Modern Me as the center of the universe thinking. Lots of gigs wasted. Fortunately they only exist in the digital sphere and don’t clog the sewers and the bookshelves.
the camera evolved from the camera obscura which was a box that people used to draw objects the Image from. the black tarp was used to create a dark space so you could see the image projected on a frosted glass plate. After it was developed people realized that they could use light sensitive material to capture the image instead of sketching it.
So looking at it that way, BC may have been able to invent it.
The name photograph is a misnomer. The Camera is the photo-GRAPH, the image recorded and made by that instrument is a photo-GRAM. But like many things in English, the incorrect name caught on.

No, people only did that after the internet was invented. We are de-evolving.

Now this is where the nighttime educators are getting it right mostly. Also the molecular fabricators produce it for them.
