Merry Monday Mystery...!

I like finding these Monday mysteries! It makes the start of the week a little more interesting, I think.

This one is another from the long ago past. It truly makes you wonder just what else from our past we haven't uncovered yet!

The Dropa Stones

In 1938, an archaeological expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei into the Baian-Kara-Ula mountains of China made an astonishing discovery in some caves that had apparently been occupied by some ancient culture. Buried in the dust of ages on the cave floor were hundreds of stone disks. Measuring about nine inches in diameter, each had a circle cut into the center and was etched with a spiral groove, making it look for all the world like some ancient phonograph record some 10,000 to 12,000 years old. The spiral groove, it turns out, is actually composed of tiny hieroglyphics that tell the incredible story of spaceships from some distant world that crash-landed in the mountains. The ships were piloted by people who called themselves the Dropa, and the remains of whose descendants, possibly, were found in the cave.

Pretty interesting find, wouldn't you say? Something like this could keep the researchers busy for a really long time, I reckon!

Coffee in the kitchen this morning. Still a little cool in the morning and the kitchen is nice and warm!
