1. NOT ALL MEDIEVAL PERSONS BELIEVED THAT THE EARTH'S SHAPE WAS "FLAT", AND NOT ALL MEDIEVAL PERSONS BELIEVED THAT THE EARTH'S SHAPE WAS "SPHERICAL" —JUST LIKE NOW, THERE WERE DIFFERENT MODELS.

2. THOSE ARTIFACTS WERE NOT SYMBOLIC OF THE PLANET, BUT OF SOFIA.

The pagan globe predate Jesus. (Just like Easter)
The Christian "GOD" didn't know the Earth is spherical.

Not only did the ancient Greeks figure out earth was round, but using basic maths and different shadow angles in different cities during the same day, they calculated the circumference of the Earth and were only off by 10%.

During a small period in the middle-ages, while Europe political and intellectual infrastructure was in decline, some retarded priests said the world was flat. However this was corrected rather quickly. And by Christopher Columbus' day, everyone knew the earth was round. The reason why people doubted Columbus is because scholars at the time thought he was miscalculating the size of the earth. They were right, They thought Columbus calculation made the earth was smaller than it was.

tl;dr flat earth is anti-christard "Spooky Dark Age" propaganda

If you read (and believe) the Christian Bible, you should believe the earth is flat.
>>
The Chinese believed the earth was flat until the 17th century.
>>
>>888343
How did they do that?
>>
>>890384
By measuring the angle the sun made with a stick on the same day at two different latitudes.
They had to rely on the stars to tell true north and true south, accounting for the enormous error.

Not only flat. But it was forever.
>>
>the world is not flat!
>it's a ball, trust me!

When will this meme end?

Eric Dubay and Rob Skiba debunked the heliocentric model.

The Earth is flat and motionless.
The sun and moon revolve around us.
We are inside a giant terrarium with a dome.

No curvature.

3:05 sun is much smaller and closer than we are told. Look at the hotspot right underneath.

>it was forever.

Are you illiterate, buddy? "Forever" is a word denoting timeness, not spaceness. What you mean is "infinite".

They didn't, jackass

fuck off with this nonsense, looking straight ahead you can't see any curve. They didn't even have Google maps back then so how would they have known that the world wasn't flat, pinhead?

Why would they have cared in the first place? They have more important things to worry about. Educated men still knew the world was round, does the opinion of shit covered peasants trump theirs?

You are the most autistic tripfag I've ever seen, even more so than Barneyfag. Congratulations, faggot.

no, because you are peddling revisionist history, they did NOT know that the world was round and that's the end of that

He's extremely annoying, constantly types in all uppercase letters, and is always contrarian and condescending to everyone and everything. Also, his points don't make sense half of the time.

Every time I think you're gone, no matter what board, or even what website I go to, somehow you manage to show up there. It's more impressive than anything else, really.
