The Real Red Pill: the Earth is a globe, but the Northern Hemisphere looks like the flat earth map. There's nothing on the Southern Hemisphere except Purgatory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatorio
>They arrive at the shore of the Mountain of Purgatory—the only land in the Southern Hemisphere—at 6 am on Easter Sunday,[2] which is 6 pm on Sunday in Jerusalem, since the two points are antipodal. Dante describes Hell as existing underneath Jerusalem, having been created by the impact of Lucifer's fall; the Mountain of Purgatory was created by a displacement of rock caused by the same event.
...
>The Purgatorio demonstrates the medieval knowledge of a spherical Earth,[11][12] with Dante referencing the different stars visible in the Southern Hemisphere, the altered position of the sun, and the various time zones of the Earth. For instance, at the start of Canto II, the reader learns that it is dawn in Purgatory; Dante conveys this concept by explaining that it is sunset at Jerusalem (antipodal to the Mount of Purgatory), midnight (six hours later) over India on the River Ganges (with the constellation Libra overhead there), and noon (six hours earlier) over Spain. The journey is conceived as taking place during the vernal equinox, when the days and nights are of the same length.
