Episode Transcript
Hell, and welcome to this stupid history minute. I'm your host,
cap Pen and today is the last day of the
Conspiracy Theory series. I hope you have enjoyed it. Got
a lot of great feedback on it, and I really
hope everybody enjoyed it. However, we got one more to go,
and I'm going to try to get through this one
(00:25):
by just giving you the history of it. But I
don't think I could just do that. So today we're
talking about the flat earth theory. The flat earth theory
because apparently, after centuries of science, some folks decided the
world is still a pancake. Sorry, it's really traced back
to civilizations, but the spherical earth idea was well established
(00:49):
by the Greek scholars who even calculated the Earth's circumference.
Fast forward to modern times and despite overwhelming evidence, let
me say that again, despite overwhelming evidence from satellite images, astronauts,
and basic physics, a vocal group insists the planet is
flat surrounded by an ice wall, which is Antarctica to
(01:11):
keep the oceans in. Because you know, NASA must be
in on the joke and the cover up. You know,
never never forget the science. Now, let's just trust the
flat Earth crowd. Okay, I'm done. This has been a
stupid history minute, and I'm Kippa. This podcast is a
