Who said they did (other than Washington Irving, which got reproduced
in millions of textbooks for a century and a half)? We have zero
evidence that people of that time believed that the Earth was flat.
This lack of evidence disturbs people like Dave Tholan, but that's his
problem.

Do you understand my point? The argument Columbus made was over the
circumference. The Inquisition, and rightly so, questioned his
calculations. Read up on it all here and you might understand better.

Fascinating! Thanks for the teaching!

Plus, I never knew our American Indians were called 'Indians'
because Christopher Columbus thought he had landed on India!

Indian...feather or dot?



We're all here to learn from each other. At least most of us are.
