撒哈拉之眼位置圖示
撒哈拉之眼
位於世界上最大的沙漠——非洲撒哈拉沙漠的西南部茅利塔尼亞境內,是全球十大最壯觀的地質奇蹟之一。它的直徑達到了48公裡,海拔高度約400米,需要繞地球軌道才得見其全貌。這個「撒哈拉之眼」又被稱為「理查特結構」。
The eye of the Sahara is located in Mauritania, the largest desert in the world, in the southwestern part of the Sahara desert of Africa. It is one of the ten most spectacular geological wonders in the world. It has a diameter of 48 kilometers and an altitude of about 400 meters. It needs to orbit the earth to get a full view of it. This "Sahara eye" is also known as the "richardt structure".
俯瞰「撒哈拉之眼」
起初該地形被認為是由於隕石碰撞而形成的,目前地質學家認為這可能是由於地質結構上升或侵蝕造成的,這種環狀外型的形成至今仍是一個謎團。
At first, the terrain was thought to have been formed by meteorite collision. At present, geologists believe that it may be caused by the rise of geological structure or erosion. The formation of this ring shape is still a mystery.
撒哈拉之眼是全球十大最壯觀的地質奇蹟之一,如此之大的地質眼珠,全世界獨一無二。
The eye of the Sahara is one of the ten most spectacular geological wonders in the world. Such a large geological eye is unique in the world.
科學層面至今並未確定解釋「撒哈拉之眼形成原因」,它就像地球的眼睛,緊緊盯著外太空
20世紀60年代初,美國的一艘飛船在太空遨遊。當飛船經過非洲上空時,航天員在遠離地球幾百千米的太空觀察到了一個奇怪的現象:在撒哈拉大沙漠西南部出現了一個圓形的東西,它像一隻睜得圓溜溜的眼睛,這就是撒哈拉之眼,緊緊地盯著太空!
In the early 1960s, an American spaceship traveled in space. When the spaceship passed over Africa, the astronauts observed a strange phenomenon in the space hundreds of kilometers away from the earth: a circular object appeared in the southwest of the Sahara desert, which looked like a round eye, which was the Sahara eye, staring at the space closely!
航拍是不可能了,因為「撒哈拉之眼太大了」只能在太空中一覽全貌
「撒哈拉之眼」的中心十分平坦,四周是一些矮山丘,再遠處是漫漫黃沙。
The center of the "eye of the Sahara" is very flat, surrounded by some low hills, and in the distance is the endless yellow sand.
從衛星拍攝的照片來看,它一共分為3層:最中心的一個圓圈,像瞳孔,一側邊緣稍有破損;「瞳孔」的外圍,是一個更大一些的圓圈,好像圓圓的眼珠;最外圍的那個大圈,當然是「眼瞼」了。更絕的是,這個大圈的外沿還有絲絲縷縷的環狀物,仿佛是這隻「眼睛」的睫毛。
According to the satellite photos, it is divided into three layers: the most central circle, like the pupil, has a slightly damaged edge; the periphery of the pupil is a larger circle, like a round eye; the outer circle, of course, is the "eyelid". What's more, the outer edge of this big circle is also full of rings, which seems to be the eyelashes of this "eye".
左為傳說中的「亞特蘭蒂斯」,右為「撒哈拉之眼」。有一種說法:如今的撒哈拉之眼既是當年的亞特蘭蒂斯文明
PS:近幾十年內,幾乎每年都會有科研團隊宣稱找到了真正的「亞特蘭蒂斯遺址」,導致人們對這類新聞報導早已免疫。畢竟海王波塞冬和他大兒子阿特拉斯不是那麼好找的。
