And why are there Gregorian Chants from the 9th Century reffering to the Earth as an Orb?

Because the world is round? As was known since the time of the Greeks? Who, using differential shadow lenghts at noon in two cities calculated that the world was about 8000 miles in diameter several hundred years before Christ was born?

Are you sure you meant to direct this question at me?
