The more learned of his contemporaies certainly knew the world was not flat, nor the dead could come back to life.
But Jesus and his ilk were amongst the least learned of his illerate and ignorant age.
That's why no one in Roman, Greek or Jewish intellectual circles paid attention to Jesus while he was alive; they knew a crank when they saw (or heard about) one, and he was not worth mentioning, even in passing.
