Mathematical analysis reveals Aurignacian marks match proto-cuneiform entropy patterns. Aurignacian and Uruk 5 sequences have low unigram entropies and entropy rates with high repetition rates Uruk 4 and Uruk 3 periods show increased complexity with average sequence lengths of 13 and 17 respectively Modern writing achieves highest entropy values averaging 28
Wild stat: algorithms distinguish Ice Age marks from modern writing with high accuracy, yet their entropy patterns fully overlap with Uruk 5 proto-cuneiform. Ice Age marks behave like early writing! 📊🔍
