WHY the “Eye of the Sahara” Looks Artificial | Richat Structure Mystery

Visible from space and stretching nearly 25 miles (40 km) across the Sahara Desert, the Richat Structure — also known as the “Eye of the Sahara” — is one of Earth’s most unusual geological formations.

Located in Mauritania, this massive circular structure has sparked theories for decades, including claims that it may have inspired the legend of Atlantis.

Scientists explain the formation as a natural result of uplift, erosion, and exposed rock layers formed over millions of years.

Yet its nearly symmetrical appearance continues to fuel debate and speculation.

Even astronauts have used it as a landmark from orbit.

So why does a natural formation look so perfectly structured…
and why does it continue to resemble something artificial?
