Funny Earth, what did the earth look like in the eyes of ancient people?
Although the earth is our home, in the early days, people knew nothing about the earth. If you want to know something unknown, you must explore it. Exploration is human nature. But you know what? The earth in the eyes of ancient people is full of interesting things. First of all, ancient Chinese people seem to have always believed that the world is a round sky and a square place. In this theory, our earth is held up by a giant turtle, and the sky is like a transparent The cover is buckled to the ground.
The land is surrounded by the ocean. But in addition, there is also the theory of Huntian theory in China, which believes that our world is spherical, floating in the air, or a world in a water ball, maybe It can spin and float, which is the so-called "the earth has four directions." This statement is somewhat similar to the walking ball on water we see today.
In addition to the ancient Babylonians in China who believed that the earth was a hollow mountain, the mountain It is surrounded by sea water and has a waterproof gate on the top. The water will open every once in a while, which is what we see as rain. The ancient Egyptians believed that the world was held up by two people. Something similar to the round sky in China is the ancient Indians. They believed that the world existed on an inverted bowl. Under the bowl was an elephant, under the elephant was a tortoise, and the world as a whole was surrounded by cobras, which held each other head and tail. The cobra represents water.
