Pythagoras, who wrote in Greek before Christ, confirmed that the earth is round. (570 - 495 BC). Likewise, Plato and Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) emphasized the sphericity of the Earth.

In the Bible, the following verse reads: “He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth” (Isaiah 40:22) -NIV

Considering that the official Roman language was Greek Roman, they studied this heritage well and understood that the Earth was spherical centuries before the West understood this fact.

Also, the double-headed eagle, the symbol of the ancient Rome, holds a "Globus Cruciger" Orb in its hand.

- They also told you, that the ancient people thought the Earth was fixed and that it was the center of the universe, and that the sun revolved around the earth. And they taught you that the Church persecuted the scholars who considered the sun the axis of the universe. (Such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galilee).

This is also false propaganda.

This is because the attackers only looked at the Latin Church of the West .. and generalized .. they did not look at the Greek Churches of the East.

The truth is that Aristarchus of Samos (310-230 BC) wrote in Greek centuries ago about "the centrality of the sun" and said, "The earth revolves around the sun and around itself, and from this rotation it alternates night and day."

As for his teacher, Philolaus (470 - 385 BC), he affirmed that the universe is very broad and that Earth is not the center of the universe. Likewise, Seleucus of Seleucia, a Greek philosopher from the second century BC, affirmed that "the earth revolves around the sun."

It is true that the ancient Greek scholars did not agree on this theory, and it is true that the West did not know these facts until late (in the sixteenth and seventeenth century with Nicolaus Copernicus 1473-1543 AD, and Galilee 1570-1612 AD), and it is true that the Western Latin Church persecuted scholars for a while... .

However, in the East, especially in the Byzantine Rome, because of their Roman (Greek) language, studied all this prolific scientific output of the ancient philosophers of Greece, and passed it on to new generations.

The Byzantine Roman Church accepted science, and did not persecute the scholars. Rather, the universities of Constantinople taught this ancient philosophical product and prepared the world for the age of reason.

The scholars considered that the fall of Constantinople, "the capital of Byzantine Romans" in 1453 AD, emigrated its scholars to Western Europe to flee from the Ottomans, carrying with them thousands of ancient Greek "Roman" manuscripts, which the West studied ... so it produced its scientific revolution ... and gave birth to Nicolaus Copernicus and Galilee..
