Why talk like a daft? put an ant on a 50ft ball and it would have a lot of flat land to walk on

you are far, far less than the size of an ant on the whole earth.. geez !

is this your proof the earth is round, how old are you?. let me see your proof that people live on a ball earth or you shut up.

krushdripper:
Have you ever taken a flight? If you have, you won't be talking all this flat earth rubbish.. geez! where did you come from??

the moon is round, the sun is round, stars are round looking from afar and you expect the whole earth to be flat? c'mon

is this the proof the earth is round have you been to the moon before to know that it is round? if it is round like a ball why have r not seen the other side?. like I said before bring your proof or shut your trap.

Stop calling people ignorant. To the best of my knowledge, you only know what you've been fed. Has anyone purposely sailed of fly any latitude South of the equator in recent times for you to conclude the circumference is larger than the equator?
You're still making reference to an 1822 voyage that has nothing to do with a dedicated trip to make the discovery. I searched and I found out that the ship in question was traveling in zigzag, not on a particular longitude. This is a quote I found about your claim It would be a miracle if he didn't get lost.
I also realized that the two worst places to sail are northern and southern latitudes. That means, the navigation problem is not peculiar to the southern seas.
...And please, the fact that some believe in flat earth because they believe that's what the Bible teaches is ridiculous. It's subject to interpretation and on careful scrutiny, it's not what the Bible implies.

some people just like to argue blindly. can you in any way prove that the navigator was wrong in his assertions.

have you been out to river Niger before?, not to talk of the antarctic oceans. I gave you writing down notes from people who have explored the seas long before your father's were born and your talking nonsense. pls to stop the argument prove it wrong.

Talk of being to River Niger. It might interest you to know that I was born and raised in Jebba.
I may not be a sailor, but commonsense should tell anyone that travelling "zigzagly", as evident in the Sailor's account didn't reflect the true distance along a particular latitude in the Antarctic region, but the difficulty of navigation, which is also the case with the Arctic region.
Do you even know how far it is to sail from latitudes 58 degree south up to 54, then back down to 65?

For example, if you're traveling along the Equator from the GMT to longitude 15 degree west, the distance is roughly 1038 miles.
Now if instead of of sailing or flying just along the equator, you decide to travel 484 miles North to 7^N, then travel about 11774 miles south to 10^S. From there, 1035 miles due North to 5^N, then 760 miles South to 6^S, before traveling 415 miles to the destination. That's about 3870 miles, instead of 1038 miles.
That's the implication of traveling zigzagly instead on a particular route. That's about four times the original distance. I hope you can now why the Navigator travelled 69000 miles?
It's difficult sailing in the polar regions (Antarctic and Arctic). It's not peculiar to the southern ocean alone, so there's no point making point out of it.
And by the way, you're the one making wild claims that you can't verify.
Remember you can't still explain the equinox and solstices with flat earth model?

so for your mind now you know better than captain cook and Clark ross who spent three years going around Antarctica. if you try so hard to sound intelligent you will make yourself look like a fool.

the quote you put up there was made by Samuel rowbotham the author zetetic astrology; earth not a globe.

he quoted other voyagers who found that their chart , which used globular earth model, always put them off course in the south seas . that is the reason for their zig zag movement.

so for you to prove cook and ross false you must first explore the south oceans for years not sitting behind your keyboard and become a keyboard hero.

now let me give you the whole quote

rowbotham quotes from Voyagers, who found that their charts based on a globular earth model, almost always put them off course in the south seas.

"" we found ourselves that very day from 12to16 miles by observation of our reckoning . another southern seafarer stated: "" by our observation at noon we found our selves 58 miles to the eastward of our reckoning in two days.""

the spherical earth chart did not account for the expanse of distance between the lines of longitude the further south travelled on the flat earth. consequently , the mariners true position on the earth , determined by using celestial navigation and a chronometer , was found to be off several degrees from the position on the chart that was plotted using dead reckoning.

one mariner detailed the distance that the erroneous charts, which assumed a globular earth, put them off course in the south seas

""" February 11th, 1822, at noon, in latitude 65.53. S. our chronometers gave 44 miles more westing than the log in three days. On 22nd of April (1822), in latitude 54.16. S. our longitude by chronometers was 46.49, and by D.R. (dead reckoning)47°11´: On 2nd May (1822), at noon, in
latitude 53.46. S., our longitude by chronometers was 59° 27´, and by D.R. 61° 6´. October 14th, in
latitude 58.6, longitude by chronometers 62° 46´, by account 65° 24´. In latitude 59.7. S., longitude by chronometers was 63°28´, by account 66°42´. In latitude 61.49. S., longitude by chronometers was 61° 53´, by account 66° 38´.""

2. It is a very know fact that when someone in the northern hemisphere (like Nigeria) takes a picture of the moon at exactly the same time with someone in the Southern Hemisphere, both pictures of the moon will be mirror images of each other because globe earth model assumes that both individuals are standing in opposite directions. how does flat earth model explain this?

This would happen only on a flat Earth because the Sun is moving over the Earth and forming patterns.

Don't you know if the Earth is spinning and travelling around the Sun added with the Sun spinning and travelling through the supposed Galaxy the sky would never look the same. There would be no such thing as fixed stars or astrology because the sky would change according the supposed billions of stars in the made up galaxy.
