Yeah, it is really weird how popular the myth is that medieval scholars thought the world was flat. I recall reading something from St. Thomas Aquinas's work and it made some comment about the world being round as a matter of fact. The real questions were: How big is the Earth? How much of what is unknown is water? How much of what is unknown is land? And can we safely sail around it?
And even then a lot of the estimates were really close.
People like to think themselves as better and more enlightened than those that came before them.
Yeah, an awful lot of people seem to think medieval people were dumb and sailors like Columbus were the only big brain bois that knew the earth was round, while in reality the nature of Columbus audiences with queen Isabela were not to debate about the shape of the earth but rather it’s size… she was right, the planet was way bigger that Columbus though and he would have starved to death in the voyage to Asia if it were not for a new continent in the way
ive read that columbuses voyage was initially denied because he thought that india would be where america is today,which was obviously false.
We knew exactly how large the earth was, Columbus was an idiot and got the math wrong. He thought the earth was allot smaller thus China wouldn't be too far away.
@@EllRiver That's also a common misconception. He used the generally accepted size at the time. He thought Asia was much bigger.
I feel like people get "everyone in 1500 thought the world was flat except Columbus" mixed up with "everyone in 1500 thought the sun orbited the earth except for Copernicus"
um akshully, the sun does orbit the Earth in the same way the Earth can be said to orbit the sun, it's just that the sun is significantly more massive so that the barycenter they are both orbiting is a great distance inside the sun producing an incredibly slight wobble that's so small as to be insignificant aside from for the purposes physics.
@@CraftsmanOfAwsomenes That's a minor gravitatory influence, the sun is not orbiting the earth, it's just being influenced by it, in the same way it's being influenced by the other planets, but your comment still makes sense
@@anonymousmyvern8927 no he's right. Sphere of influence is an area around any celestial object where its gravitational force is significant compared to any other gravitational force. SOI does affect orbits of satellites but in the case of just the sun and earth orbiting each other, it has no meaning.
@@GoodwinGhost You're right, i'm going to research about outer gravitatory influence and how it is called, thanks for pointing out.
Even the latter statement isn’t correct, it’s more likely just the every day person didn’t care as even the most intelligent of the church were asking question like “is there a good reason to think anything is the center of the universe”
I'm loving these shorts!
Yooo verified person.
Woah, now I wonder if the pokemon world is round too
Globebusters did a pretty good job of proving earth is a rotating sphere....................
Same as Bob and Jeran.
This was hilarious to see in their "documentary".
Cheers from France! 🍻
@@DarthWinterMadness Thanks Bob.
@@A15degreeperhourdrift 😂😂😂
I've seen you comment on other videos, love you username mate!
Cheers from France! 👍🍻🤘
We all know what side Paradox comes down on- every game has a flat map 🤔
Well according to Stellaris Earth is round, I think they’re trying to play both sides
@@unspeakable6661 Round Earth, but a flat universe? It goes deeper than we thought
@@JustGeridan Universe is every direction, galaxies are flat
@@baianomgtow9841 We're talking about Stellaris you goof. Obviously the universe extends in all directions
The issue with the argument in the original comment is that flat maps are easier to represent in games.
Wait, you are telling me the Earth isn't the shape of Donut? I refuse to believe this
"Flat earth scholars" is a tad oxymoronic
I dare you to go to their discord and argue with them they will destroy you with real science
@@SJ-xb7lg real science which has been butchered into their narrative to the point where it doesn't even make sense.
@@SJ-xb7lg Nope. Just nope.
They only "destroy" with "experience", the experience of throwing bullsh*t at you until you're exhausted to fight back.
That's not a debate or an argument.
The earth isn't flat and I don't understand how the conversation is still open in 2022.
We have enough instruments available to the layman that almost anyone can demonstrate to themselves that the earth is not flat.
If by any chance in the 6 months since that comment you stopped believing in flat earth, good on you.
If not... Well that sucks.
In any ways, cheers from France! 🍻
"moronic" shall cut it
It was clear Earth was a globe, but unsure wether Earth was the center of the universe or not
Earth? You guys still believe that flying wet rock exist?
and get this , some people believe that there is a ball of flams giving the earth it’s light, the call it “the sun”
@@Me-xz7ij unbelievable, and they even believe there is this big white dusty ball rotating "the earth" called "the moon"
And they even say its made out of cheese!
pythagoras: and thus i have proven that the earth is round, I wonder what great thinkers will the future bring, surely their knowledge will tower over those who live in my time
*2600 years later*
tHe eaRth iS fLAt *puts tinfoil hat on*
I love how CZcams links the flat earth wiki page
The Varaha sculptures dating back to 2000 BCE depict a round sphere (Earth) on the Dantes (tusks) of varaha
?
Can u provide me info on the sculptures
Cz i find no old sculptures with earth on tusks of varaha
Instead there is a human
The human is bhudevi and if you go to Tirumala you can find Varaha sculpture with a round sphere namely earth on the pillar to the right of the dwajasthambam
Ancient scientists were so ahead of their time
The Greeks proved the earth was round before the conquests of Alexander. 2,300+ years ago
The ancient Africans knew the earth was round....so did the ancient Egyptians....
After the Titans lost the war against the Olympians, Atlas was punished to carry the sky on his shoulder which was round…ergo, the Hellens knew long before Pythagoras that earth is round
Love your content
Fun fact Columbus thought the world was actually pear shaped and much smaller then it actually is.
The world was actually a pear
That's why the church was against him, they knew his ship wouldn't be enough to reach all the way to china.
Great debate. Lmao 🤣
In the Hindu culture they knew it was round.
actually greeks knew that earth was round based on watching the ships sailing from harbours they noticed that the lower part of the ship disappeared while sailinig away that meant that the ships were going along a curve and not a flatline. Also most of cultured people in medieval age know that as well and church wasn't bitter about it. This whole myth was along with others spread by illuminist hystorian who wanted to shit on previous scholar.
Proud to be from the first anti flat earth nation 🇬🇷😎
What is the music in the video? I love it and I've always wanted to add it to my history music playlist since I think it fits perfectly.
Hang on lets recap that last bit "Flat Earth Experts" lmao ok
We all stood in a straight line across the world and noticed we were titled
If only it was pear shaped, as Columbus thought it was. Then the conspiracy theorists would say it wasn't flat but shaped like a banana.
Colombus was right about the pear thing
Geography in Sanskrit literally says bhugoal '(bhu' means earth and 'goal' means round
Sanatan supremacy ❤
Historians and mathematicians: Those info are commom sense for us
Can someone pls tell me the name of the background music plz
Even today many people believe earth is flat😂😂
I did it in a youtube comment section once and got assaulted by 7 different people
"Flat earth experts" lol
*I'm sure the comments will be fine.*
That's dope
There are several ancient Indian texts stating earth is round
Not before ancient Greeks
Also was Charlemagne's Globus Crown Jewels, which depicts a cross over a globe to illustrate God's supremacy
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
Im really getting board with space right now
Flat earthers be like: bro, earth is actually flat not round, why are you really believe that the earth is round?
Then prove it on my reply
Just because the land looks flat, it doesn't mean its flat
HURRY UP. PROVE IT
Damn I thought you only play EU4
some people reached the south pole
“Flat earth scholars said ‘nah’ so now we’re here I guess”
Columbus actually thought that the earth was pear shaped
The Greeks where the we know of but they knew before Greece ever existed and knew of lands around the planet like South America and Antarctica
if the eart ih roun. how come the ball ain’t going nowhere
When did humans prove the Earth was round? Never, it's a frisbee that aliens throw around the sun for fun.
As if the satellites are fake. We literally have satellite images of the earth
And yet those images are in 2D *cue X-files music
oooh, but its aaallll a government conspiracy because we aaalll know how much that would benefit the government. (To anyone who can't tell that was HEAVILY sarcastic)
@@thaumar64 ahh crap that really got me, I guess I have to believe you.
I was expecting Indians to boast about aryabhatta😂😂
Who the fuck thinks that ? The size of the planet was even calculated during the antiquity.
But Hindus don't because Hindus geography name is (bhugol) bhu means :- earth , gol means :- round
That proves wart is round .
One thing also our varah statue carry earth on his nose to save from devil's , in that statue the earth is round also. And hinduism is the sanatan means :- from the beginning.
How can there be any debate at all in this day today about the shape of the earth 😂
Because there are many, many idiots out there...
The first to find the Americas were the Americans. (The native Americans and not the English and Spanish fake Americans.)
And in antiquity many civilisations around the world knew the world was round.
The theory of the round earth most likely developed in different time periods with different methods independently.
Greece first colombus second 🇬🇷
Check out Aristarchus of Samos
Columbus thought the Earth was pear-shaped not round
Thank you big brother CZcams telling me about flat earth even though the video is literally about that.
If “flat earth theory” ever gets mentioned in a video they automatically tag the video with that link. There was a point where flat earth was exploding on CZcams and it got to be a pretty bad look for them so they had to put disclaimers on those 😂
Wouldn't this test be inaccurate if the 2 points were measured during different seasons of the year??? 🤔
Unless you picked the equinoxes... why?
The summer solstice was the date picked, and Cyene was picked for the same reason... Cyene was on the Tropic of Cancer... so on the summer solstice, the sun was directly overhead. This happened every year cos the Summer Solstice is an annual event, obviously. So, the angle of the shadow from the Obelisk in Alexandria on the summer solstice gave an accurate measurement of the difference in latitude between the two places.
1,000 miles at the equator. 😆
Greek is a round religion 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Greeks would also come very close to the accurate distance from the earth to the moon as well. You think maybe we could just not acknowledge flat earthers in all of these videos? They get far too much attention as it is.
flat earth """""""""experts""""""""
Because people knew that the earth was round they estimated the time to travel from Europe to India and stated that the travel would be nearly impossible given the technology and the number of provisions needed, however, nobody expected the Spanish inquisition. And some land in the way.
Flat earth "Experts"
Ever heard about aryabhatta?
This is extremely wrong
I thinked it was thales
0:25
you mean Eratosthenes (whose name is not pronounced quite like that) but yea the rest of this is right
The earth is flat.
So when did this flat - earther came from
I think it first started in 1800 when someone wrote a book about it , but no one gave a shit at that time .
the flat earth society started in 1956 , but no one gave a shit.
I think it started being a thing around 2015
@@Me-xz7ij still, no one gives a shit
What you're saying is a philosophical guess from them, I'll tell you something interesting and sorry for the length in advance 😅, It is noticeable that most of the names of the stars are Arabic, that the numbers used by the West are Arabic, and that the science of algebra and algorithms was established by Muslim scholars. This was at the height of Islamic civilization 700 years ago. All this stopped, and a small incubator for science remained in Andalusia, and from there the science moved to Europe, and then the scientific giving to this nation completely ended! The Renaissance began in Europe.
Muslims knew scientifically that the earth is a ball. Ahmed bin Omar, Abu Ali Ibn Rustah, who died approximately in the year 300 AH (912 AD), that is, 700 years before Galileo, wrote that the earth is spherical divided into 360 degrees, and there is the equator, and he determined the orbits of Cancer and Capricorn and their inclination from the line Equanimity is 24 degrees. He wrote that the day is divided into 24 hours, Al-Razi said 606 AH (700 years ago) in his book Tafsir Keys of the Unseen - The Great Interpretation: “The engineering evidence has indicated that the earth is a sphere, so it was at the beginning of its occurrence if we said that it was a sphere and now it remains a sphere as well…” and they divided it into lines of longitude and latitude because the device The astrolabe is determined that the Earth is a sphere with the equator and the orbits of Cancer and Capricorn. Muslims used it as a navigation device and a tool for determining the direction of the Qiblah. This was 400 years before Galileo. Al-Razi also said: “The days may have equal amounts, like the days in the places of the equator, and they may be different, like the days in other places…”
in the event of a lunar eclipse; It is a phenomenon that occurs when the location of the earth is along a straight line between the sun and the moon, and the moon becomes a display screen for the shadow or shadow of the earth as shown in the phases of the eclipse. If this shadow is straight, then this means that the earth is straight, square, or rectangular. Arc like the crescent, the Earth is not square or rectangular ..... This is from old books
Flat earth ‘experts’
They should teach he sold or dabbled in protituting 9 ur old girls because it was BIG business,how can someone be expert in flat dearth? And its ERA TOST A NISE I Know it's spelt wrong but I just him to say it correctly.And the dogons or Sumerians more than likely knew it's shape because of the precession of the equinoxes. And Sellar position.
Many flat earth experts? People who think the earth is flat arent experts
Bce?
Some one didn’t know what that is 🙂
"Flat Earth Experts" lol
Are we talking about the same Eratosthenes that didn’t exist until Carl Sagan?
Columbus believed the Earth was pear-shaped…
It has never been proven to be round
If the earth is round and rotating while orbiting around the sun, then why do we see the same stars in the sky every night?
Why wouldn't we? The stars we see appear in different places in the sky depending on its position in its rotation and orbit
the stars don’t blip out of existence until millions of years from now, why wouldn’t we see the same stars? they also are in different angles in different parts of the year because the earth rotates and orbits
If we are seeing the same stars then the earth isn't moving, the sky is.
@@ErikHansen911 what, how would the sky move, that doesn’t make sense
@@ErikHansen911 that makes no sense...?
That's all bulshit cuz the last hundred years teachers were getting prosecuted for teaching the heliocentric model in public schools in the United States
Flatearth experts? There is no such thing, you can not be an expert in nonsense.
its crazy but the earth has been proven flat
By... who exactly?
@@AwesomEthan - by everyone who honestly looks into it. The arguments are sound & logical. The community has been able to completely refute every heliocentric mathematical model claim. Many with validated hypothesis through experimentation. This means empirical proof! Here is just one example of a group of folks known as FECore that did a laser test.
