Quote:The Dropa stones are said to be a set of 716 circular stone discs dating back 12,000 years on which tiny hieroglyphic-like markings can be found. Each disc is said to measure up to 1 foot in diameter and carry two grooves, originating from a hole in their centre, in the form of a double spiral.


The discovery of the mysterious discs apparently took place in 1938 in the mountains of Baian Kara-Ula on the border between China and Tibet, where a Chinese professor, Chi Pu Tei, detected regularly aligned rows of graves. The skeletons measured only around four feet in height and had skulls which were large and over developed. 

Inside a nearby cave system, Chi Pu Tei and his team found interesting rock art which depicted figures with round helmets. Engraved in the rock were also the sun, moon, earth and stars, connected by groups of pea-sized dots.
Further inside the cave, the team found the collection of stone discs, most of them half buried in the floor of the cave.

Quote:Russian Involvement
In 1968 the Dropa stones apparently came to the attention of W. Saitsew (also spelt Zaitsev), a Russian scientist who re-published the findings of Tsum Um Nui and conducted tests on the discs that revealed some very peculiar properties.

Physically, the granite stones contained high concentrations of cobalt and other metals - a very hard stone indeed that would have made it difficult for the primitive people to carve the lettering, especially with such minute characters.

As recorded in the Soviet magazine Sputnik, when testing a disk with an oscillograph, a surprising oscillation rhythm was recorded as if, the scientists said, they had once been electrically charged or had functioned as electrical conductors.

Quote:Have any of the Dropa people survived?  

At the time of the discovery, the cave area was still inhabited by two tribes known as the Hams and the Dropas.
Anthropologists have apparently been unable to categorize either tribe into any other known race; they are neither Chinese, Mongol nor Tibetan.
They are yellow-skinned with thin bodies and disproportionately large heads, corresponding to the skeletal remains found in the caves in 1938.
They have sparse hair on their bodies, have large eyes and their height measures between  3’6” and 4’7” with an average height of 4’2”.

I have, years ago there were whispers in the back rooms with Red Drapes in Beijing.
The General Secretary of the CCP, Hu Yaobang who was also our Boss of the MSS at that time, was very concerned about the Dropa Stones and I think he had ordered them to be secured in the big vault in Beijing.
I do not believe anything has changed and they are still hidden from Mainstream Science.

I've heard of these artifacts and never took a deep dive into that, but your thread inspired me to find out about these people who are still around today. I found a nice website with wonderful photos of these people and they look entirely human to me.

The description I got was "they are like stone phonograph records, a flat platter with a hole in the middle and continuous spiral grooves from the hole to the outer edge, and the grooves have tiny characters like writing in them".

They seem to be linked to some cave paintings at Baian Kara Ula. Those paintings show a figure in what appears to be a space or diving suit with a helmet with two antennae - looks like Martin in "My Favorite Martian" - and what looks like a saucer shaped airship with a jet and smoke emerging from the center of the bottom side of it. The entire tableax reminds me of the cover of a 1950's science fiction novel what with the "My Favorite Martian" antenna and the rocket-powered flying saucer.

So far as I know, the hieroglyphics contained within the stone grooves have never been deciphered, although there have been a few spurious claims to have deciphered them.
