So even though the ancient egyptians conceived a flat earth with a dome, there may not be a dome, ergo they may be incorrect.
So about 8,000 miles? That is what's taught, but I don't know if you have another value in mind
I've never seen a dome depiction in egyptian reliefs (though it could certainly exist). Typically it is depicted as the god ra stretched out with his back arched over the world and is not a perfect dome. This is somewhat similar/connected to the atlas mythology.
But, yes the world was known to be flat by the ancient egyptians and covered by a god.
Everyone can always be incorrect! That's kind of a central pillar of flat earth research.
Does the particular value matter that much? If the world isn't spherical, then the numbers are most likely wrong in any case.
Well I'm curious on what values were measured regarding the dome.-
Also, how can you say that you've never seen a dome depiction in egyptian reliefs when earlier you declared this?
Who measured what dome?
Figurative vs literal. The god ra can certainly be reasonably interpreted (in such depictions) to be the dome found in subsequent (and textually a direct descendant) depictions - such as the bible.
Dome to us implies hemisphere or portion of hemisphere. Even in the bible the dome is described as a tent. Tents can be hemispheric in our day, but they weren't back then (or even 50 years ago).
Dome figuratively, yes. Dome literally, perhaps not. The shape of the dome is not certain, assuming it exists - which, as i said, is a scientifically sound conclusion.
Let's stick to literal then!
Is there a dome at all that is over the flat earth? One that can be seen, felt, or measured?
