A fair number, if not the majority of ‘pagan’ (pre-christian) societies knew A) the earth wasn't flat, and B) the earth revolved around the sun.

For that matter, they already knew the moon revolved around the earth, and had calculated the distances to both within 10%.

Yes, I know. I don't think the people who first wrote the Bible did, though.
