On an aside, but didn't the Greeks and Egyptians determine the curvature of the earth long before the bible could be created?
Yes for the New Testament, generally no to the Old Testament. Fundamentalists, in line with tradition, claims that the Pentateuch was written approximately in 12th century BCE. Academics disagree, and date different portions of the Torah to different dates, generally dating the Pentateuch to around 7th century BCE.

The first person to measure the circumference of the Earth is generally agreed to be Eratosthenes of Cyrene who lived in approximately 250 BCE.
