The Joe Rogan Experience. What's happening?
Jimmy Corsetti (0:15)
Hi Joe, how are you doing?
Joe Rogan (0:15)
Good to see you again. Ben, nice to meet you.
Ben van Kerkwyk (0:17)
It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Joe.

I've enjoyed your videos, and I've enjoyed your videos, of course.
Jimmy, I watched your whole series on Atlanta all day today. I've been watching for hours. I've been watching Impact videos, videos about the Atlanta structure, and so let's just get into it.
Jimmy Corsetti (0:37)
Let's do it. So the Rishat structure, I was on your show a little over a year ago, and shared some details about it. To people who aren't aware, there's a location in the western Sahara desert of Mauritania called the Rishat structure. It's also commonly referred to as the Eye of the Sahara.
It is a site that most people have never seen or heard of before, which is truly peculiar because it's so spectacular. It's a site that astronauts typically use to reference from space.
It is a geological feature that is said to be volcanic in nature. And what's so spectacular about this is that it just so happens to match more than a dozen striking similarities to what Plato had described as the lost ancient capital city of Atlantis.
Joe Rogan (1:21)
I almost feel like we're not going to do your video justice by just talking about it, because the video is so good, and you go into so many details. By the end of it, my jaw was dropped. I was like, holy shit. From what you had the last time you were on the podcast to what you put out now, it's even more compelling.
Way more compelling.
Jimmy Corsetti (1:42)
I appreciate you saying that. And I guess to anyone that wants to check it out, I have a YouTube channel called Bright Insight. It's right at the top of the page, and it says, Lost Ancient Roman Map has Atlantis and Sahara Africa. And that's kind of where it goes from there, is that there is a...
Actually, let me just mention real quick. You're a very inquisitive individual. You have many interesting people that come and chat with you.
And when I had asked you last time, you said that until you had saw my video, you had never seen or heard of the wrist shot structure. Anytime I meet somebody new, or if I'm at some party, you're like, oh, what do you do? When we start chatting about YouTube, the first thing I do now is I show them a picture of the wrist shot. And I've never, not once, ever come across one single person that has seen or heard of it before, other than people who are familiar with what I've shared.
Joe Rogan (2:26)
But there's so many things, like where the water flows to the south, where there's clear evidence of water erosion that took place after the volcano. There's so much that points to that possibly being Atlantis.
Jimmy Corsetti (2:43)
It's spectacular. So just to run down real quick, Plato had described Atlantis as being the capital. Let me just mention that, because it was an empire said to be made up of ten kingdoms. And what I'm focusing on is the lost capital city, which was said to be made up of concentric circles, three of water, two of land, which matches the Rishat structure.
It also was said to have an opening to the sea at the south. And if you look at it from satellite imagery, you can clearly see that water had ran through it.
Joe Rogan (3:08)
Tell Jimmy what image to pull up so we can...
Jimmy Corsetti (3:13)
And furthermore, it was said to have mountains to the north, and you just so happen to have mountains called the Atlas Mountain Chain, which Atlas was said to be the very first king of Atlantis. And what's interesting is that the very first known king of Mauritania, which is where the Rishat structure is located, is also, their very first known king was also named Atlas. And though I'm not saying that that's the same individual, but what we do today is we pass down names, right? Like people are like, oh, my dad's name is John and so is my son. And so it's another striking similarity, but it goes further than that. Like there's geological similarities, such as the fact that Atlantis was said to be made up of red, black and white color stone, which is another similarity you see at the Rishat structure.
It was said to have an abundance of gold and that the outer walls were lined with it. And it turns out that Mauritania is loaded with gold. And not only that, the richest person ever known to exist in all of mankind is Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire, which consisted partly of modern-day Mauritania. And he was so rich from gold that he would be richer than Elon Musk and Bezos combined almost. Like many unfathomable amount of billions of dollars. So that's another similarity.
