Discover the incredible life of one of history's great African geniuses.

• Medical firsts — how his medical texts and treatments laid groundwork that earned him the title "Father of Medicine".
• A life of many talents — how he excelled across architecture, engineering and astronomy, and shaped civilisations for centuries after him.
