Even makes a flat-earther look like a genius
Flat-earthers as a significant portion of anything are a historical myth cooked up in the 19th century. Those who invoke them are historically ignorant. There is a great book out there entitled “Inventing the Flat Earth” by Jeffery Burton Russell. Prior to the 19th century in the west, there are at most 5 documented individuals who may have held that the earth was flat, though in the majority of these cases the evidence is ambiguous. The one really clear case is a guy in the 2nd or 3rd century who was condemned as a heretic (though for reasons other than his geography—his theology was as bad as his natural science). His Latin was really good, though, and he was widely read in the renaissance.

How about a pyramid silo believer?
Hell, this guy makes Joe Biden look like a genius!
