I'm not a flat earther but I also do not feel that your article above disabuses me of the possibility that the Earth is flat. The ship disappearing over the horizon for example is supposedly one that can be corrected with a long lens or a laser. I would have thought that you would need to address this claim by the flat earthers rather than just use ad hominem.
Also Erathosthenes seems to have got the position of Rome wrong from where he was as he said that it was directly north of him. Which I believe would have put him in Tripoli (or Cyrene) rather than Alexandria.
Yeah, Flat Earthers are just one of the myriads of religions that only a brain dead person would entertain..
