Perhaps using pylons instead of sundials would convince the flat landers in
your Facebook group of their misguided thinking.

a sundial disprove Flat Earth?
A better question is how could you show before telescopes were invented that
the earth orbits the sun rather than the sun orbiting the earth. We all observe
that the sun, moon and stars rise and set. Sundial design is the same for
geocentric and heliocentric systems

No, that was not a proof of the globe; just a measurement of its size, assuming the globe. A small, close sun over a flat earth could give the same result for the two locations.However, several other observations had already proved the globe. And you could repeat the Eratosthenes experiment in
Didn't Eratosthenes show that the earth was round by measuring the

Hello,
In my country there is this growing Flat Earth movement akin to religious
fundamentalism. No matter what you throw at them, they simply ignore it. There
