Didn't Eratosthenes prove the curvature of the Earth like in 200BC too? You can do the entire experiment just using shadows IIRC, it's hilarious that flat earthers are building rockets

What's IIRC?
Apparently there's an entire topic on Erastosthenes:
Curvature Measured in 200BC.

I love non-political conspiracy theories and contrarian ideas, but not when easily dispelled with math and logic. The only evidence cited is usually bible verses or optical illusions

"If I recall correctly." I studied astrophysics in college, I'm not really able to entertain the idea of a flat planet, it just isn't possible. There's lots of math/evidence against it
