Just what is “Flat Earth Theory?”

I can find no evidence that anyone ever believed that the Earth was flat until school teachers began talking about it in the 1950s.

The Bible, and every other ancient volume speak of a spherical Earth.

The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl is common in pre-scientific societies.
