I would say that A or B would be the answer. What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

A.

I was thinking C. @pootypie @~

Or maybe B.

anonymous · Answer

That doesn't make sense because the shape of the Earth IS a sphere and that would imply that it wasn't. I would go with B.

At that time people thought that Earth was flat.

confluxepic · Answer

He overestimated the size of Europe and Asia.
