Ibn al-Haytham's prison experiments and camera origins
Today, August 19th, the world celebrates World Photography Day, a day that has become an essential part of people's lives by capturing moments and documenting events, especially during times of war and crises. The historical occasion recalls that the first invention of the camera was the result of experiments conducted by the Muslim scholar Al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham during his imprisonment by order of the ruler Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah in Egypt. Ibn al-Haytham, who lived in the 10th century AD, developed the concept of the "dark chamber" and used a small hole to project inverted images of the sun onto a wall. He also discovered the theory of light reflection, which forms the basis of photography. After his death, Europeans recognized the importance of his invention and later developed it into the modern camera.
