The Earth is spherical because of these observations I had...
The Earth's shape is round. I believe the sphere is the perfect geometric shape and the gods would only create a perfect world.
No! It's shaped like a cylinder!

Back then, about 600-800 B.C., many people believed in different shapes of the Earth...
Till one fine day in 500 B.C., philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras announced that he believed the Earth is round.
Not only the earth is circular, but also that it is also a sphere of no great size: otherwise, the effect of a slight change of place wouldn't be quickly apparent.
The stars are constantly indifferent positions depending on a person's location.

As time passed...Aristotle, one of the great philosophers, started collecting evidence that the earth is indeed round. It is spherical to be specific.
Hmm, the stick cast a shadow here but on the last place I went to, it doesn't. I can determine the circumference of the Earth with this evidence.
One of the evidences was observed from eclipses...
He added that the overhead stars are significantly changed by minute change of position to south or north, and the stars seen are different, as one moves north or south.
Years later... Another philosopher, Eratosthenes, further proved that the earth is round and determined its circumference using a stick and the sun.
