Flat Earth Map - Poster

A poster with a patent reproduction of Alexander Gleason's new flat Earth map, which remains one of the most accurate flat Earth maps ever created.

Patent No. US497917A was published in 1893 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Patent description: "The map depicts a flat Earth with a north polar projection and includes two hands that rotate about the center of the map and enable the local time to be determined at any point on the map. The hands also include lines for determining latitude. The map shows continents, national borders, major cities, major rivers, lakes, and islands. Around the map is a dial with Roman numerals representing the 24 hours of the day. Each hour is divided by 60 lines representing minutes."

Alexander Gleason was also the author of the book "The Time of Day," published in Buffalo, USA, in 1890. Is the Bible from Heaven? Is the Earth a Globe? There is no conclusive evidence that Gleason believed the Earth was flat.

Flat Earth - Contemporary Concepts

There are numerous theories worldwide that the Earth is flat. Currently, the most well-known organization popularizing this theory is the Flat Earth Society.

In the early years, adherents of this theory met in person and published magazines. In the last 20 years, discussions have been conducted primarily on internet forums, and materials demonstrating that the Earth is flat are published on YouTube.

Flat Earthers believe the Earth is a disk centered at the North Pole, and the disk is surrounded by a 48-meter-high wall of ice. The Moon and Sun, however, are suspended 4,800 km above the disk's surface and have a diameter of only 52 km. According to flat-Earther conspiracy theorists, all evidence and research contradicting their views is fabricated, and NASA and other space agencies are responsible for concealing the true shape of our planet from the public. Some adherents also disbelieve in gravity, while others believe the disk we live on is an infinite object. Although scientific explanations exist that refute every element of flat-Earther conspiracy theories, their ranks continue to gain supporters.
