| Parokki said: I'll stay out of the religion bashing just this once, but will take this chance to remind people that nobody actually thought the world was flat during the Middle Ages. It's a myth that started during the Enlightment to highlight how much smarter people where than before, and has lived until today because well... I'm sure we all know how fun it's to laugh at our fore-fathers because they didn't know all the "really basic and obvious" stuff we were taught at school. Wikipedia says so, so it must be true! =P |
Yes, most places believed the world was round as they had entire maps of the earth well before anyone thought. Hell there is a map of Antartica as to what it actually looks like under ice that's been available for 700+ years. It was only confirmed within the last 20-30 years that the map is in fact the real deal and it actually was drawn extremely accurate. However there were religious sects which did the writing of history and as such they wrote whatever the heck they wanted and thus our history has a lot of falsehoods written about it. Remember, at the time... the only people who knew how to write were religious people and well to do families.
The world is flat was pushed by certain religious groups at the time but was widely known to be false by many different people and people's living throughout the world.
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
