For thousands of years, nearly every ancient culture believed the Earth was flat and unmoving, with the sun, moon, stars, and heavens revolving above it. Cultures that taught a flat Earth:
Ancient Hebrews (as seen in Scripture)
Babylonians
Egyptians
Norse and early Germanic tribes
Chinese
Native Americans
Vedic Hindus
They often described:
A circular, flat plane
Surrounded by water or ice
Covered by a firmament or dome
With celestial bodies embedded or moving within that dome
Even the Bible confirms this flat, enclosed structure (e.g. Genesis 1:6–8, Job 38:14, Isaiah 40:22, and Psalm 104:5).
⚙️ Rise of the Globe Model: Ancient Greece
The idea of a spherical Earth originated with Greek philosophers, not Scripture.
Pythagoras (6th century BC) was one of the first to speculate a spherical Earth based on mysticism and numerology — not observation.
Aristotle (4th century BC) promoted the globe using shadow arguments from lunar eclipses and ship disappearance — still debated today.
Eratosthenes (3rd century BC) allegedly calculated Earth's circumference using shadows, though modern criticism questions the accuracy and assumptions.
Yet even in Greek times, most common people still believed the Earth was flat.
⛪ Middle Ages: Church Influence & Suppression
Early Christian thinkers like Lactantius and Cosmas Indicopleustes still held to a flat Earth model, aligning with the biblical view.
But over time, the Roman Catholic Church absorbed more Greek philosophy into its theology.
By the medieval period, the geocentric globe model (Earth as a sphere, center of the universe) became doctrine — especially under Thomas Aquinas, who harmonized Scripture with Aristotle’s teachings.
Dissenting views were often silenced or ridiculed.
Copernican Shift (1500s–1600s)
Nicolaus Copernicus (1543) introduced the heliocentric model — Earth orbiting the sun.
This radically changed everything:
→ No longer was Earth the center of creation, but just another spinning rock.
Later, Galileo and Kepler promoted it further, and the Church eventually accepted the model, despite early resistance.
Modern Era: NASA, Space Race, and Indoctrination
The 20th century cemented the globe model through:
Government-funded education systems
NASA’s space program, including the supposed 1969 moon landing
Countless CGI images and computer simulations
Meanwhile, flat Earth ideas were ridiculed, labeled “conspiracy,” and mocked in public discourse.
But now, with the rise of the internet and independent thinkers, more people are questioning the narrative again.
❗ Why the Shift?
Because if the Earth is flat, enclosed, and motionless:
Evolution becomes impossible.
The Big Bang becomes meaningless.
There must be a Creator, and we must be designed with purpose.
It’s no longer "space" — it’s Heaven above, Earth below, and waters beneath (Genesis 1:6–10).
That’s why this truth is suppressed — not because it lacks evidence, but because it confirms God and destroys man's pride.
