Eet it luk phlat to me from here. Just be hang'n under da carrot top. Wut do you tink?

The idea of a spherical Earth appeared in ancient Greek philosophy with Pythagoras (6th century BC). However, most pre-Socratics (6th–5th century BC) retained the flat-Earth model. In the early 4th century BC, Plato wrote about a spherical Earth. By about 330 BC, his former student Aristotle had provided strong empirical evidence for a spherical Earth. Knowledge of the Earth's global shape gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world. By the early period of the Christian Church, the spherical view was widely held, with some notable exceptions. In contrast, ancient Chinese scholars consistently describe the Earth as flat, and this perception remained unchanged until their encounters with Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century. Traditionalist Muslim scholars have maintained that the earth is flat, though, since the 9th century, Muslim scholars tended to believe in a spherical Earth.

The origin of the Spherical earth is not "scientific" it was religious. The early Greeks believed that the gods were interdenominational beings, one of which birthed this universe illegitimately but it was just a chaotic stillborn blob, but one "god" had pity on it, made a workman to fix it up, made a bunch of people. The universe was believed to be a spherical egg shape, with the earth in the center. It was assumed that with a spherical universe, the earth in the center must also be spherical. But they downplayed that idea since it was mocked by early Jews, Christians and later Muslims (ha ha people living on a ball) - but Hellenistic / Gnostic philosophy was eventually melded into the Christian Church and it became generally accepted by people of the Abraham religions. The story became more complicated when the heliocentric model was introduced and instead of an "egg" universe, it became described as an infinite universe with no boundries. Instead of the cosmos circling the earth, the new model had the earth spinning and wobbling like a top. This is the model that is taught today in our schools to our children, along with all the planets who are named after Pagan deities and their chief diety "Helios" at the center of our solar system. It's not scientific, but religious... but it's dressed up in psuedo-science and these days it's "ha ha people living on a dinner plate!"

Enclosed realm, we're living in a box, with the maker of the box on the second story.

MMmm dinner plate..

Yes, thank you fer sharing. Hab studies much of dis' stuff and werds go back to various origins including dat of Greek and religions. Right and Trinity from da cross is Pagan too..

We all kan learn so much moar in life. :)

Well, I've come to realize that we've been lied to about just about everything, so we're all still figuring out what is actually true. I would, however, like someone to explain how the flat-earth model fits in with the organizing torsion fields, which manifest all form. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Oh, gud one!

I'm glad that you appreciate it. I've found it quite useful! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
