Ben Stanhope shared the following image he made depicting how ancient Hebrews understood their physical world:
I might quibble about minor details – for instance, I think that when Genesis talks about the waters gathering together into one place called “seas,” it has in mind the Mediterranean and adjoining seas in the midst of the land, and not oceans as yet unexplored around the edges. But on the whole, I appreciate this artistic rendering.
