His or her name has not been recorded. Undoubtedly most early people believed the earth was flat because that's how they perceived it.

He is the first to have speculated the Earth is flat in writing, at least the writings we know about. He viewed the universe as a cylinder, with Earth being one end of the cylinder. By six hundred years later, around 4BC, few philosphers believed in the Flat Earth anymore.
