I am sorry I can't remember the exact locations for this answer, but this is what I do recall.
There is a well in Egypt that on one day a year the light from the sun goes straight to the bottom at midday. Knowing that the sun was directly overhead at a given time was a certain piece of the formula.
At the same time, at a measured distance from the well the shadow of an obelisk was measured. This measurement will give you an angle that can be used to calculate the radius of a circle.

The first people to calculate the size of the Earth and the Earth-Moon distance were the ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer, Eratosthenes, and the ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparchus.

The diameter of the Earth is approximately 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles). This measurement can be calculated by taking the average of the Earth's polar and equatorial diameters. The equatorial diameter is about 12,756 kilometers (7,926 miles) and the polar diameter is about 12,714 kilometers (7,900 miles).

Yes, Eratosthenes estimated the Earth's diameter using the angle of the sun's rays at two different locations on the same day. By measuring the difference in the angles, he was able to calculate the Earth's circumference and thus its diameter.
there would be no Egyptians left on earth because they would all die without water.
Yes, ancient Egyptians believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, moon, and stars revolved around it. This geocentric view of the universe was common in many ancient civilizations before the heliocentric model was accepted.
