The symposium featured presentations by leading scientists in the fields of history and heritage preservation, including Dr. Fathi Saleh, founder of the Center for Documentation of Cultural and Natural Heritage (CULTNAT), who gave a lecture entitled "The Concept of Astronomy Throughout the Ages." Dr. Osama Fathi, chairman of the board of directors of the Egyptian Society for Astronomy, also gave a lecture on "The Astronomical Observatory of Ibn Yunus and His Achievements."
