This photograph of an ancient Dropa stone shows a round disc, a hole in the center and a rectangular notch carved out of the sides (which has now been filled in) visible on the lower right of the photograph. the fact that the rectangular notch has been filled in suggests that the archaeologists must have thought that the notches were damaged, but maybe they were mistaken. The Dropa stone disc also has a fine spiraling groove radiating out from the center of the rim, which is described by the archaeologists but not clearly visible in this photo.

A DISCOVERY ON THE CHINESE /TIBETAN BORDER

In 1938, a Chinese and Tibetan team of archaeologists led by Chinese professor Chi Pu Tei from the University of Beijing, discovered an astounding burial site high in the mountains of BayanKara-Ula on the border of Tibet and China. The team of archaeologists were conducting a detailed survey of a series of interlocking caves. What they found would provide evidence for this investigation to suggest the impossible.

The Chinese and Tibetan team found a gravesite containing the skeletal remains of what at first thought to be a very primitive and tiny people with extra-large heads. Professor Chi Pu Tei is reported to have responded, "Who ever heard of apes burying one another?" Or course they were not apes.

It was all too familiar to the descriptions Ufologists give to the Grays: the small aliens with the little bodies and the big heads. The team found that the cave area is still inhabited by two tribes that have some of the same physical characteristics. They are frail in their bodies and stand between 3-foot-6 and 4-foot-7 with an average body height of 4-foot-2. The two tribes are known today as the Hans and the Dropas.

Then the team found a large round stone disc half buried in the dirt on the floor of one of the caves. The discs were a record of some ancient event or an artifact of something these ancient peoples described seeing some 12,000 years ago. There are grooves on the Dropa stones that contain ancient closely written characters in a language that would later be translated by another Chinese scientist named Dr. Tsum um Nui in 1962. In 1965, 716 more grooved Dropa stone discs were discovered in the same caves.
