In the ancient world, Atlas held a globe. When did humans begin to think the earth was flat?
In ancient sculptures and drawings, the Earth was depicted as being round. Atlas has been shown that the holding of the Earth as a globe. When did "land flat "became the dominant theory?
Who knows what this or that person uneducated mind, but if you're referring to education - The leaders and the elites - the answer is simple: they do not! Hetzer could not be more wrong. His caricature of the "Dark Ages" (a term most historians have long discarded as inaccurate) is about as ignorant as he seems to think the people of those centuries were. On the contrary, there was a lot of intellectual vitality and progress in many areas - technology (many key inventions, for example, in agriculture and navigation, including who made the "age of discovery o" possible), science (the "ignorant" people-based religious the university system), economic (the beginnings of modern economic systems, business corporations, banking), and social organizations (foundations the modern legal framework and political structures at the end of the Roman system built almost entirely on slavery). As for the question, the notion that the most educated of the day Christopher Columbus thought the world is flat total nonsense - a lie propagated subsequently determined opponents religion (from Voltaire to Huxley AD White, Sagan and Dawkins). In fact, "All the educated people of Columbus Day ', including many bishops Catholic, knew the earth was round. The Venerable Bede (c. 673-735) taught that the earth was round, as did Bishop Virgil Salzburg (C. 720-784), Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) and Thomas Aquinas (c. 1224-1274). . . . . Sphere was the title of most popular book of the Middle Age on astronomy, written by the English school of Sacrobosco Jean (c. 1200-1256) "Note that the proposed travel http://www.taemag.com/issues/articleid.17713/article_detail.asp Columbus did not object because some bishops thought it "fall from the tip of the earth"! On the contrary, they believed that the world was much bigger than him his calculations (and incidentally, they were right!) So that we could not safely make such a long journey. Unfortunately, anti-religious bias that perpetuates the popular idea of the "Dark Ages", continues to turn up. Even Daniel Borstein is mistaken. In his book * The discoverers, he suggested that the Church has "forgotten" the earth was round, but may be rediscovered in a century before Columbus - but his testimony is pitifully thin (and the examples above, along with many others, to contradict).
