RE: Round earth theory vs flat earth theory

in #flatearth7 years ago (edited)

and people once believed the Earth was flat

Actually, it's a myth that we've only recently discovered the earth is round. According to Wikipedia, the round earth has been the prevailing theory for centuries ... though, for ordinary plebs living in the pre-telecommunication era and in one place all their life and never doing any sailing nor significant travelling I suppose the flat earth point of view was easier to accept than the round earth point of view.
