When looking at the moon from our distant perspective on earth we see the moon and all other planets in a 2D perspective.

This made mankind question (Eventually after long centuries of thought) are the planets really just flat 2D objects (Remember at this time before realising the planets where round people also thought earth was flat because all planets they saw where flat) or coyuld they perhaps like what we see at the small scale on earth be 3Dimensional like us humans and rocks and water and plants. So they took on a new perspective and through mathematics they realised that the planets where truly round. And following this realised earth was truly round by gaining a new perspective.

If mankind is to flourish and evolve we must develope new perspectives or else we get nowhere so all things considered viewing the earth as flat would be an ancient perspective, not a modern one backed by science astrophysics and mathematics.
