You completely misunderstand. We predict eclipses and generate equations to extrapolate them based on charts - not models.
There are plenty of civilizations which "modeled" the world as flat which also had charts of when eclipses occurred.
The shape of the world is not involved in such things at all.
Beyond that, models are merely tools for limited use - not proof of anything in reality.
We have working astronomical models for the earth being the center of the universe (and assuming the earth a flat plane, as it appears experientially to us). Does that prove that the earth is the center of the universe?
It is trivial to create a model assuming anything you like - reality doesn't care.
Show those charts then.
You couldn't read them even if i did track one down.
You are welcome to follow up on the claim at your leisure. I have no reason to doubt it, and every reason to conclude it was important to many (if not most) civilizations to watch and record the patterns in the sky.
In ancient egypt, for one, such knowledge was used to convince the subjects that the pharaoh was a god.
As usual, the Flat Earther pretends to have evidence but refuses to show it for some bullshit reason.
Always the same.
As usual, i'm not a flat earther and you are too belligerent and forgetful to know that :(
