OK, then why not start with a Sanskrit translation of the original languages.

At ths point, guar0ntee you there's no dearth of qualified translators of those languages in Korea now. Why keep somethikng that's at least two removes from the originals?

I've known peop[le up on the Cumberland plateau who probabl;y believed that was true. Some of them probably didn't even handle snakes.
While this is likely to be a fascinating debate, I suspect it would be better suited to a different thread other than ‘Flat Earth Theory’ in the ‘Conspiracy Theories’ thread!

So where do you think all the data, internet & TV comes from, try watching the video I posted again, but all the way to the end.
Satellites that aren't there. They use dishes to transmit date to satellites that have been photoshopped into low earth orbit, which then retransmit it to receiving dishes on terra firma.

And you can't understand English, I do, as well as a couple of other languages. You believe that God was an incompetent engineer who designed a Rube Goldberg universe. That's sad.

Its only an evidence that the Bible authors used the flat earth concept which was the mainstream idea of their time.
Actually it's a fairly reasonable idea given a firmly terrestrial perspective, and if you don't pay too much attention to the behavior of celestial objects. Once somebody realizes that the rising and setting of the sun don't seem to make much sense then the whole thing begins to fall apart.

As Eratosthenes proved, we need just a stick and two distant cities to prove the Earth is not flat. As easy as a pie.

I am still waiting for any evidence for the flat earth - a photograph, video footage or at least a realistic CGI.

Also, for your explanation how all the faked satellites work as they are supposed to work, all the time. Who operates the balloons, who is faking the satellites and why you cannot see and photograph any in the skies. And how can balloons keep the precise formation like the Musk's skylink.

You can't find one, can you ?
Neither can you find one which says the earth is flat. That is the point he is making which you seem determined to miss.

In 1931, Auguste Piccard went up in a balloon to an altitude of 15781 m, not far above the cruising altitude of an airliner. At the altitude, Earth’s curvature is still very slight and difficult to see, especially through the small portholes in his chamber.

In a Popular Science interview, Piccard was reported to have said that Earth “seemed a flat disc with an upturned edge.”

I know Piccard said this, as I know a guy who has this magazine who has shown the actual print of what piccard said.

@10:04

This is the nearest I could get of Piccards journey.

In post #1,717, you posted this image implicating NASA as having published a fake photo of satellites around the earth:

1712221788066.jpeg


I pointed out to you with proof that it is an artist’s impression. You then posted an irrelevant link to a CGI simulation as a claim that it was the source of the photo. When it was pointed out to you that the link even said the simulation (which had nothing to do with the photo you posted) was CGI, you refused to even acknowledge your ‘mistakes’.

You have also consistently refused to engage with clear reasoned challenges to your claims by just changing the subject or just rehashing the same claim again.

Your refusals are proof that you don’t acknowledge the obvious & proven truth even when it’s pointed out to you. Your FE claims are just smoke for trolling. You’re not interested in truth.

No, I will not visit that weird website. You tell me what you learned there.

I am still waiting for any evidence for the flat earth - a photograph, a video footage (you can use a balloon as many students did and attach a camera to it) or at least a realistic CGI, which will present our world in detail.

And we can quote hundreds of people who were in space and show you hundreds of photos, videos, even from Mars or Moon.

There are also hundreds or even thousands of satellites making photos of our Earth surface, constantly. And the International Space Station has even a live stream you can watch anytime you want..

Therefore?

Not only that, Auguste Piccard always referred to the earth's shape as a globe and NEVER said that it is flat.
