Quotes by Marq de Villiers (?)

“The size of the Earth has been known for more than two thousand years, although the number was lost or disputed when the Earth went from being round to being flat again in the Middle Ages (under the prodding of Christian heaven-watchers, the Greek philosophers' [Eratosthenes 276-194 BC] work was erased in Europe and preserved only by Muslim scientists in the Middle East and North Africa).”
― Marq de Villiers, The End: Natural Disasters, Manmade Catastrophes, and the Future of Human Survival
