Yeah, and for a while history said that mideviel people thought the earth was flat too.
They didn't. Pythagoras wasn't the first who thought the world was round... he was the first to PROVE it via math.
Anyone with the logical processes of a 10 year old would know, by looking at ships go over the horizon that the world wasn't flat.
I've also read both of the things you've suggested I should read before. I'm actually VERY good when it comes to history. You're confusing the figurative with the literal.
