Otto von Guericke used a water pump that he modified in order to pump the air out of two brass hemispheres that were joined together as a sphere. Then, in a famous demonstration, he used two teams of horses to try and pull the two hemispheres apart but they could not. He explained it was the pressure of the atmosphere that was holding the two halves together and that a vacuum could exist on earth.
