Could the Eye of Sarah possibly be the location of Atlantis?

[llorando]

FYI, Atlantis was a was a circular city with rings of water that was destroyed by earthquakes and massive flooding. The Eye of the Sarah is a circular anomaly located in the Sarah desert, and what's interesting, if you look at satellite images, you can see the land/area surrounding the Eye of the Sarah, shows signs that a massive amount of water once flowed through the Sarah.

Sahara*

1. If a city was there, you would see remains of it.
2. The eye of sahara, also known as the richat structure, is dated to be roughly 94-104 million years old, while atlantis, if it existed, is obviously far younger.
3. The terrain there was not wet/lush during the time atlantis was said to have existed, so even the idea of atlantis being built atop the pre-existing richat structure is not likely.
4. Evidence of "flooding" is present in the sahara because it used to be under an ocean, and after that, was wetlands, but this was before humans, (let alone civilizations) existed.

Actually the Sahara was wetlands up until about 5,000, years ago, and gave/rock paintings point to humans once living there.

Correction noted, thank you.

Unlikely, I don't know if I'm right here but I'm fairly sure they know for not far off if not certain where "Atlantis" is or was.

It's likely volcanic caldera that cooled slowly down and created concentric structures. There are smaller ones in Baltic sea just smaller, one looks even like millennium falcon from Star Wars.

I loved this theory since I first heard it a few years ago. It does match wl quite closely to Plato's description of the area

Anything is possible.
