Indeed, but it says the following :

But it would seem Mr. Aristarchus had little support among his peers and regardless of popularity, it is not very many "1000s of years ago". I can't really see anything in that article that supports Seekn4's claim.
The reason I'm bringing it up is really just to show that Seekn4 as well as some others in this thread will happily share some rather radical claims without backing them up even the slightest if pushed just a little. In other words, people should take whatever "facts" such guys write with a barrel load of salt - at least until they can find some sources to back up their claims.
