    Eratosthenes was born in 267 BC. How could he have known there was no shadow at Syene, and at the same instant, a very substantial shadow at Alexandria? Very fast carrier pigeons? String can telephone? Flares?

    Or an assistant with a sundial and calendar, with explicit instructions to perform a shadow measurement on a certain day/time

    Either that or he's part of the conspiracy, too

    My uncle worked for NASA for 30 something years. High ranks.It was really cool for me growing up all before 9/11/01 of course and going behind the scenes. Wouldn't give up those years up for anything.

    Hell I even had a summer job at NASA through him.

    He measured the angle of shadows in a well at noon, on the same day at different degrees of latitude.

    Pretty cool actually.
