3. Amnon Goldberg: Sages Knew Earth Was Round
From: thaxted@netvision.net.il
Subject: Greek Earth

Re: The uncouth myth that the ancients up to Columbus all believed in a flat Earth.

This was promulgated in the 1880s by evolutionists trying to prove their intellectual superiority over previous eras.

In fact, the sphericity of the Earth was known to all educated men since ancient times, including chazal - e.g. Yerushalmi Avoda Zara 3:1, Avoda Zara 41, Bereshit R 63, Bamidbar R 13, Esther R 1, Zohar III:10, Zohar Chadash 1:15.

The Talmud gives the Earth's circumference correctly as 6,000 parsangs - 24,000 miles (Pesachim 94).

Pythagoras, Parmenides, Eudoxus, Plato, Aristotle, Erastosthenes, Euclid, Archimedes, Strato and Ptolemy all knew the Earth to be a globe.

This is not surprising since "the Greeks obtained their knowledge of astronomy from the works of the Bnei Yissachar" [i.e. Tribe of Issachar] (Rambam, Hilchos Kiddush Hachodesh 17).

"It is He who sits above the circle of the Earth, and its dwellers are like grasshoppers!" (Yeshaya 40).
