What Egyptian geographer believed earth was the center of the universe?
You're probably thinking of Ptolemy, though lots of people presumed the Earth was the center of the cosmos, just as they presumed their city was the center of the world. Today we speak of the "Ptolemaic System" (Geocentric) as though he somehow forced this idea on the rest of the world. Actually, the geocentric model was just one way to account for the observed data. Although we would say today that the heliocentric (Sun in the center) model does that better, since there is no actual center to the universe, it's possible to construct a working model using any point as the center for purposes of calculation.

Who was forced to admit publicly that the earth motionless at the center of the universe?
You're thinking of Galileo; however, the fact that he had to deny, or "abjure," was that the Earth orbited the Sun instead of the other way around. People probably did think of the Earth as the center of the universe, however, the concept of "universe" was nothing like what it is today. Even the term used, "cosmos," meant both "universe" and "world."

Who said Earth moves around Sun?
jobAnother Answer:Historically, most all believed the Earth was at the center of the Universe (geocentric) as Aristotle and Ptolemy had taught. But in the 3rd Century B.C., a greek by the name of Aristarchus of Samos proposed the opposite - the Sun at the center of the Universe (heliocentric) but this did not get much support. Then in the 16th Century A.D., a pole by the name of Nicholas Copernicus proved Aristarchus correct. A bit latter, Galileo, using a 'telescope' supported this discovery. Yet, Galileo was forced to recant all by the powerful RC Church.
