Martin Behaim, in the same year that Columbus sailed west.
For example, when
Martin Behaim in the 1400s declared that the earth was round instead of flat (as had been suggested by Greek mathematicians such as Eratosthenes centuries earlier) and Christopher Columbus discovered the new world in 1492, there were many people unwilling to believe these new discoveries and openly worked to dispute and dissuade people from believing that the concept of the world was changing.
