Looking at the sky this evening and the question struck me. When the Earth was still believed to be flat, was it also believed that the moon was indeed flat too (like a disc in the sky)? Or did spiritual or scientific beliefs of the time eradicate any questioning of this subject?
Cheers.
hi! there's lots of room for more input on this to represent any populations who did believe the Earth was flat, but meanwhile, check these out:

similar question When people thought the Earth was flat, did they think the moon was a 2D circle in the sky? - most of the thread is debating the "flat Earth" thing, but keep looking, there are a few comments on the moon

Hey, very interesting. Didn't realise there was other related topics, was very much a spare of the moment query. Lots of good reading though and for that I am greatful!
Cheers!
