In 1892, Alexander Gleason released his iconic “New Standard Map of the World,” a flat earth map that challenged the traditional notion of a spherical earth. This map, which gained popularity among flat earth believers, depicted the earth as a flat, circular disk with the North Pole at the center and the continents spread out around it.

Gleason’s map was based on the belief that the earth is flat and stationary, with the sun and moon revolving around it. This perspective was in stark contrast to the prevailing scientific consensus that the earth is a sphere that orbits the sun.

Despite being widely criticized by the scientific community, Gleason’s map became a symbol of the flat earth movement and has been referenced by flat earth believers ever since. Its simple yet striking design continues to captivate those who question the conventional understanding of the earth’s shape.

While Gleason’s New Standard Map of the World may not align with mainstream scientific understanding, it remains a fascinating artifact of the history of alternative beliefs about the shape of our planet.
