Yes.
In fact, it is clear that Paul and the other disciples believed that the World was flat, like a pancake. This is one of the many reasons why the Roman aristocracy ignored them.
So if I took you and put you in Paul world with nothing more than the cloths on your back you'd be running the planet as a God inside two weeks?
Or would you die of starvation because you do not know any of the basics of survival or would not even know how to beg?
A true measure of intelligence is not based on just pointless facts. It is the ability to live if not thrive in any situation based on one's ability to learn and adapt.
How stupid would you be in 1 century wearing you modern cloths and shoes (putting people off just by the sight of you) spouting out how smart you are in a language no one has ever heard, dying in 3 days of thirst, because you do not know how to tap the natural water supply nor can you communicate well enough to ask someone for help..
That said you are right the earth is round...
