The Eye of Sahara: Unlocking the Real Atlantis

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

Recent archaeological technologies have revealed that Angkor Wat was not merely a temple complex but the world's largest pre-industrial city, housing a million people supported by an advanced hydraulic network and agricultural innovations like quadruple-cropping rice. Concurrently, the search for the lost civilization of Atlantis has expanded beyond the traditional Minoan theory to the "Eye of the Sahara" in Mauritania, where concentric geological features strikingly resemble Plato's description of a maritime capital destroyed by a great cataclysm.In the Pacific, the legend of the sunken continent of Mu suggests a 50,000-year-old mother empire that birthed global civilizations before vanishing, a theory based largely on the controversial interpretation of ancient tablets rather than physical ruins.
