Giant eye is so massive that it can be
0:02
seen from space. In fact, early space
0:05
missions used it to navigate. The
0:08
sedimentary rocks of the structure come
0:10
from different eras. The circle is 24.8
0:14
mi in diameter and was believed to have
0:17
been a result of an asteroid impact when
0:20
it was first discovered. But the
0:21
scientists nowadays argue the structure
0:23
could not be due to an impact because of
0:25
the symmetrical and deeply eroded
0:28
geological dome. Another more fun theory
0:30
suggests that the recock structure could
0:32
actually be the lost city of Atlantis
0:34
described by Plato. Atlantis is
0:37
described to be a mysterious island
0:39
that's circular in shape, divided into
0:41
circles of land and water. Whatever the
0:44
cause of the eye of Africa might be, it
0:47
sure is a mindblowing
