Did you know that the Egyptians thought the world was in the shape of a rectangle and that the heavens were held up by four giant pillars? They also warned sailors not to go to far away or you just might row off the giant rectangle called Earth. Well When the Queen of England heard this she sent 4 ships south, north, east and west to search for these "pillars". Â When they didn't find any (because the world is in the shape of a sphere) they questioned the Eygptians and they told her the pillars must have been farther than they predicted! Clever weren't they?!
