that was still right

https://kabbalah.com/en/master-kabbalists/the-land-is-a-ball pretty spooky

most people thought it was round

Dante's Divine Comedy cited a round earth so that purgatory could exist opposite to civilization

@Amthyric In the renaissance, many people believe in round earth but not in the ancient times. I was surprised to see other people than greek philosopher think that the earth was round. So far from what I know, it was a couple of greerk philosophers and jewish kabbalists who tought the earth was round in ancient times.

that said, Dante was pre-Columbus

the article is about Columbus

Renaissance started pre-Columbus, it started around the 14th century

It's not unusual to find out most people in the renaissance believed in round earth, but it is unusual to find people in ancient times believe that it was round.

correct

It had it's inception during the late 15 early 16th century

@Sassy Undeniably just curious what are you studying in university?

?

Entreprenual BAAS and cosmetology

Ok just curious

and kinesiology

Hey I have a few friends in kinesiology

Yeah

@rivenator12113 the Zohar is a medieval document. I don’t know what you’re referencing about the 13th century

It’s essentially fanfic about a bunch of famous rabbis

@rivenator12113 some of the rabbis mentioned in it are from far earlier, as you said. But the actual document was written in the Middle Ages

many of the scientific theories the world clings to are largely based on the Zohar/Kaballah philosophies. things like string theory for example, quantum physics etc.

i wish i took notes on specifics. one sec

@Deleted User The teachings of the Zohar was introduced by a rabbi 2000 years ago but they were persecuted and could never publish their work. Moses took their work and published it to the public, he ascribed all the works of the Zohar to Shimon Bar

@rivenator12113 when are you claiming the Zohar was written?

@Millennium Envoy nnnnope

look into it

respected "scientists" have said it already

@Deleted User mb, 2000 years ago

@Deleted User 2nd century ad

it was kept in secret until Moses published it

The Zohar was supposedly discovered being used as wrapping for fish from the market

it should be. its a sinister ideology that will lead to the justification of a one world religion down the line

Big pieces of it are like if someone wrote the avengers with historical characters from different times and places

Like if a British story had Alfred the great hanging out with Queen Victoria and Lancelot

Moses deleon said that it was passed down generation by generation starting with it's creator, Shimon

We know from the geography in it that it was probably written in medieval Spain

I'm not arguing who published it first

Moses Deleon, the guy who published, ascribed the work to Shimon

who dated back to 2nd century ad
