Unfortunately, it’s way dumber than that

The north pole is the middle of the map and the moon goes in circles like the sun. The incredible brightness of the sun is not visible after it’s passed ~~visibly over the horizon~~ round in a flat circle and neither is the moon. It is not explained how the sun goes definitively down over the horizon from one geographical perspective and up into the sky from another based on this flat disk.

I saw an animation once where the sun sort of dipped and peaked above and below the world disc horizon. Total mental gymnastics

The explanation is that light is affected by gravity to a much greater degree than in conventional physics.

It’s called perspective and the vanishing point /s

I’ve also heard a fucking flat rectangle theory.
