing away from the ocean further inland?
Most likely it was the North American glacier water flash melted by an asteroid impact
Nature is freaking amazing!
I was literally JUST looking at the Indus River Valley, thinking to myself, "What would Randall say?" Then this video pops up!
The Indus river Valley just like the other rivers being fed off of the Hindu Kush has subjected to massive flooding as long as the monsoons have been happening. Weather systems loaded with moisture sweep in from the Indian Ocean and slam into the Himalayas and drop just about all their water.
How about Noah's flood?? It rained for 40 days and night.
How about Noah's animals, all being in test tubes?
Looks like the ocean washed over the west side of the continent then receeded back. That might also explain the large abundance of salt
It would be good if Randal could take us to the Sahara desert and show how we tell the difference between wind driven geological features and water
I've been waiting for this after seeing these features while looking at the area when it was discussed as a possible Atlantis
What would've caused massive amounts of downwards flooding from the Mediterranean southwards into Africa, and not also devastate the southern coasts of Europe? Because this looks like an insane amounts of water that consistently poured southwards
According to Randall, in previous videos, it is not a long duration of flooding that is required, rather, vast amounts of water ( over a period of a even a few weeks) can create similar sculpting of bedrock. He used the Columbia river basin and portions of Washington State to illustrate his theory.
Backwash?
Volcano erupted from the north east
The comet impact west of Australia does in fact appear to be a credible source of mayhem, partly because of tsunamis and partly by evaporating a lot of sea water that then came down as global rainfall, quite probably for around 40 days.
How do you explain the supposed abundance of non fossilized sea shells / creature remains fond around the Richat structure, can only be lowering sea levels or a tsunami.
