Mist
a lake filled with fish shadows swimming in dark depths across a bottom covered with green creeping algae weeping willows press close moss hangs from branches looming over the water where the wet roots of the trees grip fungus covered rocks a mist slowly rises pale and thick from the glistening surface forms appear and vanish within weaving to and fro like ghosts swimming up into the night sky a white blanket spreads slowly over the sleeping countryside swirling around houses and slipping into chimneys across the silent hearthstones until the rising sun burns it away From the collection "Words at 16 (1983)" - edited June 2026

The claim is rather extraordinary:
existence of writing during the Late Paleolithic.The claim is based on statistical analysis.
Now, "more than 3,000 characters on 260 objects" means an average of just 12 characters per object, but the article doesn't mention even the range of character counts per object, never mind the variance.BBC Article:
