Hi Lori, Hmm. I think it would help if you went and re-read the entire Wikipedia article carefully, along with the "Talk" page. "Myth of the Flat Earth" says right in the beginning that they are focused on Western Cultural myth int he middle ages. So it won't be worth your time to find out how other cultures thought of the flat earth (at least for this class...)

Additionally, your sources, if you looks closely, are not about the belief that the world was flat at all. One is about apocalyptic sects and the other is actually about Croatia. They won't help you. Did you look up "Flat Earth" on Gale? Please use the BC library website and let me know next week what you find. Springerhe (talk) 00:36, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

{dashboard.wikiedu.org sandbox}} After reading through the article I would like to explore several different perspectives on the myth of the flat earth. I would like to find information on how this myth is perpetuated in other cultures and how this effected the literal world view. I would also like to see if geography had any influence on different cultures regarding the flat earth myth.
