People in the distant past also knew the earth was spinning. It doesn’t even require any mathematical skill to realize that the way the sun appears to rise and fall in an arc at your given location probably indicates you are on the relatively moving object. Sure, maybe some of them thought it was a flat disc, perhaps, but i bet they mostly thought earth was spinning.
