In many ancient myths, there can be some kernels of real past events. Solon tells Plato about a marvelous city that once existed that was probably a popular tall-tale in circulation, perhaps it’s like their version of ancient aliens speculation. The “nine thousand years” in 360BC, goes back to Neolithic period before large city-states were in existence, or so archeologists thought until recently, so all the likely suspects were more recent cities. This is the excavation site at Göbekli Tepe, estimated to be 14,000yo. And this is just of fraction of what they are currently discovering. It was forgotten about by the 2nd century BCE, but stories can be passed down through the generations as a form of an ancestral telephone game. www.jpost.com/archaeology/settlement-dating-back-14000-years-discovered-in-turkey-687063

The Richat Structure (Eye Of The Sahara) matches up to the description of Atlantis, more that any other Location on Earth!
In other words...
No other proposed location comes anywhere close to matching Plato's description of the Atlantean EMPIRE's capitol city of Atlantis.
"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
YES... Per Occam's Razor... The Richat Structure is Way MORE likely to be the Atlantean EMPIRE's capitol city of Atlantis, than NOT!
If the Richat Structure is NOT Atlantis... Then there are a hell of a lot of coincidences between Plato's description of Atlantis, and the Richat Structure, that need to be explained... So, unless, there were TWO Capitol Cities... Archaeologists have a lot of "debunking" to do, to prove that it is not Atlantis... They'll need to explain away each of the many features that have been discussed in the video, as being it's own SEPERATE 'thing'... And it appears that would be a very DIFFICULT task to accomplish. Yeah, "Not SIMPLE".
It might also help to find the, other, actual Atlantis, which no one has ever come close to finding... And that doesn't seem like that might happen any time soon, if ever.
It seems impossible that Plato made up the story of Atlantis, while The Richat Structure exists and matches the description so perfectly.
So, for those who believe that Atlantis, never existed... Please feel free to explain this Amazing Coincidence in detail.

Please feel free to explain this Amazing Coincidence in detail. It’s not a matter of this being Atlantis, but whether Rachet existence served as inspiration for Solon’s story. It certainly has good bones that it is, but it’s not like dozens of more storied cities were not included to form the final version of the myth Plato put to parchment…and Plato could have made the whole thing up. That Atlantis is a fiction Plato is using to teach a lesson is the least complicated answer. But it is also very likely Atlantis is a multiple sourced myth that evolved over time adding in more fantastic details from a simpler story. To me there are plenty more amazing cities we are just now discovering due to a tech leap forward in finding these buried structures (see above) than proving a mythical city. Of course sometimes they do exist like Troy. But even Plato didn’t know about a lost ancient civilization almost in his own backyard. That’s amazing.

Of course sometimes they do exist like Troy. But even Plato didn’t know about a lost ancient civilization almost in his own backyard. That’s amazing. If Plato account of Atlantis wasn't made up, that means that Plato was a reporter recording the dialogue between Socrates and Critias as if he was actually a witness to that dialogue which is strange because most of Plato's writing and philosophical thoughts do come in the form of dialogues. So what is it? Are all dialogues fictional but the ones that mentions Atlantis? Are all dialogues real? If all the dialogues are real, then that means that Plato wasn't an actual philosopher but just a reporter which is strange because all ancient writers refer to Plato as a philosopher. It's also worthy of note, that while Plato account of Atlantis describes the city as powerful empire, he never describes it as highly advanced considering that in the story, the Atlanteans are defeated by Athens 9000 years ago. Which is also strange since Athens didn't exist 9000 years ago. Most of the ideas of Atlantis as the this race of hyper advance precursors that thought hunter gatherers agriculture and engineering that went on to give birth to civilization don't come from Plato, but from Ignatius Donnelly "Atlantis: The Antedeluvian World" written in the 19th century. In any case, Jimmy Corsetti picks and chooses the parts of Plato story that fit the Richat structure while ignoring the parts that don't. For example: The Richat structure isn't near of a shoal of mud nor is it in the middle of the sea. There is also no evidence found of a civilizations that lived near or on the Richat structure. He also ignores that a legendary king named Atlas was supposed to live near Morocco and it's the reason why people call the mountains there the Atlas mountains. Ancient maps name the region Atlantea or Atlantes. Jimmy thinks the similar name means Atlantis was there.

9000 years ago? No, Extremely few texts survives even 1000 years. And oral traditions rarely survive unchanged for half that long (there are a few exceptions). Most likely it is a garbled version about the Minoan Eruption which destroyed the Minoan Civilization around 1600 BC and which caused a tzunami to erupt throughout the Mediterranean Sea and collapsed several of the bronze age kingdoms at the time.

Atlantis is about as real as the island of Neverland.
