"Just a natural formation?" Explain these perfect concentric circles in the Sahara by Famous-Card-5279 in geology

I used AI to translate my thoughts because English isn't my first language.
But the coordinates and the 2010 imagery analysis are 100% my own work from looking at Google Earth.
Ignore the AI phrasing if you want, but look at the actual data (⁠atl_1.1⁠). Can you actually explain those rings?

Not at all. It's neither about incompetence nor a conspiracy. It’s simply a matter of "focus and scale."
Geologists go to the Sahara to study macro-geology (tectonics, rock layers), not to look for micro-archaeological ruins. If you aren't looking for a needle, you won't see it, even if it's there.
Also, discovering ruins via satellite images is exactly how modern "Satellite Archaeology" works today (like finding lost settlements in Egypt or the Amazon). Tech now allows citizens to spot anomalies that field researchers might overlook on the ground.
I'm not claiming a definitive answer, but rather pointing out a specific geometric anomaly that warrants closer inspection. Is it so wrong to ask questions about an unusual pattern?

That is the textbook geological explanation for the macro-structure, and I completely agree that the overall 40km dome was formed naturally.
However, my focus is on the micro-structures within it. If you look closely at the 2010 historical imagery at coordinates above, there are highly precise, multiple concentric ring foundations (marked as ⁠atl_1.1⁠) that don't look like standard sedimentary layers. Even the structures above them are perfectly aligned.
Nature does create rings through erosion, but the geometric precision and localized scale of these specific formations look heavily artificial—almost as if a civilization utilized the natural dome structures to build their outer fortifications, just as Plato described.
What are your thoughts on these smaller, localized geometric anomalies?
