What were the old ideas of the earth and space?
It really depends on which culture/civilization you want to explore. I will give you one example: the Greeks, having been one of the most advanced civilizations of their time, believed that the sky was held up by the god Atlas. Atlas held the sky above earth, so as not to crash. The earth itself was believed to be held up by a long chain of turtles. Space (AKA the heavens) was believed to be the home of the gods. In old Greek plays, there is a term that describes the gods descending from the heavens in a chariot. This term is "deus ex machina" -- god of the machine. There is also much debate about the heavens and Earth in various articles published by philosophers such as Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato.
