Did he make an assumption about the distance of the sun?
Did he assume parallel rays?

Speaking to all:
How did Eratosthenes get the circumference of the earth?
The length of shadows.
Now for those who believe such a science:

Let us pretend the earth is a ball.
In 24 hours, let us take the distance between the earth and the sun to be constant (not changing) (change negligible).
But in that same 24 hours, no shadow, short shadow, long shadow, very long shadow could be obtained.
So, constant distance, changing shadows.
Inference:
You cannot obtain the distance of the sun from shadows.
Conclusion:
If the distance of the sun cannot be obtained, Eratosthenes is finished!

Let us return to our senses.

1 Kings , 2 Kings , 3 Kings, 4 Kings. (1st naming system).
1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings. (2nd naming system).
I used the first naming system.

Sun dial proves flat earth.
Just imagine a sun dial on a ball earth.
You need a very strong belief to believe in ball earth.

Check out 4 Kings 20:11 (Go and read it).
We always believed rightly until people started believing imaginations and fancies.
So few years before Christ, we had few fanciful school of thoughts.

Yes. It was backed by the oldest book of events at that time.
There were mathematicians that wrote against Galileo, and a notable one, a Dominican I think.
Everything in the past moves to the category of belief.

Then others will believe in God.
God loves innocent people.
People who are not innocent, he makes them innocent.

I too love science (I loved fluid mechanics).
I love testable science.
I love empirical science.
I hate pseudoscience.

'The defence can also be due to unfamiliarity with the subject.'
Plead with YouTube to show you deleted or 'out of algorithm' flat earth videos.

Ball earth makes no empirical sense.
Empirical science is that water cannot stick to a speeding, spinning, wobbling, rotating, revolving fireball from the sun.

Water maintains its level. (Adhesion is between surfaces of different kind).
Water does not bend like a rubber band.
Water does not hang sideways.
Water must be contained.
Water flows.

Flat earth is very empirical.
Globe earth is mostly fascination.
When one studies, he gains knowledge.

Modesty is unpopular too these days.
There is a time to cry and a time to weep.
We hope for a brighter day ahead.
Seems these days are times for rainbows, but by God's grace, all the lights will be brought back to their senses.

Then you can help me change the state of things here.
We must be on fire for truth.
If you love something, you will be happy to discuss it.
Christ and everything about Christ must be spread far and wide.
Luke 8:16
And no man lighting a candle doth cover it with a vessel, or put it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they that enter in, may see the light.

That is why you must think, and decide.
Truth and falsehood are opposed to each other.
The children of light VS the children of darkness.
Judeans vs Gentiles
Watch this and decide https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8lrBBmZzfvI
Ball earth is total garbage. People are just fascinated about what they can't understand, and become slaves to Google for numbers and figures.
Believe the creation account in the book of Genesis.
Believe God!
