FES doesn't want to know the shape of the Earth

Can't get a digital photo and throw it on your PC that way?

Actually yeah, I'll try and do this tonight. The only thing is that the images in the book are on 'shiny' paper, so it might be difficult to get a decent photo at night. In any event, I'll take a snap and post it this evening.

There's this thing called a light.  Turn it on before you take your picture.  If you own a computer and a scanner, I'm pretty sure you can afford lights.

The UZS proved that Africa was wider than it was long, in contradiction to popular theory.

The UZS had vastly more resources than us, being composed of Victorian Era industry titans and doctors. Without such resources I don't expect this internet-based Flat Earth Society to get much done.

Any reason they stopped there and didn't continue?

How the fuck is that map representative of the entire world? It shows shit all.

Excuse my french but seriously, don't tell us there is an accurate flat earth map and go posting pictures of a hand-drawn-half-of-Africa and western Europe. Piss poor effort.

Not really. It doesn't help anyone's cause at all. Except prove that they were lazy and poor [for the task they committed to].

It's funny how people collectively believed the RET almost as soon as it was put out there, and yet it is so difficult to get lots of people to catch on to the FET again. It gives me hope for the species that the majority seem to have some sort of common sense.

I live in Britain and I can guarantee you it is not that shape.

It doesn't claim to be a complete map. Wilmore was showing that at some point a group of flat earthers had the resources to try making an appropriate map. Even at that time they were unable to complete it, he might claim that it would be unreasonable to expect them to do so now. However, it is significant that the FES of that time ignored the southern hemisphere (perhaps for financial reasons), which is where all FET representation have trouble.
The completeness of the mas was clearly stated earlier in the thread. Don't get so mad at Wilmore, at least he actually produced some kind of evidence.

Where's the Ice Wall?

Well the 'equator' runs through the middle of Africa, so the majority of what they mapped is in the outer hemiplane (or 'southern hemisphere').

Where is their evidence that the lines of longitude diverge to that extent as you travel south? Given that they haven't got a map that goes all the way round, it must not be possible for them to know what percentage of the entire earth a division of longitude represents, and therefore they cannot assign a correct divergement of these lines.

If you're interested in the map and its background, order a copy of the book. Wilmore may scan a copy of the map to put online, but its background will be absent unless the book is read.

May i just remind the group that i began saving up to send Lord Wilmore on Bransons Rocket about 18 months ago (any dontation is greatly aprreciated) Only then shall we (when i say we I mean to people who think that the earth is flat even though it clearly isn't) know the truth.
