A lot of them haven't. The ancient Greeks knew that the world was not flat, they didn't all believe it was round, some thought it a kind of circular spiral, but that knowledge was lost during the Dark Ages. By 1500, many educated people believed that the world was round, but it was not until the 1800's that that knowledge became widespread. this is mainly due to people who went against the beliefs of the time, generally got themselves killed. It is possible that the ancient Hebrews always knew that the world was round: Isaiah 40:22 says "he sits enthroned above the circle of the earth"
Yes they believed this because when you look at the Fields they look flat not like they dip as if the world was round hope this helps
Nothing. Some one was bound to at some point.
false
because they thought that if a boat went across the water or out of sight they went of the end of the earth there was no proof of the earth being round in ancient times..
People have known the Earth is not flat since ancient times.
flat world is what the dumb people use to think a long time ago
Because they think if it wasn't you would fall off.
people had thought the world was flat because they didn't know unlike now they didn't have photos from space, airplanes to travel around the world or enough scientific research on it. some people still thing the world is flat and that some places on the world are myths including pictures from space, they believe that no one has ever really been to space and its a complete lie. these people are called the flat world group.
Yes because they are wierdos an dnobody cares about them but their parnets
well the world never was flat (from what I know, haha) it was simply a myth, that people believed before anyone actuall sailed around the world. I think that's right anyway, haha.
no, it was only belived to be. people used to think if you went to the edge of the world you would fall off.
If all that you have to go on is what you see for yourself, from ground level, then the world does look flat.
I don't think so but I think that the rob TV is a flat screen.
mmm
first: the imagined the world was flat Second: they would get on the highest elevation in the city and draw
Flat earth believers are almost exclusively motivated by religion or by conspiracy theory beliefs.
I guess you didn't read the book only the title. He doesn't think the world is flat ( as in the shape of the world). His thesis is that the world is flattened because of the computer and new technology. He states that a person can sit in a cave in the outer regions of the world and have people do political acts. This has never happened in the history of the world. Before it took a nation to attack people and to wage war and now individuals can do what nations use to do. Thus, the world is flattened.
