Ok, now tell me how in a FE could we see this.

This hypotesis works, as you have explained, with objects like trees that can be covered thanks to perspective by smaller objects (the box). But, where I live (North Italy) there are some cliffs in the middle of a lot plains, full of wheat/rice fields. So there aren't any interferences (only little buildings in the middle of nowhere. But still When I go there I still see first the top and then the base. How do you explain this?

Is North Italy perfectly and geometrically flat, whereby not even an inch of soil rises above the plane for further bodies to shrink behind?

No it isn't perfectly flat.
But as I come nearer to the mountain there are fewer objects (e.g. less crops, buildings) that could really cover the cliff by perspective which is "enlarging" to my eyes. No, you can actually see it coming from the top to its base.


If you will continue saying that something is covering the cliff to be shown or something similar  still I can tell you that there is really something which is covering the mountain. it is known as the curvature of the earth.

Flat Earth Theory / And the mountains?

Hi I'm new to this website and I was looking for a question that I had in my mind of your philosophy about the flat-earth idea, but I didn't find it. So I'm going to ask it here, hoping it's the correct section.

In a flat earth if I went with my car from my house (in a plain zone) to a mountain I would see it "zooming" from a little point (which I should see also from my home if there aren't any interferences e.g. buildings) up to an enormous "triangle", which is the mountain itself.

In a round earth If I did the same thing I would start to see the mountain from the top, then as I come to its base I can see more of its base.


Now tell me... You know obviously that when a person goes to the mountains he/she sees first the top and not the whole object. How can it happen in a flat model?

P.s. sorry for my english, but I'm Italian

UPDATE:
and also, in simple words, how do tides work?
