The story of Flat Earthism is interesting, not least because it is was not a religious Dogma. Rather likem scientology or, come to think of it, many other religions.
That came from a cult started by one single person. That said it was not since the 17th c a Church dogma that the earth was flat and Religion is not to be blamed for flat earthism. I found that the 'circle of the earth' refers to a flat circle (chwug) as if inscribed by a compass (meshuggah, or some similar word) and if a sphere was means 'dur' (a ball) would have been used. It does and knowing the babylonian cosmos puts it all into place - a circular flat earth, ringed with mountains (the sluices of the deep inset) with waters above and below.
