Oddly enough, the heliocentric system was later proven to be just as inaccurate as the Ptolemaic system.

No, it wasn't - at least not in the macro sense as you've framed it.

Galileo and Copernicus taught that the sun was the center of the universe. That's what heliocentric means. From a modern perspective that is only slightly less ridiculous than the theory that the earth is at the center.
