Richat Structure 


The Richat Structure also known as the Eye of Africa ,Located near Ouadane, west–central Mauritania, Northwest Africa. The Richat Structure is elliptical dome with a diameter of 40 kilometres The interior of the structure are a variety of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.

The Mystery behind this Eye is not yet resolved ,there are many rumors as alien spaceship landed on the same place or its a Natural disaster.


                              

The Structure can be seen from the space but not many will spend so much ,right? so Mauritania has made available Airplane Rides, Hot air balloons to give tourist a bird's eye view .

Watching Richat structure,a Bollywood song pops up in the  mind "Blue eyes Hypnotize" by Honey singh ,I wonder is he really inspired by this place? .....(just kidding)
