In article 1917021474442175479.361632bmckeenospam- , says... The Egyptians may have known of the rotation and even of the orbit. Forget which Egyptians calculated the diameter of the earth. They were only off by about 225 miles, using sticks and shadows at a certain time. Way before Europe and Rome admitted the earth was not flat. It was Eratosthenes, a Greek.
