yeah... kinda...
people who actually though about it and HAD to know certainly did. I think for several thousand years it was clear to *those people it was round anyway.
but most people scoffed and called them monied interests who's only concern was fooling ordinary folk.
because after all, "what's around the ball? why don't people fall off it?"

it's actually not an easy question to answer without trust and with personal experimentation.

but yes, you'd think we'd have gotten past that about 100 years ago.
