https://stardate.org/astro-guide/faqs/how-was-size-earth-first-measured
Earth's circumference was first accurately measured more than 2,000 years ago by the Greek astronomer Eratosthenes,
who at the time lived in the Egyptian city of Alexandria.
He had heard that in the nearby town of Syene midday sunlight shines straight down to the bottom of deep wells on the same day
each year, indicating that the Sun was directly overhead in Syene.
In Alexandria, however, sunlight on that date never reached the bottoms of wells, but instead fell upon the sides.
Eratosthenes reasoned that the difference in the angle of incoming sunlight was due to the curvature of Earth's surface,
and so by measuring this angle, he related the distance between Alexandria and Syene to the total dimension of the globe.
On the day the Sun shone on the bottom of the wells in Syene, Eratosthenes measured the Sun's position in the sky over Alexandria.
It was seven degrees away from the zenith, meaning Syene must be seven degrees away from Alexandria as measured on the circle
that is Earth's circumference.
Because seven degrees is about one 50th of a full circle (360 degrees), Eratosthenes simply multiplied the distance from Alexandria
to Syene -- believed to have been about 515 miles (830 km) -- by 50.
He calculated Earth's circumference at 26,000 miles (42,000 km), only five percent away from the modern accepted value of 24,901
miles (40,074 km).

also an Islamic mathematician who developed trigonometry also calculated the Earth's circumference way back in the
Mediaeval period.

https://owlcation.com/stem/How-to-Determin-the-Radius-of-the-Earth-Al-Birunis-Classic-Experiment
Abū Rayḥān Al-Bīrūnī, a pioneering Muslim scientist figured out a truly remarkable and ingenious method to calculate the radius of the earth (and subsequently its circumference). This method was very simple yet accurate, requiring just four measurements in all to be taken and then applying a trigonometric equation to arrive at the solution. What Biruni figured out with unprecedented accuracy and precision in the 10th century was not known to the west until the 16th century.
Abbasid Caliph Al-Mamun thus employed a team of renowned scholars of that time and assigned them the task of calculating the size of the earth. They started by finding the distance over which the sun's angle at noon changed by 1 degree, multiply it by 360 and you arrive at the circumference from which size can be deduced. They arrived at a value which was within 4% of the actual value. The problem with this method was that it was cumbersome to measure large straight line distances between two points in the heat of the desert and perhaps they only had to count paces to measure it.
Al-Biruni's Classic Method
Al-Biruni devised a more sophisticated and reliable method to achieve this objective.
To carry out his method Biruni only needed three things.

- An astrolabe.
- A suitable mountain with a flat horizon in front of it so that angle of depression of horizon could be accurately measured.
- Knowledge of trigonometry.
O
Upon my personal studies Gnostic views helped with the creation of mixing false science with scriptures Paul in his epistles constantly stressed about false doctrines and all kinds of it he mentioned in 1st and 2nd Timothy. In these scriptures im going to lay out the book, chapter, verse numbers and words that stand out also the strongs numbers so you can look up the definition of the original word used in the scriptures. Make sure you use a KJV and/or literal translation version because it really matters to have the literal translation of the actual Hebrew words being used and not a paraphrase and/or removal of words to fit a new age agenda version. Please take note that as believers of God's Word we should follow what scripture says and not what man says
Romans 3:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
SHAPE OF EARTH
Isaiah 40:22
STRONGS: Circle - H2328 / H2329
Curtain - H1852
Like a Tent - H168
The words here are describing a dome over the earth and the earth being a circle
Isaiah knew the difference between circle and a sphere because in previous chapters he wrote about a ball
Isaiah 22:18 - He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
Isaiah 29:3 - And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
STRONGS: H1754 / The word used here is dur in hebrew
in the KJV versions the translators used Round About but literal translation being used in an interlinear version is as a circle
THE EXPANSE
Ezekial 1:22-26 -
22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
