- I know right! I really wished I was there! Such a bad timing HAHAHA! I'm glad you were able to learn and understand more about that topic! I was so curious about it, luck you!
- Okay, lets go!
- You know what, I'll discuss to you what I learn and understand in that study, so that you can able to understand it. But first, let's find some place to talk about it.
- Okay, let's start our discussion. during the discussion of our professor, by around 500 B.C., most ancient Greeks believed that Earth was round, not flat. But they had no idea how big the planet is until about 240 B.C., when Eratosthenes devised a clever method of estimating its circumference.
- It was around 500 B.C. that Pythagoras first proposed a spherical Earth, mainly on aesthetic grounds rather than on any physical evidence. Like many Greeks, he believed the sphere was the most perfect shape.
- Possibly the first to propose a spherical Earth based on actual physical evidence was Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), who listed several arguments for a spherical Earth: ships disappear hull first when they sail over the horizon, Earth casts a round shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse, and different constellations are visible at different latitudes.
- Wow, I can't believe they were able to know that!
- OMG! It is amazing even though it's a little bit confusing to understand the ancient Greeks view about the arguments on Earth's shape. But luckily, I was able to understand it! Thank you so much, Amy! I was able to learn something in your discussion. I totally enjoyed it and was entertain.
- You're welcome, Yanna! I'm glad you were able to understand it even if the topic is a little bit confusing. Thank you also, I was able to enjoy talking and discussion it to you.
