The paper proposes a brand-new approach to processing, explanation, and interpretation of ancient Egyptian raw data set covering the period of the Old Kingdom (2700-2180 BC), taking into account the identification and analysis of social processes. At that time the gradual transformation of Egyptian society from a kingdom to a state took place.
Methods of complex networks, referenced also as social network analysis, have been used for quantification of a number of historical aspects, there are only scattered publications dealing with late history of Egypt. Regrettably, nobody has applied SNA to the Old Kingdom context yet.
