<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">The picture was generated through a combination of traditional approaches of humanities and cutting-edge data analysis. The word network shown is that of the Ancient Egyptian term 'hrw“' – pronounced 'herou'. I means 'day' in Englisch. The yellow lines show connections of individual words that are combined in hieroglyph inscriptures with 'hrw'. Information from more than 400 different texts and approx. 2500 years of Ancient history went into this word network.</span></span></p>CERES Researcher awarded2015-04-10T10:25:24+00:002016-05-04T19:02:52.524951+00:00Ulf Plessentinhttps://senereko.ceres.rub.de/en/news-archive/dissertationspreis2015_1/<p>Dr. Frederik Elwert has been awarded for the best dissertation 2015 by the Deutschen Vereinigung für Religionswissenschaft (DVRW - German Association for the Study of Religion).
