# The Origin Of Heliocentrism

is the sun deity Atum-Ra in Egyption mythology.

In contrast to the modern misconception, the key people of the
scientific revolution were highly religious. They were just rather
inclined to Neoplatonism and Hermeticism than the Catholic church.

And those religions came from ancient Egypt in the end. Pythagoras
and Plato have visited Heliopolis many times. The city of the sun
in Egypt. That heavily influenced them.

As a result, there was already the central fire named as Hestia in
the Pythagorean astronomical system. Though it was not the sun
itself. The earth and the sun were both planets for the star Hestia.
But at least it was not geocentrism.

Those Renaissance scientists just continued it.
