The more I dig into the history of navigation, the more puzzled I am about
the origin of the notion that the earth was (is) flat. Did anybody prior to
1800 really believe that? Is the notion a modern invention? Clearly
scholars back to at least the Greeks in 600 BC believed that the earth was
spherical.
