Does anyone have any more information on the Dropa stones than what is on google and wikipedia?


The Dropa Stones

Back in 1938, archaeologist Dr. Chi Pu Tie made an unusual discovery during an expedition into the Baian-Kara-Ula mountain range in China, where he found a series of tiny circular stone discs that shared eerily similar markings to phonograph records — but dated back 12,000 years. There were 716 discs in all that measured up to 1-foot in diameter, and each disc carried two grooves that originated from a hole in their center in the form of a double spiral.

These grooves contained tiny hieroglyphics that were only distinguishable by a magnifying glass. After studies at Bejing University yielded no results, the discs were given to a man name Tsum Um Nui. After nearly 4 years, Tsum Um Nui managed to decipher the hieroglyphics and said they revealed a fascinating story of an alien spacecraft that crashed landed to Earth. He says that the passengers of the ship were unable to repair their vehicle and were forced to adapt to the conditions on Earth. His findings were published in a professional journal in 1963, but were (and still are) met with criticism and disbelief.

The Dropa stones were a hoax. Your picture is of the Lolladoff plate, another hoax.

Do you have any evidence that it was a hoax? As far as I understand, it's a controversial issue, but it has not been confirmed one way or the other.

The author of the hoax admitted it to Fortean Times Magazine a couple of decades ago.

If you want, I might be able to find that for you, but you could do it yourself. The pertinent information is right there on wiki.
It has been claimed that Tsum Um Nui is not a real Chinese name. There is no mention of him in China outside his connection to the Dropa stones. According to Dropa enthusiast Hartwig Hausdorf, Tsum Um Nui is a "former Japanese name, but adapted to Chinese language". Nor is there any mention in any records about Chi Pu Tei's expedition in 1938.

Sungods in Exile, with its account of Karyl Robin-Evans in all appearances gave credibility to Dropa stones until 1988, when David A. Gamon told Fortean Times magazine that the book was fiction and Karyl Robin-Evans imaginary.

The stone discs were supposedly stored in various museums across China. However, none of these museums have any records or traces of Dropa stones ever being there.

According to the Gould-Parkinson system of transliteration, "Drop-ka" is Tibetan for "solitude" or "inhabitant of pasture lands". It is said to be the name of a tribe of Tibetan nomadic herders on the eastern Tibetan plateau.

With Wegerer's photos lacking concrete evidence of the hieroglyphs, they display similarity to discs. are round jade discs with holes in their centres. When buried in the earth, the minerals change them to be multi-colored. have been dated to 3000 BCE and were common in what is now Shaanxi. Some are decorated with parallel grooves and other markings.

I suggest you use terms from that quoted section for search terms.

While you're at it, look up the Lolladoff plate.
