You know what my favorite conspiracy is? Globe Earth.
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command" - George Orwell, 1984
How long has the globe earth conspiracy been going on?
I don't know. Perhaps since Pythagoras, gaining serious momentum during the last century.
When did knowledge about the flat earth start? Have people always known?
I don't know that for sure either, though it appears that most ancient civilizations knew something. In recent times, it seems to have begun in the 19th century, with people like Samuel Rowbotham and William Carpenter.
