Why is that the most accepted view?
As neighbors, the ancient Hebrews had the Egyptians to the southwest and the Babylonians to the northeast. Both civilizations had flat-earth cosmologies. The Biblical cosmology closely parallels the Sumero-Babylonian cosmology, and it may also draw upon Egyptian cosmology.

Daystar Wrote:what is that opinion based upon?Well there is the word Chug you keep dragging in as sphere.
Quote:“Circle of the Earth” (Isaiah 40:22). The common view of the earth in ancient times was that it was a flat circular disc as seen in drawings from Babylon to Egypt. The sky above was a solid dome (Job 37:18). The Hebrew chug means circle or vault, not a sphere. The Bible also mentions the “circle of the sea” (Job 26:10) that surrounded the circular earth, and the “circle of the heavens” (Job 22:14).
