That was late to the party evidence, as civilizations had come and gone that covered the globe, and traded around the globe, and built great civilizations over the entire globe that knew the world was a globe, and who had descended, as tribes, from one of Noah's three sons [world means globe, for one, in Hebrew].<staff edit>The ancient Greeks knew the Earth was a globe and had the size within a few hundred miles.
Dig a hole 20 feet deep, have a plumb-bob hanging in the center, at sunset (or as soon as the stars are visible) note the stars and their positions that are "straight up" from the bottom of the hole. Walk 100 miles away from your present position (might take a few days but that's okay) and repeat the procedure. Note that there is a difference in what "straight up' is. The angle of the difference can be calculated and a rough determination of the circumference of the globe also. If the world was flat the plumb-bobs would be parallel, they never are, nor can they be.
Civilizations rise, and fall, and not even the names of their kings is remembered, but the Word of God from the beginning shows a created globe of waters, in Genesis 1. with the not yet stretched out heavens [stretched out from the earth between the divided in two waters of creation on day 2] circling the waters of the globe on day 1, as evening and morning, making one day.
