Original Note:
The West has known the earth is spherical, not just for “a few hundred years,” but for *2-1/3 millennia* — since Aristotle's 1st empirical demonstration of earth's sphericity in his “On the Heavens” (Book II, Chap. 14), using evidence as valid today as in the 4th century B.C. https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/12699
