I was looking at videos on YouTube about map projections.
This is a subject I'm interested in. I have a lot of useful facts about
map projections on my web site, at
http://www.quadibloc.com/maps/mapint.htm
One of the videos I found was an hour long, so I was interested in
it, as that might make it more informative.
Anyways, it had time to incorporate, in its entirety, a short video
from NASA about what Geodesy is.
I found that video itself separately on YouTube:

Here they are, uncritically accepting Eratosthenes' conclusions,
and trying to brainwash people into not believing the evidence of
their own eyes... to convince them of this contrived artificial
theory that the earth is a globe, instead of being flat, as is
obvious!
Seriously, though, of course the Earth _seems_ flat, no matter where
you are. It's when people start comparing notes in widely-separated
parts of the Earth that the notion of a flat Earth becomes untenable.
