| Aug 21, 2012 at 20:31 | comment | added | dotancohen | Thanks, if only I could edit that post. Of course I did mean 1492, the year of the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! | |
| Aug 21, 2012 at 20:20 | comment | added | Joe | @dotancohen, I'm not sure that 1942 is really the year people think of when imagining the discovery of the roundness of the earth... | |
| Jan 31, 2012 at 15:38 | comment | added | dotancohen | This map also dispels the notion that the world was thought to be flat before 1942. It can easily be seen that this map is a section of a sphere, not a flat area. | |
