How Good Is Your Geography?? [3]
The shiny new forum needs a new Geography Thread!
As usual, the rules are simple: Answer the question correctly and then you are rewarded by posing the next question.
'Googling' typically not allowed, unless the poser says so.
OK Let's start.
Who invented Geography? It is the same guy who figured out the circumference of the Earth to within 100 miles by simply comparing the length of shadows in Greece versus Egypt (knowing the distance) at the same time on the same day. In 240AD, I believe.

Bugger, I remember it was called 'writing about the earth' or something but have no idea who it was. Should have paid more attention!

You have the correct answer (Eratosthenes) even if spelled wrong.
