			In his last years, he was based in [[Baghdad]], where he produced commentaries on [[Euclid]]'s ''{{Wiki\|Euclid's Elements\|Elements}}'', [[Archimedes]]' ''{{Wiki\|On the Sphere and Cylinder}}'', and {{Wiki\|Menelaus of Alexandria}}'s ''Sphaerica''.<ref>{{WP\|Al-Mahani}}</ref> Among his other works was an early theory on {{Wiki\|heliocentrism}} instead of the long-held {{Wiki\|Geocentrism\|geocentric model}},<ref name="A Life's Work">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[A Life's Work]]</ref> a belief that would not be suitably countered until the [[Renaissance]] over 600 years later, by the [[Poland\|Polish]] astronomer [[Nicolaus Copernicus]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]] – [[Copernicus Conspiracy]]''</ref>

			==Biography==
			{{Dialogue\|Basim\|Let me find you some help. Perhaps there is a doctor I can take you to?\|Al-Mahani\|Too late ... yet there are still many things I must do. My life's work, a treatise upon the heavenly stars... I must get it to the House of Wisdom before my rivals claim it and steal my glory!\|Al-Mahani talking to Basim, 860s.\|Assassin's Creed: Mirage\|A Life's Work}}
			By the 860s, the elderly Al-Mahani's health was fading, and he suffered from heart problems. While at the [[Observatory, Baghdad\|Observatory]] in Baghdad's [[Abbasiyah]] district, he suddenly began experiencing chest pains and, realizing his end was near, he asked a stranger, the [[Hidden Ones of Alamut\|Alamut Hidden One]] [[Basim ibn Ishaq]], to recover his life's work, to prevent it from being stolen by his rivals.<ref name="A Life's Work"/>

			Basim accepted the request and made his way to the top of the Observatory, where he found Al-Mahani's treatise, alongside a letter addressed to his son. In it, Al-Mahani apologized for their argument earlier that day and admitted that, while his treatise was his life's work, his son was what had truly brought him joy in life. He regretted the way their relationship had soured due to Al-Mahani's focus on his work and mourning his late wife, and hoped that these parting words could bring his son some solace in the event of his death.<ref name="A Life's Work"/>

			The letter proved to be prophetic as, by the time Basim returned with the treatise, Al-Mahani had passed away, his body being discovered by his devastated son. Basim gave him his father's treatise, and the two discussed Al-Mahani's thoughts regarding his work and his family before the Hidden One left.<ref name="A Life's Work"/>
