the enlightenment of the world, by John
Abizaid. chapter 1. the water. you know
that there is more water on the earth
than dry land. here's the first proof. the
water proves that the earth is flat,
level, and stationary. water is liquid it
runs always down and seeks its level and
never runs up unless by power in the
water of the ocean is every way pretty
near joined together on the earth and
they call it liquid it will not stay on
around earth take a glass of water and
pour it on a round ball and if the water
stays on then the earth must be round
but if the water falls off then the
earth must be flat this is the proof
take a pan and fill it with water and
see if it is higher in the centre than
on the sides if this is true then the
water of the ocean might be round but if
the water in the pan is flat and level
then the water of the ocean must also be
flat and level the water of the ocean is
level and can be nothing else because it
is liquid which proves that the land is
flat and not round the land is not
exactly flat and level for there are
mountains and valleys but it makes no
difference for if the mountains were in
the valleys it would leave the land flat
and level and higher than the water I
have been thinking of the question for a
long time at last I have found out for
myself from the water and the sunbeams
the sun's rising the sunlight etc that
the earth cannot be round and in motion
as books and teachers have taught the
teachers offer proofs to show that the
earth is round but the proofs they offer
amount to nothing when the children go
to school the teacher tells them the
world is round and of course they
believe in and they do not ask how it is
round they are young and they know very
little when they grow up they still
believe the earth is round and in motion
and so in turn they teach this to others
the water is flat which proves that the
earth is flat and stationary from its
fruit you will know what kind of a tree
it is you can tell by looking at a
building whether it has a good
foundation or not a judge will not take
witnesses who are far away
but those that are near him so that he
can speak to them and examine the case
and find out the truth the proofs about
the earth are found the same way the
nearer the proofs are to the mind the
better we can understand them the proofs
in this book are very good and can be
understood by anyone don't pay attention
to a faraway proof it may not be the
truth the Sun cannot throw the Earth's
shadow on the moon because sometimes
they are very near to each other this
you can tell in the evening and in the
morning by seeing the moon and the Sun
at the same time you ought not to
believe everything the professors say
because they do not know everything the
man who said that the earth was proved
round by the sight of a row of ships
upon the ocean made a mistake and what
he says is not true just because he
measured and looked at the subject in
his own way he has not proved it but
guessed at it they claim in the
geographies that when the last ship is
out of sight it is a proof that the
water is round but it is a proof the
water is flat you will see if you look
and measure in a good many different
ways as is done in this book if he was
wise enough he would measure the
steamers from different points and see
that it always comes to the same thing
like the 15 puzzle which will count 15
when added in any direction trying to
insert the figures 1 to 9 inclusive so
they will total 15 adding a cross up and
down and diagonally the key to the
puzzle is to have the right figure in
the center if you take the 5 out of the
center you cannot add them 15 every way
try and see in this way measuring the
steamers from different places proves
that the earth is flat and if you
measure from many places you can prove
nothing else it is the same way with
steamers if you don't leave one in the
center you will think the water of the
ocean is round but if you try this proof
of the steamers you will know the water
of the ocean is level and flat a person
standing on the shore sees a steamer
full thighs when it is near him but when
it goes out farther it keeps growing
smaller until it is out of sight I think
this is good proof that the water of the
ocean is round but it is not a good
proof because water is liquid
and will not stay round the distant view
shows you that it is the same as with a
book you cannot read it five yards away
from your face but near your face you
can read it plainly a person standing on
the seashore will see a large steamer
but as it goes out farther it grows
smaller and the mast of the steamer will
be shorter - but if a person stood on
the opposite shore he would see the
steamer large when near him and as it
goes out farther it grows smaller which
gives proof that the water is flat and
level and not round the far distance
will show you that there is no chance
for anybody to say that the earth is
round for as long as the water is flat
and level and straight it proves that
the land can be nothing but level and
stationary and the Sun in motion I've
read books on geography and I find they
claim that the earth is round and in
motion I've been thinking over this
matter and have read considerably in
regard to the subject I do not blame the
children or teachers but the first man
who said that the earth is round he told
the people the earth was round but did
not know for sure he only guessed at it
we do not have to believe such guesswork
as long as we have eyes to see and
bodies to feel and brains to think they
say the earth is round both land and
water and that they are always moving
around the Sun but if you ask them how
the water keeps in its bed while the
earth is turning they will tell you to
take a pail of water and swing it fast
and see for the water will not come out
until the pail is slowed down who has
seen the earth turn around in a way that
a person turns a pail no one and as long
as no one has ever seen the earth turn
you need not believe that it does so who
is turning the earth is it turning on
its axis and what kind of an axis is it
no one knows is it iron steel wood or
tin you do not want to believe such
statements that the earth is standing on
an axis for no one has seen it it is all
guesswork and nothing seen by human
beings some people say the world is
round and that God is turning the world
but very few believe it if they do they
should pay attention to his prophecies
and not to believe them as they say
about the movement of
son in the standing of the earth and so
forth if you wish to know what the earth
stands on I can say that and I believe
what I say the earth rests on water just
like a ship floats on the water this is
a good proof without a doubt I know the
earth is large and being so tremendously
large must necessarily be of tremendous
weight and a heavy body it has no power
to move in the sky around the Sun
anywhere also it cannot lay or turn on
nothing as they think try something and
let us see if you can make anything
stand or turn daily on nothing itself I
am sure you cannot do that also they
have no right proof to it as they
believe the swing of the pail is not a
correct proof either because the man
swings the pail but the pail cannot
swing itself because it has no power
also the earth cannot move on nothing
because it has no power to move try and
put some water on the outside of a pail
and I am sure you will see the water on
the ground before you begin to swing the
pail the water of the ocean is the same
thing for if the earth is round as they
say there would be no water on the earth
as all of it would fall off if the earth
is round and revolving we should feel it
also the wind would be coming from one
direction only and not from north south
east and west I have read a story in the
geography about the earth being round as
they claim it says when the ship is near
the shore a person on the shore will see
the mast high and big but as the ship
goes further out he will see it low and
smaller as if it were going downhill if
a man were standing on the steamer deck
however he would see the land low while
he would be high if there were any high
mountains near the shore and you are on
a steamer some distance from the coast
when you look toward the land the
mountains would seem to you to be low
and small but they are not it is the
distance that makes them seem so the
water is flat and level always and
cannot be anything else because it is
liquid you know of course what liquid is
and what the word means
here is another proof to show that the
water of the ocean is flat and level
suppose five steamers are in a circle
each just within
I sight of the others with another
steamer in the middle fewer in the
middle steamer looking out at the others
they will look as if they were very low
and in a hollow while you seemed to be
the highest but if you were to leave
your own steamer and go and turn to all
of the others in the circle it would
then look to you as if the steamer you
were in first were very low whichever
steamer you are on seems to you at the
time to be the highest it is not true
that one steamer is higher than the
other or that the water of the ocean is
round it is flat and nearly always
straight it is the distance that makes
the other seem lower here is still
another proof if these steamers are in a
straight line on the ocean as far apart
as the eye can reach and you are in the
middle one looking at the others on
either side then they will look as if
they were in a hollow while you seemed
to be the highest but it is true that to
the people on the other steamers it
looks as if your ship were low in the
water and their own the highest do you
think there are hills and valleys in the
ocean no no this cannot be true because
the water is liquid and therefore must
be level these are proofs to show that
the water is not round as the geography
says but that it is really flat and
level I think I have given enough proofs
to change your minds about the earth
being flat not round the water proves
that the land is stationary flat and
level chapter 2 the land the land is
solid and all in one piece joined
together under the ocean all over the
earth the earth cannot be round and in
motion as they claim in the geographies
but flat and stationary because the
water is liquid and level and it proves
that the land is flat and not moving
another proof which shows that the earth
is standing still and not moving is to
be found in the wind which they called
the atmosphere if the earth is turning
around daily it will give wind from one
direction only if you see a train
running you will find out that it is
giving wind in one direction but when it
stops the wind stops with it nobody ever
felt the wind blowing at the same rate
daily but they will feel the wind
blowing at times very hard and other
times very gently and often from
different
directions and sometimes there is a very
little wind this is good proof to show
that the earth is stationary if the
earth was in motion in one direction it
would make the wind pressure in the same
direction always you will find my proofs
right if you will only pause and think
about them this is another proof to show
you that the earth is not moving if when
you go up in a balloon or airship
starting from a certain place and going
as high as you can and when you come
down find that place gone from under you
then you may believe that the earth has
moved but if you find yourself in the
same place or not so very far away from
your starting point then it is plain
that the earth is stationary and not
moving at all and this is what really
happens if moreover the earth is turning
round and the birds or airships are
flying in the same way they will find
themselves over the same place they were
before if they fly in the opposite
direction of the turning earth they will
find themselves flying very fast and
always over different places if you
think this over you will find these
proofs correct after all the earth
cannot be round because most of it is
water and water cannot be anything but
level as I have given proofs in Chapter
one take a pan of water and turn it
upside down and I am sure the water will
fall out
also if the earth turns around the water
of the ocean would destroy a great many
cities towns and countries but the earth
cannot be turning or in motion if it is
turning we should know it immediately
because we have eyes to see bodies to
feel with and brains to think with
suppose you were riding on a train car
or boat you would know that you are on
something that is shaking when the
training or car goes uphill or downhill
you can easily tell even with your eyes
closed whether it is going up or down it
is the same way with the earth if the
earth is turning around or is in motion
we would know it from many different
things as I said before they say that
there is gravity in the earth which
holds everything on it when it turns
around they give these proofs to the
people and children in school and most
of them believe such foolish things as
that their proofs do not amount to
anything but it is all guesswork because
nobody ever felt it or saw it I was
surprised to know that some
people believe in things that were never
seen or felt but the things that they
can see and feel they pay no attention
to they say if you drop anything it will
fall down to the ground they only think
the law of gravitation takes it down oh
I am sorry for them they ought to know
better than that
they ought to know that heavy things and
all things that have no power like dead
bodies will go down themselves but some
things have power like the bird or light
things like smoke and so forth they will
go up or any way they like if there was
a law of gravity it would bring them
down also most of the people know up
from down and not not to believe this
foolish thing I feel sorry that the
children are taught about gravity and
that the earth is round and traveling
around the Sun and also that the Sun is
larger than the earth there is no
gravity at all for if there was a person
could not move a step and if a bird was
on the ground it could not fly in the
air again because the gravity would hold
it back if there is gravity it is not
everywhere and cannot hold everything
such as gas balloons airships etc here
is another proof to show that the earth
is flat and stationary if the earth is
round and in motion as they claim we
should know for when it turns around at
times we should find our heads and feet
and the world above us as though a
person were standing on a ceiling with
his head downwards and his feet up if we
were held fast to the earth by gravity
or tied by ropes we should feel it and
know which way the earth is turning with
us but there is no such thing as gravity
because no one ever felt it you must not
think that you are an intelligent being
because you know a great many things I
am sure that no person knows everything
in the world you ought not to believe
everything that people say that the
earth is round and in motion and that
the Sun is stationary and larger than
the earth etc until you have examined
the facts and found out the truth and
follow it I think I have given you
enough proofs to change your minds about
the earth being round and in motion you
will find in Chapter three proofs about
the Sun going around in a circle above
the earth Chapter three
the Sun Moon and stars
in this chapter you will find proofs to
show that the Sun Moon and stars are
always in motion I have proved in
Chapter one and two that the earth is
flat and stationary as long as the earth
is flat and stationary it will prove
that the Sun is in motion over the earth
and traveling in a circle lighting up
all the countries that it shines upon it
cannot light up all the world at once
because the earth is larger than the Sun
people think the Sun is large because
they see it through a spyglass the
spyglass you know makes everything seen
through it look large even when it is
not large and you can see the Sun round
and move circling above the earth you
will know that without any proof do not
believe that the Sun is stationary and
larger than the earth for it cannot be
larger than the earth see illustration
of Sun rising and sunbeams if the Sun is
larger than the earth it would light up
all the world at once think this over
and you will find that what I say is
correct and the proofs are correct also
if you're in a room with windows towards
the Rising Sun you will find that the
Sun always throws its rays down near the
floor and not on the ceiling I am sure
that the Rays of the Sun will never
touch on the ceiling
either morning or evening it makes no
difference if you have your room on a
high mountain the Sun will be higher its
own light proves that for itself this
will prove that the Sun is high but if
you see the sunlight on the ceiling that
will mean that the Sun is rising from a
low place or that the earth is round and
in motion but if you cannot see the
sunlight on the level ceiling that will
prove that the Sun is always high and
the earth flat and stationary the Sun is
always high and turning in a circle
above the earth in winter the Sun goes
far from us which makes the days short
and cold but in summer when it comes
back near us
it makes the days long and warm you will
know when the Sun is near you and when
it is far from you from its light also
you can tell which way it is turning in
a circle above the earth from its rising
and from its light and also you know
that by observation and if you examine
the sunlight you will find the Sun is
traveling in a circle some people say
that if they start from a certain place
and go
the earth that they would pass under the
earth and come back at the same place
they started from they think that the
earth is round like an orange also that
they have passed under the earth the
earth cannot be round for I have given a
great many proofs to show that it is
flat and level they followed the compass
and the compass always points to the
middle of the earth which we call North
they travel in a circle on a level place
near the equator and they think they are
going around the earth in a circle but
they are really travelling on a flat and
level ways it cannot be any other way if
they started on a steamer and went south
without a compass they would get lost
and find nothing but water ice and
darkness here is another good sign that
shows that the Sun is very high and
smaller than the earth when the Sun is
rising in the United States of America
it will look as though it is rising from
a low place but the people in Europe
will see the Sun very high over their
heads about noontime also the people in
Asia Minor will see the Sun very low in
the afternoon do not think that there is
a hollow between Asia Minor and the
United States because the Sun looks low
to the people in Asia and to us in USA
but high to the people in Europe no no
there is no Hollow but it is all level
for the great distance from here to the
Sun shows you that the meaning of a B C
D and E on the lines of the sunbeams in
the illustration of the position of the
Sun the first line of the Sunbeam a
means when you first see the Sun in the
morning it seems to you the Sun is
rising from a low place if you examine
any shadow or your own shadow you will
see the shadows long when the Sun is
coming from a great distance but when
the Sun comes near you your shadow will
be short examine the sunbeams in your
own shadow you will soon know that the
Sun is round high and in motion smaller
than the earth and moving in a circle
above it B means in the a.m. when the
Sun has come nearer to you and is
shining more directly over you and you
feel it warmer your shadow is shorter
and is passing by you you will see that
this is correct if you will take the
time and watch it C means midday
at that time the Sun is nearest to you
you will see it above your head and you
will feel warmer and your shadow will be
shorter than at any other time D means
in the p.m. you will see that your
shadow is growing longer because the Sun
is moving from over you he means that
the Sun is going to a great distance
from you you feel cooler and your shadow
is growing longer and turning in a
circle if you measure the sunbeams and
your shadow before sunset you will see
that the Sun is always high and in
motion passing in a circle above the
earth from one country to another and
also you will see the moon and stars
before sunset and after in the
illustration of the Sun rising and the
sunbeams you will see that the Sun is
round and smaller than the earth also
that it is moving in a circle above
every place reached by its light when
the Sun leaves a place it changes from
day to night and in the place where it
was night it will be day pay attention
to these proofs the first shows that the
Sun is very high the second shows that
the Sun is smaller than the earth for if
it is larger than the earth the people
in Europe would see the Sun above their
heads while the people in America would
see it above their heads and both at the
same time the third shows that the earth
is flat and level this is another proof
to show you that the Sun is going around
in circles above the earth when the Sun
is rising you will never see it coming
straight to you but going in a circle
always to the right above your head you
will find that from the shadows of your
house or the sunlight when it shines
into your room etc I know that the Sun
is smaller than the earth and in motion
how I am a circle above the earth you
will know that by looking at the
sunbeams here is a good proof about the
Sun that everybody can try at home place
your lamp on the table and place your
hand at the side of the lamp you will
see the shadow of your hand on the wall
and if you place your hand over the lamp
you will see the shadow of your hand on
the ceiling and if you place your hand
below the lamp you will see the shadow
of your hand on the floor if you watch
the sunbeams
you will know that the Sun is smaller
than the earth and always in motion in a
circle high above the earth and after
all if you want to know which moves
the earth of the Sun you must take time
to stop awhile and watch them both here
is another proof to show you that the
earth is flat and stationary and the Sun
in motion if you can see you are filled
the earth turning down on one side and
up on the other then you are right and
the earth is in motion and the Sun
stationary but if you cannot see you or
feel this than the earth is stationary
and the Sun is in motion and if the
earth is always level on every side of
you it means that the earth is flat if
you will take time to think you will
find out the truth for yourself when I
have shown you the way I do not want you
to believe it because I say so
but I want to show you how things are
and if you will pay attention you will
know what is right as well as I do if
the Sun is stationary we would feel the
earth turning from many different things
first the houses and posts would lean to
one side with the land and we would see
one direction low and the other
direction high if you see the land low
on one side and high on the other side
then the Sun is stationary but if it is
not then the Sun is in motion if you
cannot see or feel the earth turning
then it is stationary and the Sun is
turning you will know from the water of
the ocean that the Sun is moving above
it for if the earth is turning upside
down there would be no water in the
ocean they say that the Sun is bigger
than the earth but I found out from the
sunbeams that the Sun is smaller than
the earth if the Sun was bigger than the
earth the people that live in Asia the
people that live in Europe the people
that live in Africa and in America would
see the Sun above their heads at the
same time there will be noontime all
over it will make no difference if the
earth were flat or round we would never
see the Sun over our heads when the
people in other countries had noontime
suppose there were 10 people under one
umbrella the same size is one we use now
do you suppose they would all see the
umbrella over their heads no they cannot
see it above their heads because the
umbrella is too small to cover them all
but if they have a big umbrella it will
cover all 10 people and all will see it
above their heads if there were an
umbrella as big as a town it
cover all the people that live in a town
and all the people who live in the town
would see it over their heads and that
is the way with the Sun if the Sun were
bigger than the earth it would shine on
the whole earth and all the people in
the whole earth would see it over their
heads at the same time this is a good
proof from the sunbeams and the umbrella
and you will find it a good proof that
the Sun is smaller than the earth and in
motion and the moon and stars are also
smaller and in motion the earth is flat
and stationary as I have proven it
before the Sun we can compare with a
parasol if the parasol was large enough
it could cover the whole world just so
the Sun it is not large enough to throw
light over the whole world at one time
the Indian is looking at the proof of
the parasol he compares the Sun with a
parasol by saying that if the parasol
were large enough I could see it above
my head too also the same with the Sun
if it were large enough it could cover
the earth and the people no matter where
they were located could see it at the
same time above their heads they used to
say about five hundred years ago that
the earth was flat and stationary and
the Sun was in motion but they had no
proofs like those I have in my book this
is the reason they changed their minds
but now you must wake up and judge the
truth for yourself read everything I say
in this book and you will find it just
right there is no guesswork in my book
as in the geographies you do not have to
believe what I say in this book because
you have eyes to see with bodies to feel
with and brains to think with the
geography says that the earth is turning
but no one has ever seen a turn or felt
it but they can see that the earth is
flat and stationary the geography also
says that the Sun is stationary but no
one has ever seen it standing on
anything at all
there is no use believing such foolish
talk as we have read in the geographies
the geography has no good proofs but
only guesswork which amounts to nothing
at all
there is no sense believing professors
because they made a big mistake by
telling the people that the earth is
round and in motion in the Sun
stationary we do not blame them for this
mistake because everyone makes mistakes
this book is called the enlightenment of
the world because it will wake everyone
up and correct this mistake the Sun does
not rise from a low place
it appears to do examine your own shadow
or any shadow in the morning and again
in the afternoon and you will find the
Sun always is higher than you just as
the sky is above you the earth and sky
do not meet as they seem to do it is
only the distance that makes it appear
so anything at a distance from you seems
low anything near seems high this is a
proof that the earth and sky do not meet
if you stand in a field on a foggy day
you will see that near at hand the fog
is higher than you are but a little
further off it looks low and touches the
ground no matter where you stand
the fog appears in the same way and the
earth and sky do not seem to meet and
that is just like the fog around you
examine it and you will find what I say
is correct
I started from Boston in a steamer going
to New York City as I neared the city I
happened to see two bridges ahead of me
just as I was passing under the first
bridge I found that it was very high
then I looked at the other bridge and I
found that it looked very low almost
touching the water but when we reached
the second bridge I found it as high as
the other bridge so I looked back at the
first bridge we passed under and found
that it looked very low almost touching
the water then I knew that both of the
bridges were high but that it was the
distance that made them seem low it is
the same if you go on land for instance
suppose there is a long clear road with
telegraph poles the same distance from
each other you look at the one nearest
to you and you will find a high but the
next one looks lower and next one still
lower and so they seem to be growing
shorter and shorter until you cannot see
them at all but it is not true that the
poles are lower as they look it is only
the distance that makes them seem so
just like masts of the ship on the water
this may also apply to the sky the Sun
is the same way when the Sun is rising
and setting it looks as though it were
very low it is not low but high always
and it is the distance that makes it
seem low when the Sun is over our heads
it looks very high because it is near us
the Sun being of a limited capacity can
throw its rays only on a certain portion
of the earth at one time it is similar
to an umbrella
with a limited capacity to cover a
certain number of people of course you
can make an umbrella to cover hundreds
of people if needed but the Sun remains
a certain size always and can either be
made large or small for it is the work
of God whereas the umbrella is the work
of human beings the earth has been and
will always be flat and there are
several proofs and those proofs I claim
you will find in this chapter that I
have given some proofs about the Sun pay
attention to every word you read in this
book you must not believe anyone who
says the earth is round for you are not
crazy nor a child do not believe without
a correct proof children may believe
stories but now that you are old enough
wake up
you cannot make water nor anything else
stay on a round ball it is the same way
with the earth you cannot make the ocean
stay on around earth without falling off
no matter what people may tell you there
is more water than dry land on the earth
and the water being liquid cannot be
anything else as I proved in Chapter one
do not let anybody fool you by telling
you that the earth is round as long as
there is no proof that the earth is
round you must believe that it is flat
and stationary if you have a good mind
why don't you try and get the best
knowledge and follow it if you are smart
why don't you wake up and have the best
for yourself if I were you I would not
allow anybody to fool me don't be afraid
to change your mind when you find that
you have been mistaken by following the
wrong way if you wish to know whether
the earth is flat or round read this
work carefully and you will find proofs
that the earth is flat and nothing else
in this book we have given you facts
that show that the water the wind the
land and the Sun itself give you their
own proofs use your own body to feel
with your own eyes and brains to see and
understand these proofs so much for
