\|	\|	[AI summary] The article refutes the 'Flat Earth Myth' by demonstrating that medieval scholars in Western Europe universally understood the Earth as spherical. It highlights that knowledge of the Earth's sphericity was widespread and even common among the unlearned, supported by evidence from vernacular literature, iconography, and historical texts. The piece critiques the spread of this myth by figures like Neil deGrasse Tyson and New Atheists, who perpetuate historical inaccuracies. The author emphasizes the importance of accurate historical understanding and criticizes the uncritical acceptance of pseudo-historical narratives.	2.5 parsecs away Travel
