Er, no. Unless you had made the measurements standing on the edge of the disk, but then you would be falling off, wouldn't you...

Their measurements showed that at a given (same) instant the sun's height over the horizon is different at two distant locations (let's say, SF and NY). There is no (obvious) way you can explain this if the earth was a flat surface.
