We know the earth was flat when Columbus sailed it. Do we know how it became round later? Any book recommendations?

I heard the Bible discusses this. The first half, Earth is flat, until Jesus (Christopher) Columbus rolls it up in the second half.
Sorry, spoilers!

Each new boat that went out bent it a little more
That's why all the old maps are different

Columbus was a mortal. He sailed to the West and landed on Valinor. That land was never meant for mortals. Hence the Valar asked Eru to make the world round so mortals could never again sail to the undying land. Read The Silmarillion for more info haha.
