we just perceive it as 3D because the way our eyes absorb light and transfer the data to our brains. Thats why its so easy to draw a box into a cube because it's not 2D to 3D (mathematically it is) but physically the actual drawing is always flat.
(flat images viewed by your flat eye on a flat computer)
This picture looks "3D" like everything is encased withing a cylindrical grid but that is actually not the case.
Now lets say you are actually viewing a lion in a cage in real life
Clearly the Lion is on top of the grass, and behind a cage. You can perceive the depth because it does exist and you are viewing it all in one clear picture with your eyes. You can put your finger in front of your eye and it will always be in front of the cage, unless you put your hand behind the cage and view it on the other side.
It might seem like you are interacting with a 3D world and viewing the 2D image of this but its actually a 2D world.
Our mind crates the depth between objects and their arrangement, its all just an illusion. Thats why you see fractals and trippy shit when you do certain drugs because thats actually what reality looks like when your brain can't trick itself into viewing everything as 3D.

It's crazy because people didn't actually believe the Earth was flat back in the day. There are A LOT of maps showing that people mostly knew they hadn't exactly mapped the globe.
Columbus thought that shit was empty. At first he believed he went off course and landed in Japan. But he was actually solidly on course, his theory was just wrong about there being nothing.
Then as it came out, and more was charted, we had maps where basically the pacific ocean was tiny and the americas only had east coasts. Maps from this era are interesting because the dimensions and locations of things are so off, it's a wonder they found ANYTHING.
Imagine crossing the ocean without GPS, but also without accurate maps.
Really its fucking incredible people used to travel hundreds of miles to sack cities. I don't know if everybody was asking for directions or what but I feel like it was probably pretty easy to accidentally pillage the wrong place.

Spherecucks are the worst. They've never even seen a circular earth, but they genuinely believe their bullshit. It's pathetic.
All the evidence shows that the earth is in fact not only flat, but the fixed point around which the various astronomical points pivot (nothing "orbits").
