FAQs
Who is Ibn al-Haytham?
Ibn al-Haytham was a Muslim scientist from Basra who discovered that we see because light enters our eyes, not because our eyes send out rays — a foundational idea in the science of optics.
Is Ibn al-Haytham a real historical figure?
Yes. Ibn al-Haytham is a real 11th-century scholar, sometimes called the "father of optics," and this figure is a stylized tribute to him, not a fictional character.
How many pieces are in this figure, and what age is it for?
163 pieces, rated Easy and suitable for ages 4 and up.
Can I build this figure without a face?
Yes — it ships with an optional no-face decal card, for those who prefer building it without a face.
