Similarity matrix map

When people think of geography, one of the main ideas that come to mind is the use of maps as a way to go from one place to another, usually in which the destination is unknown. However, in this example of a similarity matrix, even though the idea of a fold out map doesn’t really relate, this map does take a spinoff of the general theme. In this specific map, a comparison was made between the not only the different books in the Bible, but also between different translations in the language by changing all of the letters and spaces to numbers. From the data above from an English translation, it can be seen that although there are some differences between different books, there is definitely a trend or pattern in the way that the books were written. Also, another map compares this one to an Italian version, which also shows strong internal correlations, as well as connections to the English version, giving the notion that at least they were written in a similar period and that there is authenticity through consistency.
