Enheduanna
Enheduanna was a daughter of Sargon of Akkad and high priestess of Nanna at Ur. Remembered through archaeology and a major Sumerian literary tradition, she is one of the earliest historical individuals associated by name with substantial surviving literature.
Ibn al-Haytham
Ibn al-Haytham transformed the study of light, vision and evidence. His Book of Optics helped lay foundations for experimental science, showing that knowledge grows strongest when curiosity is tested against observation.
