Oh really? Where is even a shred of evidence that your statement is valid? Do you have a refernce?

I can easily provide evidence it is not:

You might want to look up the word "ignorance" in your copious spare time.
maybe im missing something, but i cant find anywhere where i said that they believed that at a particular time. as your link shows, it was believed up to a certain point, but was then disproved.

here is a quote from your proof that no one ever believed that the earth was flat:
Quote:
Belief in a flat Earth is found in humankind's oldest writings. In early Mesopotamian thought, the world was portrayed as a flat disk floating in the ocean, and this forms the premise for early Greek maps like those of Anaximander and Hecataeus.
I need not look up the definition of ignorance. all i have to do is look at someone who cant even give a link to prove his point without disproving it.

the more man learns, the more he realises, he really does not know anything.
