The Dropa Stones

There have been many unusual and puzzling artifacts that have been unearthed, or otherwise discovered, that do not fit into conventional theories of our geologic and historical past, one of them is the Dropa Stones. The “stones” were found buried beneath millennia of dust in 1938 on an archeological expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei in caves in the Baian-Kara-Ula mountains on the border that divides China and Tibet. Chi Pu Tei, a professor of archaeology at Beijing University, was leading some his students on an expedition to survey a series of interlinking caves in the Himalayan mountains. According to one account, the caves may have been artificially carved, and were more like a complex system of tunnels and underground storerooms. The walls were squared and glazed, as if cut into the mountain with a source of extreme heat.

Inside the caves they found several ancient, and neatly arranged burial sites, and in them the skeletal remains of a strange creatures. The skeletons had abnormally big heads, with small, thin, fragile bodies. A member of the team suggested that these might be the remains of an unknown species of mountain gorilla.

There were no epitaphs at the graves, but instead numbering several hundred stones in all were found, each disk measured about nine inches in diameter having 3/4 inch wide holes in their centers, and spiral grooves etched into the surface, like an ancient phonograph record. On the walls were carved pictures of the rising sun, moon, stars, the land, mountains, and lines of pea-sized dots connecting the earth with the sky. The cave drawings had been determined to be about 12,000 years old and the artifacts found with the stone disks have been dated to about 10,000 to 12,000 years old.

Small hieroglyphics were found in the grooves that, when translated, tell of an extraordinary story of extraterrestrials, who called themselves the Dropa, who had crash-landed in the mountains of China. Reports indicate that, in some of the caves, along with the disks, were discovered the remains of the Dropa, or their descendents, and that they may have, in fact, been Chinese.
