However, throughout history, many continued to support the notion of a flat Earth. Modern hypotheses supporting a flat Earth originated with English inventor Samuel Rowbotham (1816-1884). Based on his interpretation of certain biblical passages, Rowbotham published a 16-page pamphlet, which he later expanded into a 430-page book, Earth Not a Globe, expounding his views. According to Rowbotham's system, which he called "Zetetic Astronomy", the earth is a flat disc centered at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice (Antarctica), with the sun and moon 3000 miles (4800 km) and the "cosmos" 3100 miles (5000 km) above earth.
Some actual headlines from Flat Earth News during the '70s and early '80s:
"Sun Is a Light 32 Miles Across"
"Galileo Was a Liar"
"Nikita Krushchev Father of NASA" (misspelling in the original)
"The Earth Is Not a Ball; Gravity Does Not Exist"
"The Earth Has No Motion"
"Science Insults Your Intelligence"
"World IS Flat, and That's That"
"Australia Not Down Under"
"Whole World Deceived Except the Very Elect"
