QuestionsEye of the Sahara and AtlantisHas the sea reached the Richat Structure at any time since people lived in the Sahara?Answer
Answer · Eye of the Sahara and Atlantis
No: the structure has stood far inland and well above the sea throughout human times
The sea has not reached the Richat while people lived in the Sahara: global sea level was lower than today, not higher, at the end of the last Ice Age, and the structure's young sediments were laid down by streams and wind.
