If they thought it had edges why didn't think there was an other side to it. Why didn't anyone look for it ?Seeking a few clarifications:
Who are the 'they' you are referring to?
Where do you find the concept of 'an edge to the sky'?

By "they" I mean early Christians and Jews.
And the word firmament is used during creation serveral times
The firmament is the sky, conceived as a solid dome by my logic that means it has an edge and an other side
Genesis Chapter 1 : 6: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8: And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
