Mary of Agreda (1602-1665) wrote of an egg-shaped Earth. Thus Mary lived at the time the Church condemned the fixed-sun solar system as formal heresy followed by its decrees ending in 1664, one year before her birth with Pope Alexander VII's Bull confirming by his papal authority all the anti-Copernican decrees (banning books etc) were to be placed on the index to be obeyed by all.
Some may not be aware but the shape of the Earth had a very important part in establishing the heretical Heliocentrism and the evolution of the Earth as scientific fact, as they like to believe.
Newton claimed the Earth, because it spins in the heliocentric model, had to have as bulge around the center or equator.
Here is another such assertion: ‘The Earth is a sphere flattened at the poles and with a bulge at the equator; this figure is called an ellipsoid of revolution. In order to account for its present shape, we must call upon what is known as ‘centrifugal force,’ and we must also make the hypothesis that in its earlier history [post Big Bang] the Earth was much nearer the fluid state than it is now.' Larousse Encyclopedia, 1959, p.78.’
There was however, one man who did not fall for Newton's heliocentrism, his theory of gravity, his solar-system, nor his heliocentric shape of the Earth, God's astronomer and surveyor, Domenico Cassini (1625-1712), who lived 40 years of Mary of Agreda'a time. Cassini decided to examine the shape of the Earth using the science of geodesy. King Louis XIV approved and financed the test and with his son Jacques measured the arcs of meridian for the northern hemesphere. To cut a long story short they found the earth narrower at the sides and more pointed at the poles.
This suggested that if this trend occurred in the southern hemisphere, the Earth has to be a prolate spheroid, not flattened at the poles as Newton proposed, but the opposite, slightly pointed, with the equatorial axis shorter than the polar axis, that is, kind of egg-shaped. In 1720, the Cassinis published their findings.
This prolate spheroid, of course, was completely at odds with Newton’s oblate spheroid. Nevertheless, in spite of the Cassinian measurements, and we are talking about two of the most respected surveyors and measuring astronomers in the world at the time, the British scientists, William Whiston, freemason John Theophilus Desaguliers, and John Keill continued to acclaim Newton’s theory as the true one. Again to make a long story short, the Freemasons were not having it so they sent out their surveyors to 'correct' the Cassinian result and by by hook and crook made the Cassinian shape look false and Newton's correct. and that is how it remained for centuries until 1959 another measurement for the Earth was achieved this time using a satellite called Vanguard. This found the Nt Pole higher and the side narrower, confirming Cassini's Nt hemesphere shaped like an egg.Later, it was speculated that because of the constant movement of the stars, an absolute 100% accuracy cannot be confirmed. Nevertheless, neither have Mary of Agreda nor Domenico Cassini been proven wrong in their egg-shaped earth that contradicts Newton's spinning Earth and its evolution from paste and star dust.
