Did you really slip some flat earth shit in there? LoL
What's your take on the works of Plato, Aristotle, Eratosthenes and Archimedes?
The Eratosthanes thing is not valid because, assuming he even performed the purported experiment, even according to Black Science Man it wouldn’t have proven the earth weren’t flat because there were only two data points and the same results would have been obtained if the sun were closer and smaller than it is now believed to be by mainstream science. And flat earthers don’t believe the sun is the size or distance that we have been told.
As for the other figures, I’m either not familiar enough or don’t know which specific writings you are referring to.
I don't know the original books they published, but this is a brief overview

I have not heard the theory include that the sun was not massive in size. That would indicate that it's not a nuclear fusion reaction spanning millions of years to me. Maybe it just a big heat lamp and we're all part of some higher dimensional experiment. Hmm
