Bible is an old document. People are aware that some parts of it are no longer valid while the rest still holds true.

more likely translation of words and meanings have changed as we have greater understanding of ancient writings.

What? It's the ancient people that had more understanding of ancient writings, because they spoke it. Today, people just interpret books like the bible any way they want. The Jehovah Witnesses figured from ancient scriptures the world was gonna end and even gave dates. They were wrong 9 times and still don't give up.

The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl is common in pre-scientific societies.

Many ancient cultures? No. ALL ancient cultures thought the world was flat. They did not have the knowledge to know better. Even Jesus thought the world was flat, because he did not have 1st grade modern education.
