1921: The Flat Earth Theory Takes Center Stage
📰 Let’s rewind to 1921. The Evening Telegraph reports on a seismic shift in education. High schools in Zion, Illinois, USA, now teach that the Earth is flat – a circular world with a North Pole at its center. Forget the South Pole; instead, imagine a wall of ice encircling the rim, preventing mariners from falling off the edge.

The Sun: A Tiny Orb or a Cosmic Giant?
☀️ According to this theory, the sun isn’t millions of miles away. Instead, it’s a modest orb, just 32 miles across and a mere 3000 miles from Earth. The law of gravitation? A fallacy, says the State Board of Education. Objects thrown into the air rise until their force wanes, then fall back because they’re heavier than air.
