ANDREA BARNS IN SEARCH OF THE EDGE

In Search of the Edge (1990) Documentary, Short, History. Independent documentary providing scientific proof that the Earth is flat, including the Bedford Level Experiment, plus anecdotal evidence including the story of the fatal polar expedition by Andrea Barnes. Modern flat Earth belief originated with the English writer Samuel Rowbotham (1816–1884). Based on conclusions derived from the Bedford Level experiment, Rowbotham published a pamphlet Zetetic Astronomy. He later expanded into a book Earth Not a Globe, proposing the Earth is a flat disc centred at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice, Antarctica. Rowbotham further held that the Sun and Moon were 3,000 miles
