This video pretty much sums up the flat earth belief that the analemma actually proves flat earth.

Nicole, show me schematics for "Flat Earth."

What an annoying video.
The Coriolis effect is proof of a rotating globe.

Also, the aforementioned Emma sounds fun...

I see the animation at 2:30 in that video shows a self illuminating moon.
So explain moon phases. And the fact that craters on the moon cast shadows which proves it is being lit from some light source.

If the first couple of minutes of the video are full of such gaping holes I'm not sure it's worth my time to watch the rest.

Don't shoot the messenger. He asked how the flat earth could explain the analemma and I found a YouTube video explaining their belief.

You do have to admit the beginning is kinda funny.
