Just for accuracy sake, the helio-centric solar system has been something man has been aware of for over 5 millennia. The terra-centric (sun circles the earth) was a successful propaganda effort put forth during the early medieval period to support the European church's assertions that man was the center of everything and deserving of the creator's special attention.
There is no proof that any other human society outside of the Mediterranean regions ever believed the sun circled the earth. The sun circling the earth wasn't considered common sense, it was medieval Mediterranean arrogance and manipulation.
Having said that, the poster's point is taken.
