Prove it, prove it, prove it! Cries the globalist who spends all his time on a website that apparently has absolutely no proof to back it up...?
I have been mainly asking you for even evidence, which you, yourself will not give!
And you Flat Earthers are the interlopers! The earth has been taken to be a Globe for some 2300 years!
Why was the Earth thought to be flat in the first place?
Whats that old saying, your first thought is usually the right one?
Sometimes "your first thought" might be "the right one", but when new information comes along, it is sometimes necessary to revise those early ideas.
The earth was thought flat at first because over a limited region there is little difference between being flat or a Globe.
The Babylonian Empire was small enough to be considered flat:
The region occupied by the Babylonians was comparatively small, so they had not much reason to think differently.
There is, however, a massive difference between their flat earth and the modern one.
The Babylonians observed that the sun, along with the other celestial bodies, appeared to rise from being the horizon, travel up over the sky and then appear to set behind the horizon.
In their case they surmised that the sun resided in the
underworld at night, rose in the east from there and set back into the underworld over in the west in the evening.
And their planets and stars were on a "celestial sphere" that rotated east to west about the earth. I only have a diagram with a Globe, but this might give you the idea.
Imagine that globe at the centre a small flat region of the earth.
The Babylonians had no reason think that theirs was the only region of the earth, but if they did not travel much would not realise that things might change if they moved thousands of miles.
This Babylonian Cosmology explained:
the appearance of sunrise/sunrise quite well - it rose from and set into the "underworld" - below the horizon and
the motion of the planets and stars reasonably well, at least to with the accuracy of their own observations.
And this explains how the Babylonians had such a good grasp of Astronomy.
But, simply extending this "model" to the whole presently known earth is simply not possible.
For a start we know that day and night hours change as we move around the earth, but that model would make day and night the same everywhere.
Then, as more started questioning the issue, it was noticed that different constellation's appeared when moving north or south ete, etc.
And we get into the period where the Greeks and Egyptians started questioning the idea of a flat earth, and the rest, as they say is history.
So, when the "modern flat earth movement" sprang up in the 1800's they could not resurrect the old Babylonian Cosmology (which worked moderately well).
What they did was to opt for sun, moon, planets and stars circling above the earth, and that is one big undoing of the present flat earth ideas.
To explain day and night cycles the sun and hence moon and planets have to be close (about 3,000 miles) leading to so many of the observed problems.
But, that is another story.
Those Babylonians, with their (locally) flat earth, underworld for the sun and celestial sphere fitted astronomical observations quite well and they became quite advanced astronomers, considering their lack of any modern instruments.
But the present Flat Earth Societies shun Astronomy like the plague and struggle to explain the movement of all the celestial objects that we so easily observe!
