Who would have thought that an ordinary Moorish village in the southwestern part of the Sahara to become so popular among tourists and not only. The village is in the desert village: a couple of houses, huts, a flock of white-toothed kids playing with goat droppings, but with a hole-in-the-wall grocery uncomplicated range in style with the world on a string - that is, in fact, all that the town could boast Uadan . Special attractions there never was. But only as long as the space ships do not have to surf the universe.
Eye of the Sahara, he#39;s Guell-Aire Richat, he is the navel of the Earth
It was in the sixties, the astronauts saw the strange object on the surface of the Earth: an amazing geological formation in the form of diverging interests.
- Eye! - Said the young pilot.
- You#39;re the eyes, is the navel. - Retorted assistant.
- Do not argue, let us take pictures this wonderful pyramid. - Repaid the looming conflict wise starship commander.
Around this vein was a conversation on board the spacecraft, when, in fact, was discovered this geological artifact. Scientists, without hesitation, granted him a strong name - The Eye of the Sahara, and proceeded to investigate. Soon, the public learned that the unique soil formation is completely flat bottom, a decent size - fifty miles away, and at least a decent age: the structure of each of the rings are at least 600 million years.
Versions of origin
Unfortunately, or maybe not, to date, scientists have not particularly advanced in search of clues Moorish origin miracle. Put forward several versions.
For example, one of them - the fall of the meteorite, was dispelled in tatters after when on closer inspection the object was found absolutely no dents and depressions. A decent meteorites sure to leave behind traces of this fact.
The other version has been hypothesized that the Eye of the Sahara - is an extinct volcano crater. But once past: the absence of any volcanic rocks nullified and this assumption.
The most plausible was the most boring version: the ring structure formed by natural geological processes. Raising the crust plus the action of water flows - that#39;s you and the erosion of the centuries-old mystery in the form of an eye.
Of course, the most attractive were and will be a fantastic version. Maybe The Eye of the Sahara - is not no erosion, and the landing plutonyan or traces of golden civilization of Atlantis? Everything can be ...
And while scientists are thinking and wondering, residents Uadana where the Eye of the Sahara is not particularly bother causes of the artifact, but showing surprising for those places business acumen, are dropped out on their share of opportunities. Built a hotel and know yourself equip-seeing tours to the eye of a lazy counting Moorish ther, and, in fact, selling air tour: after the extraordinary beauty of the ring structure can be assessed only being in space. The view from the ground is modest: yes bleak hills grazing camels, nothing special.
