There is no point in time or place when the horizon is not level, sorry. Given - both the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster's agree that the
visible horizon is the point (or series of Points - my words) where the sea and
the sky appear to meet.
Many, but not all people, believe that the world is round, thus their
perception must be that the horizon curves.
Experience - whilst working in Europe for an American company one
encounterd the view that some Americans feared that if they crossed the outer
borders of their continent they would fall off.
