The stick test is the one our ancestors used. Sure I can buy the greeks did it since they invented algebra and calculus, or the beginnings of it anyway.
But the native americans, maybe I am just a yuppy buying into native americans werent that advanced stereotype, shrugs. Its not that I dont think these people could do it, but to build things like the great pyramid or some of the astronomical sites in north/south america. Just seems like they skipped all the hard parts and someone just gave them the answer lol. Whoever created the horoscope must have had some kind of advanced mathematical knowledge, if not knowledge of the solar system itself.
Conduct a stick test
If you stick a stick in the (sticky) ground, it will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks). If the world had been flat, then two sticks in different locations would produce the same shadow.
But they don’t. This, again, is because the Earth is round, and not flat.
Eratosthenes (276-194 BCE) used this principle to calculate the circumference of the Earth quite accurately. To see this demonstrated, refer to my experiment video about Eratosthenes and the circumference of the Earth.
This one kinda makes sense, but again ive said before, perhaps the world is flat, but due to the curvature of space and time, it just looks round or something.
Climb a hill or mountain
Standing on a flat plateau, you look ahead toward the horizon. You strain your eyes, then take out your favorite binoculars and stare through them, as far as your eyes (with the help of the binocular lenses) can see.
Next, climb up the closest tree—the higher the better, just be careful not to drop those binoculars and break their lenses. Then look again, strain your eyes, and stare through the binoculars out to the horizon.
The higher up you climb, the farther you will see. Usually, we tend to relate this to Earthly obstacles—like the fact we have houses or other trees obstructing our vision on the ground, and climbing upwards we have a clear view—but that’s not the true reason. Even if you stood on a completely clear plateau with no obstacles between you and the horizon, you would see much farther from the greater height than you would on the ground.
This phenomenon is caused by the curvature of the Earth as well, and would not happen if the Earth was flat:
This is much similar to the "see the sunset twice" trick, which I dont know how would be possible if the earth were completely flat.
Just the few I can think of off the top of my head.

Maybe I'm just nitpicking about language, but I find it strange that the phrase "plane(s) of existence" is commonly used, especially among occultists.
Doesn't plane imply being flat or level? There's oodles of other words that could work in that phrase-domain, realm, region, etc
Even the Oxford dictionary has the second definition as "a level of existence, thought, or development."
Just an interesting word choice.
Whoever created the horoscope must have had some kind of advanced mathematical knowledge, if not knowledge of the solar system itself.
Yeah, I'd agree. It is really intricate...like I can't imagine how that really went down.
If you do a natal chart online, it seems like nothing. But it's like impossible to imagine doing it with like a mediocre telescope and an abacus or some shit. Not only that, but then figuring out how that "affects" things (if it really does).
What do we mean by "peer reviewed".
Do you mean like, experiments that anyone can try?
Top one that comes to mind, Foucault's pendulum.
