The History of Astronomy in the Ancient World

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

What do you think might have happened if Aristarchus’ Heliocentric model had been accepted in his time?

Is very great.Thanks very much.

It’s unfortunate that the idea of Aristarchus regarding Heliocentric was rejected. It would have saved a lot of time accurately developing astronomy. Still, the accomplishments of these early astronomers are really remarkable. Thanks for the great video.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thanks, as always, for watching!

You don’t know that it would done that. His heliocentric hypothesis was not much more accurate than the accuracy of ancient atomists. The idea sounds accurate from today, but the theory itself was full of holes and absurdities.

[@4CardsMan]

The problem with the heliocentric model was that it did not accurately predict motion as well as Ptolemy's geocentric model using the mathematics available then.

I want to know what tools they used for their observations and measurements.

@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia Thanks. I don't see anything to enlighten me yet but I'll keep looking through them.

In india, from ancient time we worships nava grahas (9 planets if we include sun too).

Very interesting. Thanks for watching!

Can any1 tell me the order by each part of the video like: Stonehenge, Aristolte and etc ??

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

We cover quite a lot. 😉

Pre-Socratics are those who had a system of beliefs before that of Socrates, not that lived before him.

Very interesting!

[@kurtiscobain3224]

I think we would be ahead in our universal understanding, but we most likely wouldn’t know any more that 10% of everything in the universe. (If Aristarchus’s heliocentric model was accepted)

[@starcapture3040]

Eratosthenes experiment it turn out to be impossible to be done at his time

[@venkataponnaganti]

How about ancient India?

[@wheresmyeyebrow1608]

Too bad I can’t see 90% of this stuff cause of where I live lol

[@wcovey9405]

I enjoyed this video very much. Understand what I'm saying here. It is Thales, it's Thales, it is all his doing. Thales traveled about his world to learn. Going here and there and then he brought it home, improved on what he learned and the schooled others, one of which was Pythagoras, who also traveled the world to learn and setup shop where he did. It is all about Thales, yes, it is. Thales interduce "Geometry" and its ways to the west; laws and poofs and other stuff, the proof of the right triangle within a circle. Look at the temples built in Greece and Rome from his time onward. All of that just to say, in geometry the reference point does not move. When on Earth looking up to the sky, everything is moving in relationship to the looker (the geo system) not only that the looker is at the center of it all, employing the laws of gravity and movement the Sun becomes the center or is it the galaxy core. By what law are you use to setup the reference point?

Greeks were late comers and did not look at the sky's with scientific eyes, yeah you definitely have no clue what your talking about
