like I said, ur living in the dream worlf of understanding NOTHING about how science OPERATES. newton was wrong too, SCIENCE ISNT THEOLOGY. the greeks had numerous observations, they even had experiments and they reached a conclusion that the earth was a sphere. that conclusion is basically...

I have responded to ur arguments. science USES WHAT THE GREEKS USED AND WORSE ALL THE TIME. the greeks had actual experimentation. and any elipsoid would not work, because a lunar eclipse would not shadow a cricle off some oblong elipsoid, so AGAIN ur wrong. ur wrong, theoritically, ur...

ur point is wrong, 100% verifiably wrong. ur trying to say that its not "real proof" that they had these half dozen or so observations that led them to a consensus that the earth was a sphere, because it could have, somehow, been another object. even though of course u dont propose this...

what? thats the only reason I WOULD put civilizations in. besides this is CIV, NOT EMPIRE. seems like ppl get all uppity and overfocused on who controlled the largest landmass and had the biggest dong. the vikings had a culture, they had longboats, ppl know about them, and they are cool...

like I said, science uses conjecture all the time. riemann hypothesis unproven for 200 years, and it underpines dozens, maybe hundreds of other mathematical proofs. even einsteins relativity had assumptions that were proven after the fact. YOUR WRONG, what u propose is NOT how science...

what? not a direct descendant of ODIN, lies! lies I say! haha it all don't matter though, the vikings are cool to play, maybe not as cool as the mongols, but still pretty cool. ppl know who they are, they did matter, they did share a culture even if it was broken up tribally, and they...

yah well the credibility of ppl who place persia below "the arabs" is pretty much defunct. Warned! - Flaming

the vikings were historically important, yah they were a bunch of tribes who were united rarely and raided often. WHO CARES. they were COOL. everyone knows who they are, more or less what they did, and would be interested in playing them in civ.

science works on conjecture all the damn time. now ur just being obtuse and unnecessarily silly. even math, which is the most "proof demanding" of the sciences has worked on the assumption of the riemann hypothesis for 200 years now w/o "proof." god knows what conjectures and hypothesis...

u can keep vikings in on just being really cool. ppl will want to play as the vikings. ppl like me!

hahaha. I'm confident that if forced to u could logically prove that given the data available, changing shadows, lunar eclipses, constellations, horizons u could prove the earth was a sphere. dismisses the evidence peacemeal is dishonest, and frankly is simply not how reality worked. I...

yes, but the shadows would only be like that if the earth WAS spherical. u can also tell the earth is spherical through horizon observations, masts on ships, tall objects as u move away from them. infact I believe there are many more ways to induce the earth is a sphere, including lunar...

they measured its circumference. seem pretty superfluous to measure the circumference of a flat object.

the greeks thought the earth was a sphere, and the earth is a sphere, unless ur talking about the miniscule centrifugal bulge at the center. its a nice bit of trivia, but it doesn't change the macro shape of the planet.

persia kicks the . .. .. .. . outta arabia/india IMO. Warned! - Language
