it might have been Galileo or early bright minds. No one can tell what the mind is thinking. Someone might have had a suspicion and not have voiced their opinion. __________________________ Greek and Egyptian scientists have known that the Earth was round for over 2300 years. We do not know who first realized this, but every harbormaster or astronomer knows it. Aristarchus of Samos wrote about it, and Egyptian scientists had figured out the SIZE of the round Earth with remarkable precision, given that it was calculated 2200 years ago!

Be very careful distinguishing between considering the concept and deriving a proof; many early philosophers considered the concept, but only Aristarchus and Eratosthenes are capable of offering proof.
