Typically, deserts are known as desolate wastelands, however, even though they may appear
barren on the outside, we are quickly learning there could be a lot hidden inside.
In terms of overall desert area, the Sahara is the third largest desert in the world after the cold
deserts of Antarctica and the Arctic. Scientists have been trying to map and explore the vast
region for ages, and they may have now made lots of terrifying discoveries, some of which
predate the beginning of life on Earth! So stay tuned as we explore all the fascinating secrets found in the sand world!

Approximately the size of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, and occupying
roughly a third of the African continent, the Sahara is home to numerous plant and animal
species despite its severe, desert environment. Already, this gives the impression of a terrifyingly bleak place, but the findings that have been made are what is truly horrifying.

During the Gemini 4 Space Mission, Two American astronauts, McDivitt and White, made the
unexpected discovery known as Richat's Structure or Guelb Er Richat in the Sahara. Shaped like a gigantic bullseye rock structure, the formation spans a desert area in the country of Mauritania that is 40 kilometers wide!

Following the publication of the first research on the location, some tourists and other visitors
who were able to discover the stone circles started vandalizing and shifting some of the stones,
eventually disrupting the alignment. Before that, the area had lain abandoned for more than
5,000 years. Tourists can now observe the ancient structure from a safe distance at the Nubian Museum in Aswan, Egypt, and see the stones in their original arrangement!
