Ptolemy was a Greco-Roman mathematician, astronomer, and geographer who lived in the 2nd century AD. He is best known for his work "Almagest," which presented the geocentric model of the universe, where Earth is at the center, and all celestial bodies revolve around it. Ptolemy also contributed to cartography with his "Geographia," which laid the foundations for future map-making. His ideas dominated Western astronomical thought for over a millennium until the Copernican revolution.
