That's a lot like asking "How was the top of this rock found ?"

The equator is a definition. It's the location of all the points on Earth that are at equal

distances from the north and south poles. Once somebody has defined the poles for you,

you can find the points that are at equal distances from the poles, and if you find

enough of them, bada-bing, the equator appears.

Just like the equator, the top of the rock was there all the time, but nobody knew it. It

needed somebody to come along and say "Let's find a place on the rock that's higher than

any other place on the rock, and let's call that place the 'top' ." As soon as people agreed

on what "top" means, they discovered the top.
