You probably have come across a globe map of the earth. If you have, you either came across a globe mounted on a fulcrum, such that it could rotate any which way you choose, or a globe mounted between two beams that limited directionality of rotation of the globe.

Given the earth rotates in a specific direction, that is, about an invincible axis line, while a globe mounted on a fulcrum enables kids explore all of the different sections of the earth, a globe mounted between two beams is a more realistic rendition of rotation of the earth. Regardless of whether a globe map of the earth rests on a fulcrum, or is mounted between beams, either of the fulcrum or the beams are supported by some sort of base, equivalently, by some sort of wooden or stone support (foundation).

As the story goes, the following verse from Christian Scriptures supposedly asserts that the earth is flat. The verse reads as follows (words in brackets mine in spirit of an amplified reading of Christian Scriptures).
