There were some cultures who believed the earth was flat and sat on the back of an animal there were some who were aware that the Earth was round.
The Egyptians, Phoenicians, Dogon, Isrealities and those in the Islamic world knew the Earth was round.
Al Biruni was a mathematician who calculated the circumferential of the Earth.
Bede the venerable described the Earth as being a sphere. "the roundness of the Earth, for not without reason is it called 'the orb of the world' on the pages of Holy Scripture and of ordinary literature. It is, in fact, set like a sphere in the middle of the whole universe." (De temporum ratione, 32)
