Over 2,000 years ago, Eratosthenes proved the Earth was round and measured it using only shadows and basic math. On the summer solstice, he noticed that while objects cast shadows in Alexandria, they didn’t in Syene. That tiny clue unlocked the secret of Earth’s size: 40,000 km, nearly perfect by modern standards. His work survived despite the tragic loss of the Library of Alexandria, while Ptolemy’s later miscalculations led Columbus astray. | History Revived

Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of Earth by measuring the angle of the shadow cast by the Sun at noon in two different locations and using this information to determine the distance between the two points on Earth’s surface. He first measured the angle of the shadow cast in Alexandria, Egypt, which he found to be around 7.2 degrees. At the same time, he also measured the angle of the shadow cast in Syene (now Aswan), which was found to be virtually nonexistent as the Sun was directly o
