IDK man if water flooded that shit and washed out everything to sea in addition to 10000 years passing who knows what's there.
This is the Cothon of Carthage. The bottom image is from the past decade or so. 2300 years ago this was heart of the second mightiest military force in the entire world. People have lived here continuously for that entire period and look at the degradation of it. Now add on another 10000 years and have the entire region depopulated, what do you think it would look like then?
It's just wild to think what may be out there with more modern civilization just built on top of it. Or wasting away under a mountain of sand, or underwater. Etc.

Yes. Because the richat struture is a peak. People think it's Atlantis because of the circles being some sort of navigable waterway as per Plato's description. Mountaintops don't have navigable waterways.

Plato describes Atlantis still existing around 9000 BC
At the Richat structure they are able to find artifacts there that are much older than that, these are the stone tools from hundreds of thousands of years ago that were made at Richat due to the exposed quartz outcroppings.
Assuming this giant flood came through Richat (which it very well may have) it would have to be one magical flood that swept away every trace of Atlantean culture, leaving not a single Atlantean artifact, yet leaving around thousands of prehistoric artifacts at Richat that would predate Atlantis. It's logically impossible.

How much earth was scraped away from the flooding? How much harder can you make my erection today?

Never mentioned the Richat Structure in that post?... Historians have also found documents that predate Plato's descriptions if we're going to go along with the fantastical theory that Plato's Atlantis truly did exist.
"sigh."

any significant artifacts on the surface would have been scoured in the flood. smaller stuff may have been picked by looters after the fact and anything buried deeper may have remained untouched.

Yup, whatever caused that flood had to have been extremely volatile.

Maybe just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, but what about a meteor / comet impact deep in the north/south in the thick ice shelf that existed prior to the Younger Dryas?

With how thick the ice sheet was in some places it might have not even left much of an impact crater.

That Ancient Architects guy is really an autist of the highest order. Seems he spends an inordinate amount of time hunting down historical accounts of travel to the Pyramids and shit so he can cross reference them with modern more well known accounts and try to understand differences/new findings. This goes way beyond looking up 19th century stuff at universities, like looking for private accounts of aristocrats (as keeping personal diaries was a very big habit back then) because he found something that mentioned they were in the region at some point in time. Then actually finding them, getting copies and parsing through all of it.
It's impressive lol.
