Well, certainly no one in the year 1000 thought the earth was flat. Ancient Greek philosophers argued Earth was a sphere on several grounds:
-a sphere is a “perfect” shape.
-ships slowly disappear below the horizon as they sailed off into the distance.
-Earth was observed to cast a round shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse
Ancient civilizations had a fairly accurate understanding of the size and shape of the Earth. They had difficulty accepting the idea that the Earth moves. Some people still have difficulty accepting the idea that the Earth moves. http://sites.google.com/site/earthdeception/quotes

I think we’re pretty close to throwing out all talk of “gravity” and concluding that all of the phenomena formerly attributed to it is really the working of perfectly balanced interactive electromagnetic forces involving the whole universe with our immovable Earth at the center of it all.
