What is always the most interesting, but rarely talked about is that all the life was destroyed from this area. Like ALL of the ground was salted so it would never grow anything again.

All the other deserts have plants and animals everywhere. The Sahara is most just dead. In what was probably one of the most fertile areas on the planet.

Did the crystals Atlantis was using for power suck up all the life force?
Did the firmament come down at this point because of a power mis-balance the Atlantians created?

Tons of neat stuff to look at around this area.
Also, all the sea-shore buildings that are like just underwater all over the world.

But more interesting stuff is that the Masons paid people to remove Steeles all along the Mississippi river. And there are records of Smithsonian throwing giant bones into the ocean.
