There have been all kinds of cosmologies in past civilisations. In ancient times, at the dawn of western civilisation, it was commonly thought that the Earth was a flat surface, covered by a dome, suspended in water. Later, a few centuries BCE, the Greek figured out that the Earth was spherical, and were even able to roughly determine its circumference. They still believed that the Earth was at the center of everything, though, and that the Sun, stars and planets (which, according to the Greek, were simply "wandering stars") revolved around the Earth. It wasn't until the sixteenth century CE that Copernicus published a heliocentric model, challenging the geocentric model upheld by philosophers and religious authorities until that time. From then on, our models of the solar system became increasingly accurate, culminating in our current understanding.
