[QUOTE="Speedwell, post: 73615157, member: 387171"] I'm sorry that you were fed such guff in school about Columbus. In fact, the Earth has been known to be a sphere for upwards of two millennia. In the third century BC the Greek mathematician Eratosthenes calculated the diameter of the Earth within 10% of its actual value. The thing with Columbus was that he insisted on doing the calculations for himself and was off by a factor of two, which is why everybody else thought it was too far to go and why he thought he was in Japan when he got to the Bahamas.
