There is a common misconception that historical figures like Christopher Columbus believed the Earth was flat. In reality, most educated people in Columbus's time knew that the Earth was round. The idea that Columbus was trying to prove the Earth's roundness is more of a myth.
Columbus never believed the earth was square, in fact, the myth was that he believed the earth was flat. However, in truth, Columbus did not believe the earth was flat. Ancient Greek mathematicians, Pythagoras and Aristotle, proved the earth was spherical in shape based on the shadow of the earth on the moon and the curvature of the earth when approaching land. Columbus falsely believed he could reach Asia by going west because he underestimated the circumference of the earth, and also believed Europe was wider than it was.

No, most educated people in Columbus's time did not believe the Earth was flat. By the 15th century, ancient Greek scholars had already proven that the Earth was a sphere. Columbus's challenge was not convincing people the Earth was round, but rather estimating its size and the distance to Asia.
Yes.
Scientists of Hellenistic times believed the Earth was the center of the universe and that celestial bodies moved around it in perfect circular motion. In Columbus's time, scientists began to challenge this geocentric view, with Copernicus proposing a heliocentric model where the Earth orbits the Sun. This shift in thinking laid the foundation for the scientific revolution that followed.
