Source: Christopher Columbus Never Set Out to Prove the Earth was Round
Summary
Despite popular belief, it is not true that Christopher Columbus and his patrons believed the Earth was flat. Greek scholars as early as the 6th century B.C. had already discovered the planet was round. Columbus predicted he would land in Asia but believed the circumference of Earth was much smaller. The myth that Columbus believed in a flat earth theory was invented by Washington Irving much later in 1828.
