Eratosthenes' experiment could just as easily prove a smaller, closer sun

The best proof is that you can look at the Sun and the moon with your eyes (maybe use a filter for the sun) and see them not change size throughout their path along the sky, which proves that they aren't getting appreciably closer or farther
