There is a story where the two sons of lord Shiv had a fight as who is more important and has a better reputation. Lord Shiv proposed that the one who completes a circle around the earth will be accepted as more important. This clearly shows that the ancient Hindoos had a clear concept of earth being round.
Also, according to old sanskrit text goegraphy is called 'Bhu-goal'. Bhu means earth and goal means round or spherical.
The ancient Hindoo astrological system which calculates the effect of clestial bodies on humans takes into consideration the sun, moon and the nine planets, also the equinox. It also explains that the earth and the solar system is in the 'Akash Ganga' or the milky way. not only that if one looks into the old sanskrit text if states that the earth rotates on its axis and also around the sun which is responsible for day and night and different seasons.
This old system also calculates the exact time of solar and lunar eclipses way before the western scientist could ever thought of the rotation of the earth.
The question arises what happened to that knowledge. One should not forget that India was the target of control always because of its wealth and knowledge. And everytime when the people from the outside could get their feet in this country, their main goal was to destroy the culture of hindoos. Which is evident by the destruction of Takshila and Nalanda Universities in Ancent India. Some historians have written that the library at Takshila kept burning for six months. one can easly imagine the volume of collection of books and the knowledge it contained.
If you read about the life and history of top respected Dieties and saints you will notice that all went to school for education whether it was Ram or Krishna or any other person. This proves that Hindoos realised the importance of education well before anyone in the world. The modern numbers, decimal (Sanskrit DASHMALAV SYSTEM) system, and many mathematical opetations were deveploed in India by Hindoos.
Hindoo culture and knowledge started decline after the major attack by middle east countries which started in 8th century BC.
Hindoos had a precise calculation of time. They devised the calander with twelve months, and fiftytwo weeks and 365 days. This time calculation travelled thru arabian countries to Europe which was given different names or equivalent names. for example Sunday ( sanskrit RAVI VAR WHERE RAVI= SUN VAR= DAY, MONDAY = MOON DAY = SANSKRIT SOMVAR where SOM = MOON AGAIN VAR = DAY AND SO ON). One will also be amazed anout the calculation of position and shape of various constellation in the sky was done way before the western scientists.
I will throw more light on this in my future discourses
