Keep up rolling out these "historical" quest lines with dusty narratives and actually contribute to keeping the people stupid.
Claiming at this day and age, Galilei *discovered* the heliocentric built of our solar system is like still claiming Columbus discovered the Americas or Pythagoras invented trigonometry.
Proof stands, among many other sites, in Giza to this day. Supposedly built some 4500 years ago, probably much older, the Great Pyramid (called Khufu's) is not actually a true geometric pyramid but a pyramidoid eight-sided star which becomes apparent on only two days within the solar cycle, the two equinoxes when one half of two opposing sides lay in shadow while the other half shines in reflected sunlight. This GB ^^ is exactly aligned to true north to a miniscule deviation of five hundredth of a degree, leveled to a very few centimeters on its base which even today could only be achieved with laser instruments, same inside, the King's Chamber leveled to a tenth millimeter. The GB's peak is positioned at 29°58'45" N which translates to decimal 29.9792°, pretty close to 30°, wouldn't you agree? Ha, pretty imperfect Neanderthals, right? Wait am minute, what travels at 299,792 kilometers per second? Laser for example, this is the speed of light in vacuum, correct. Perfectly aligned on the north-south-axis we have two shafts (of the supposed "air shafts"), one points to Sirius, one to Orion's belt, three stars whose relative position is exactly mirrored by the relative position of the (biggest) three Giza pyramids, not as the stars are today, not 4500 but 12500 years ago at which time, incidentally, the Sphinx would have faced her astrological counterpart, Leo, at the vernal point.
The fun does not end there by far, in this building and many others around the world we find find incorporated amazingly precise numbers of mathematics and astronomy, which are supposedly found much later, most only recently in comparison, we find pi, phi, distances between the sun and other planets, mind you, *all* other planets, even Pluto, circumferences of the sun and the planets, rotation periods. There are some Sumerian tablets talking about the planets and how another planet between Mars and Jupiter was destroyed in the distant past (asteroid belt anyone?), a chain of events which also prompted the separation of then-moon Pluto from Uranus (I believe, my reading of this was some time ago), one of the, as they called them, "giant watery twins". So those guys not only knew of Uranus and Neptune, they knew what they looked like. Well, Hubble surely isn't *that* old despite nagging rumors...
Okay, many words, one simple conclusion leading to a suggestion:
At the very most, Galilei *re*discovered said things after the Dark Ages thanks to the Roman Catholic Church, very probably these things were known all along but traded in secret for a long time (see masonry art in important buildings all through the Middle Ages), Galileo Galilei was just the guy who couldn't keep his mouth shut. Nomen est Omen, as the (Roman) saying goes, well, his Name does translate to "the agitated/ roaring lion of Galilee (land of the truth-telling preacher)". Why not at least acknowledge the not so new scientific evidence? Nobody's saying he didn't impress a lot of people ...although, at his time, he inspired more fiery vengeance than scientific work. A liiittle more broadened minds, please, you know, like Galilei would have it. Perspective for the whole of history, not singular fairy tales aimed at creating modern icons to be worshiped. Remember Moses, people. ;-)
