Here's another common myth that is taught in schools:
At no time did people think the earth was flat. There are round globes dating back thousands of years. That middle ages flat-earth-fall-of-the-edge stuff is bullshit.Comment

Washington Irving (1783-1859), who loved to write historical fiction under the guise of history. His misrepresentations of the history of early New York City and of the life of Washington were topped by his history of Christopher Columbus (1828). It was he who invented the indelible picture of the young Columbus, a "simple mariner," appearing before a dark crowd of benighted inquisitors and hooded theologians at a council of Salamanca, all of whom believed, according to Irving, that the earth was flat like a plate. Well, yes, there was a meeting at Salamanca in 1491, but Irving's version of it, to quote a distinguished modern historian of Columbus, was "pure moonshine. Washington Irving, scenting his opportunity for a picturesque and moving scene," created a fictitious account of this "nonexistent university council" and "let his imagination go completely...the whole story is misleading and mischievous nonsense."Originally posted by fuzebox

If so WTF???

A) it is a case of the Chinese only wanting to believe one of their own kind,
or
B) US astronauts simply didn't give a shit about looking for some view of some wall.
There was an old 50's sci-fi movie where one of the actors peered out the window of a space craft and said something about seeing the great wall. Can't remember the name of that movie but things like that likely fueled on the myth.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

It must have been known for a long time what with the size of this myth and the number of people that have been in space by now. But we have something called political correctness that hinders people from telling the truth in fear of being labelled "hateful" and whatnot.Comment
