QuestionsEye of the Sahara and AtlantisDo the Richat's rings match the dimensions Plato gives for Atlantis?Answer
Answer · Eye of the Sahara and Atlantis
No: Plato's rings span about 5 km, and the 127-stadia match depends on leaving out part of a 40–45 km structure
Plato's rings and island together are 27 stadia across, about 5 km; the 127-stadia figure adds the city wall, and it matches the Richat only by measuring an inner ring and leaving out the outermost of a structure 40 to 45 km wide.
Where it stands
Still possibleTwo pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- The Richat's full diameter is far larger than 127 stadia for any accepted stadion.
- Plato's ring proportions do not recur in the Richat's ridges.
What would rule it out
- A measurement showing the Richat's whole system of rings is about 23.5 km across, in Plato's proportions.
