Pythagoras, around 500 BC proposed that the earth was round, but it was of aesthetic and mystical reasons. So the first discovered person should be an anonymous Persian or Babylonian around 3,000 years ago.
Ferdinand Magellan was the first person to lead an expedition that circumnavigated the Earth, providing evidence that it was a sphere. Magellan's expedition departed in 1519 and was completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano in 1522.
The Greek scientist who is credited with demonstrating that the Earth is round was Pythagoras. He believed that the Earth was a sphere based on observations of the shapes of celestial bodies like the moon during lunar eclipses.
Humans first realized that the Earth is round through observations of the changing positions of celestial objects in the sky and by observing the curved shape of the Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse. Ancient Greek philosophers, such as Pythagoras and Aristotle, also provided theoretical explanations for a round Earth based on their observations and mathematical reasoning.
The ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras is often credited with being one of the first to propose that the Earth was round in the 6th century BC. However, the idea of a spherical Earth was further popularized by the philosopher Plato and astronomer Aristotle.
Evidence that supports the spherical shape of the Earth includes photos of Earth from space, the way ships disappear hull first over the horizon, the curvature seen at high altitudes, and the way constellations change as you travel north or south. These, along with other scientific measurements and experiments, have all contributed to confirming the Earth's round shape.
Galileo
Nigeria did not pass the first round in the world cup.
Yes he was the one that said the Earth was round, and first recorded instrument errors in the burmuta triangle. He also was the first recorded visit to America.
The Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan and the Spanish fleet, proved the world was round. They were the first to circumnavigate around the world and complete the first voyage around the world.
They were knocked out in the first round.

If the astronomer Galileo was born before vascodagama, then he is the first one who would have said it. Maybe vascodagama sailed, but I believe it is Galileo
Well Answer shouldn't be searched online, it should be direct from heart and can be anything, well if my girlfriend would have said so, i would have said to her that " i haven't seen the world yet, will you go with me to actually see if its really round or just our imagination"
