The problem with all these "sources" is that historians back then took drawings of a flat earth by ancient civilizations as literal to the extreme. I don't think that most thinkers believed in a flat earth even back then, because of how ships and caravans look when they travel beyond the horizon. The bottom vanishes, but you can still see the tops.
