I read on Yahoo news that they found Nero's dining room?

[bart]

and it says it rotated to imitate the earth's rotation...I thought in the first century people thought the earth was still and the heavenly objects revolved around us...what's up?

 

[nigerian nightmare]

Nero made his room rotate because it made his concubines horny

 

[Pan Zensual]

People some 2500 years ago knew that the world was spherical and revolving, but that was mostly forgotten or even forbidden thoughts during the early stages of Christianity and during the dark ages.

With the understanding of the shape of the earth and the varying altitudes of the stars the understanding that the world was revolving was obvious.
