I think his proof will be totally unacceptable today.

Ptolemy believed that the Earth is the center of the universe, not the Sun.
For his proof, he stated that The Earth is not moving while the sun does , and the force of Gravitation attracted toward the earth.
His statement above will be easily disproved if they have an advanced technology such as satellite to monitor the earth's positions in the orbit.
