the greeks new it was round because you could see the top of a ships mast before you saw the rest of the ship when it was on the horizon. also they did some shit with triangulating shadows or something

egyptians proved this using mirrors in the desert thousands of years ago. then ancient sailors figured it out the same way (they actually measured the curvature of the earth by spacing themselves out over many miles). the egyptians were accurate up to 95% or some amazing figure.
