Title: Help me understand
Post by: RocklynB on January 15, 2016, 11:36:21 AM
Hi.  I'm intrigued in understanding more about the flat earth.  I've spent some time looking through the wiki and there are only a couple of maps to help me visualise it. 

This one seems to explain the most. http://wiki.tfes.org/File:Voliva_map.jpg

Does anyone have any better maps that explain more?

Do you see any problems depicting the Earth that way? Which problems?

You may find Orlando Ferguson's map to be more illustrative. It's my personal favourite.

Can you explain the depicted donut-like curvature? 
Is the map suggesting that the earth is thusly curved? and not flat?

I am just keen to get a better understanding.  I'm not suggesting any problems.

Thanks for this map.  Less flat and more of a concave earth.  From lots of the reading i have done on the site i can see how this existing in space compared to the other "flat disc" descriptions given.

Maybe more confused now.
