** Herodotus describes the world as flat. However, one story he relates is interesting. The Phoenecians claimed to have sailed around the tip of Africa, from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, and they say the Sun was on their right side while passing the southernmost point. Herodotus dismisses the claim, but this is exactly what actually happens: the Sun is found in the northern sky in the Southern Hemisphere.

** Herodotus describes the world as flat. However, one story he relates is interesting. The Phoenecians claimed [[FlatWorld flat]]. On writing about a Phoenician expedition to have sailed around circumnavegate Africa commissioned by the tip of Africa, from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, and they say the Sun was on their right side while passing the southernmost point. Egyptian Pharaoh Necho, Herodotus dismisses says that the claim, Phoenicians claimed that "as they sailed on a westerly course round the southern end of Libya (Africa), they had the sun on their right", but clarifies that he doesn't believe this is exactly true. Today, this very claim is the strongest evidence of the story being real, as this is indeed what actually happens: the Sun is found in the northern sky would have happened if they were in the Southern Hemisphere.
