Gods, graves and graphs – social and semantic network analysis based on Ancient Egyptian and Indian corpora

In this paper, the authors show the application and use of automated text network analysis based on ancient corpora. The examples draw from Ancient Egyptian sources and the Indian Mahābhārata. Different text-based network generation algorithms like “Nubbi” or “Textplot” are presented in order to sho...
