This question i wonder about wizard 101 so yesterday in world history class i was reading in my book and i see the word ptolemy which is grid systems based on latitude and longitude, so i wondered if this is how wizard101 came up for the idea for Ptolemos the moon boss in the trial of the spheres?
i would love to hear your thoughts on this

Ptolemy is a grid system of lat/long? This is what it says in your world history book? You sure it didn't say geodesy?

Anywho, I would figure they got Ptolemos from Ptolemy the greek scientist (think he was an astronomer, or at least one of his disciplines).
