Hipparchus, also spelled Hipparchos (b. , Nicaea, Bithynia [now Iznik, Turkey]-d. after 127 bc , Rhodes?), Greek astronomer and mathematician who made fundamental contributions to the advancement of astronomy as a mathematical science and to the foundations of trigonometry.Cladius PtolemyGreek astronomer and mathematicianModeled the movements of the Sun, the Moon, and the five known planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) in the skies to great accuracy, with a geocentric system of orbits and epicycles.Born: 85 in EgyptDied: 165 in Alexandria, Egypt
By studying their history and their civilization and their culture. Taking a trip to Egypt wouldn't hurt.

Claudius Ptolemy, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, from about AD 90-168, published the earliest known systematic astronomical text which described a geocentric system of celestial mechanics, called the Almagest. Ptolemy was probably familiar with the work of Aristotle entitled On the Heavens, from almost 300 years earlier, which was geocentric in the abstract but lacked a systematic approach to observational astronomy.Hipparchus of Rhodes, a contemporary of Aristotle, described a system for recording astronomical observations.Millennia earlier, Babylonian and Sumerian astronomers of the early Babylonian period (about 2000 years BC) described the motions of the planets and arithmetical rules for planetary observation.
she tested poisons on prisoners, she also liked studying her Egypt history.
Archaeology is the study of past human societies through the analysis of artifacts, structures, and remains.
Please be more specific in regard to Ptolemy -- there were many. One was a mathematician/astronomer and the other was a general of Alexander the Great who founded the last pharonic dynasty in Egypt. There were 15 Ptolemies who followed him and many of them had a relationship with Rome.Please be more specific in regard to Ptolemy -- there were many.

Hypatia was born in Alexandria, Egypt. She spent time studying in Athens, Greece, and then returned to Alexandria to teach.
Ptolemy was a Roman citizen of Egypt who had wrote in Greek. He was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and a poet of a single epigram in the Greek Anthology. He lived in Egypt under a Roman rule and is believed to have been born in the town of Ptolemais Hermiou in the Thebaid. He died in Alexandria around AD 168.
A man named Eratosthenes did this without leaving Egypt. He knew that at local noon on the summer solstice in Syene that the sun was directly overhead. He was a Greek astronomer living in Egypt more than 2,000 years ago.
Eratosthenes was born in Cyrene, Shahhat, Libya in 276 BC and died in Alexandria, Egypt in 194 BC. He was an astronomer, mathematician, and geographer, who eventually became the chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria.
