This episode is going to focus on the Richat Structure theory. It was made popular by Jimmy from the youtube channel Bright insight, whom I linked in the episode description. Jimmy cites a show from the Gaia channel who also places Atlantis as the Richat structure. While my own eyes light up when I found this theory I eventually was able to break it down and think about it logically with what I already knew.
For those who may hold on to your beliefs, I want you to keep them. I am not trying to disprove your deeply held beliefs merely I am following the science and forming my opinion on quantifiable facts. Emotionally based decisions are the hardest decisions to change without an equally powerful emotion. Just for clarification, I wanted the Richat structure to be Atlantis. I tried to make the rest of what I knew about it fit.
Sadly, when I start taking away from other known descriptions to fit my own narrative, I am not doing science a justice, instead I am sending people on wild goose chases and potentially causing more harm than good. I am taking what I know from Plato and other ancient writers to try to find that needle in a haystack.
I know that most scholars write off Atlantis as a moral story from the imagination of Plato but I truly want to believe in it. I want Atlantis to be true just as much as I want to own my own dragon eggs and ride my very own dragon to work. However, I can also follow the science and accept that Dragons may be extinct and probably snakes and not the really cool fire breathing Game of Thrones dragons.
