I never said I found the globe earth theory fully convincing either, but I’d also postulate that our current globe theory isn’t the same as older globe earth theories, so regarding your gif, yes I do think that doesn’t make sense, but that’s also our current model that is influenced by societies like NASA, and to me that’s just one theory in a litany of theories, just like flat earth is.
To say something like “if globe theory is wrong then so is precession and you gotta throw everything out with it” is disingenuous. Precession by a quick Wikipedia search was discovered, although incidentally, in the 2nd century BC. And ancient astronomers have historically been seen to get their astronomy knowledge from older civilizations like the Babylonians, so we’re talking a lot of time and a lot of astronomers to get to where we’re at. And most of that knowledge happened before the internet where people actually had to write papers and justify their theories with mathematics and real explanations.
Now, they may have believed in a geocentric universe too while also having plausible theories on precession and the celestial equator, I’m not an expert, I just wanted to know if FE had plausible explanations about this stuff.
As to “have a really dug deep?”, I’ve watched documentaries about it, nothing that I’d say I’ve retained super well. I find it interesting but I also just think it’s another theory, not law. So the idea that we’re being lied to about globe earth? Sure, I think that’s possible. But do I think that means FE is the only alternate explanation? No.
I’d probably be more inclined to seek the wisdom of ancient astronomers than internet people who get all worked up as if I’m a retard for not giving my entire life to FE. It’s just one of many different things to look into and it’s not one I care about at the moment beyond “huh I’ll watch this internet documentary” maybe once every 2 years.
