"Nearly 60 years ago, the US Navy launched Vanguard-1 as a response to the Soviet Sputnik. Six decades on, it’s still circling our planet."

Yea that would be weird if the earth were a coin shape. wonder whats going down on the other side!

Attach your GPS enabled phone to a helium balloon and let it record the curvature of the earth.

You take a backpack and start walking in one direction, taking care of never changing direction. If you find water, just swim, still always in teh same direction. If at some point you end up in the same exactly place you started from, the earth is not flat.

Density and buoyancy.

Flat earth truth movement is getting bigger and bigger every day. Don't stay blind and indoctrinated spinning ball earth fantasy believer.

Don't stay behind, research&study flat earth.

Governments and hardcore Globe tards are mostly gay.

are you back nomad? We've missed you.

The Flat Earth model is an archaic conception of Earth's shape as a plane or disk.

Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat Earth cosmography, including Greece until the classical period,

The Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD), and China until the 17th century. That paradigm was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and the notion of a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl was common in pre-scientific societies.

The idea of a spherical Earth appeared in Greek philosophy with Pythagoras (6th century BC), although most pre-Socratics (6th – 5th century BC) retained the flat Earth model. Aristotle provided evidence for the spherical shape of the Earth on empirical grounds by around 330 BC. Knowledge of the spherical Earth gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world from then on.

in the 6th-century BC and Parmenides in the 5th-century stated that the Earth is spherical, the spherical view spread rapidly in the Greek world. Around 330 BC, Aristotle maintained on the basis of physical theory and observational evidence that the Earth was spherical, and reported on an estimate on the circumference. The Earth's circumference was first determined around 240 BC by Eratosthenes.

By the second century AD, Ptolemy had derived his maps from a globe and developed the system of latitude, longitude, and climes. His Almagest was written in Greek and only translated into Latin in the 11th century from Arabic translations.
The Terrestrial Sphere of Crates of Mallus (c. 150 BC)



In the 2nd century BC, Crates of Mallus devised a terrestrial sphere that divided the Earth into four continents, separated by great rivers or oceans, with people presumed living in each of the four regions. Opposite the oikumene, the inhabited world, were the antipodes, considered unreachable both because of an intervening torrid zone




Flat Earth map drawn by Orlando Ferguson in 1893. The map contains several references to biblical passages as well as various jabs at the "Globe Theory".

#1 - That's a fucking bowl, it's not flat; the Bible says God stretched a flat and level line across the Earth during its construction. -- Job 38:5


#2 - The Sun's rays don't hit the Earth in parallel, that's a theory breaking assumption that has to be made if one accepts Aristotle's evidence. ^{Correction that was Eratosthenes not Aristotle.}

#2 - Aristotle used the curved mirror surface of the dome and projected his observation of the stars onto the Earth, this is the same bullshit trick used today with Earth geoid mapping.
