:: All we know about Ptolemy is what is in his books. I don't want to attribute some view to him unless it is actually stated in one of his books. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 13:30, 3 November 2008 (EST)

::: Yes, from AD 150 to 1700 or so. Ptolemy's book was the chief explanation of the geocentric view. When you wrote, "However, during the 1500s and 1600s, it became clear that the theory had some serious flaws in it.", I figured that you were referring to Ptolemy's theory.
