Fun fact : Sailors in ancient greece already knew the earth was sphere like, because they could only see the upper part of faraway boat's sail.

edit : paint level over 9000

Actually, the Mayans were the first to discovered the earth was round. The figured the shadow cast over the earth by the Sun made the earth curve around. They also were the first to discover that the earth gravitated around the sun. But because we live in a Euro-western dominated society, books will not acknowledge the Mayan as an advance culture that discovered things before most European scientists. Btw, if indigenous population were savages, where did the corn come from? Corn is the only produce that cannot grow by itself so, was it created by the American people back then?
