There are innumerable geographical accidents on Earth, but few mysterious as the structure of Richat, in Shahara, commonly known as the Eye of Africa. He was officially discovered in June 1965 by the two crew members of the NASA Gemini 4 mission, Commander James McDivit and the pilot Edward White, who orbit the earth, in the middle of the space race, seeking to be the first to take a space walk.
There are numerous mysteries that hide behind the curious natural sphere. In fact, the structure is located about 30 km from Ouadane, which is a caravanera town located in the Adrar region on the western edge of the Sahara desert, in Mauritania. There are various theories about the formation of this great structure, but none of them manages to explain why we are facing an almost completely circular structure. Due to its form it was speculated that it could be due to the impact of a meteorite, but the analysis of the land eliminated this possibility, due to the presence of rocks of the prerozoic periods to the ordovicical, as well as the Cretaceous (at least they explain it in this way Eyescuriosos.com) Therefore, the most accepted theory is that it is a symmetrical structure of an anticline dome that has been eroded over millions of years, and shows us its nucleus. Although there are other people who believe it is a sign or evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life. You know the world is full of mysteries, and people are still one of them. What do you think?
You can see it from Google Maps. Is incredible.
