what did aristotle believe earth was made of
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher who lived between 384-322 B.C. He was one of the greatest thinkers of the world and his written works encompassed all major areas of thought. Aristotle mistakenly believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe and made up of only four elements: earth, water, air, and fire.
Although many people believe that the flat-earth idea was common until recent times, and that the Bible encouraged this belief, that doesn't seem to be so. We did a study of 5000 writings back to the time of Plato and Aristotle, and could not find one writer who said the earth is flat.
