When did you first learn that the world is round?

I admit I only learned it from school and the books I read back when I was about 6 or 7 years of age in the early 1990s. I was never clever enough to prove the world was round using my own intuition....

In elementary school we learned that Christopher Columbus realized the world was not flat when he sailed the earth.

Don't believe everything you hear or read. The earth is not round. We never landed on the moon. Elvis is alive as is Marilyn Monroe.

with all the pills Elvis and Marilyn were taking I doubt they are still alive.
