Description
This program highlights the historical contribution of Arab scholars to astronomy and geometry. The illustration superimposes the portrait of a scholar with complex diagrams depicting the phases of the moon and calculations of celestial trajectories. By recalling this pioneering role, Tunisia reaffirms its attachment to the scientific spirit and the intellectual heritage which served as a bridge between Antiquity and the European Renaissance. It is a celebration of reason and intellectual curiosity as the foundations of civilization, placing the country's history in a line of universal progress.
