Publisher's summary

Learn about the mystery of the Dropa Stones with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. The Dropa Stones are supposedly a collection of circular stones found in a cave in Tibet in 1938. They were discovered by Chinese archaeologist Chi Pu Tei. They purportedly tell of aliens coming to earth in 10,000 BC. No claims have been verified, and so the Dropa Stones are part of a highly elusive mystery.

High in the Baian-Kara-Ula mountains in Western China, Chi Pu Tei led a group of students on an expedition surveying interlinking caves in the Himalayas. The caves were apparently remarkable in that they appeared to have been carved using a technically-advanced cutter. What was most incredible about the expedition of Chi's team is the fact that they stumbled across 400 skeletons of an unidentifiable small creature. Each creature would have stood at little more than four-feet high.

Editorial reviews

In 1938, a collection of hieroglyphic etchings on large circular stones were purported to have been found in a Tibetan cave by Chinese archaeologist Chi Pu Tei, and allegedly told the tale of extraterrestrial life. Mystery shrouds the Dropa Stones, however, as there is no evidence that they - and even their discoverer - ever existed. iMinds describes the theories surrounding the stones in this illuminating work, which gives a general summary of their histories. Elouise Rothwell's insinuating performance, along with the eerie background music, only add to the intriguing enigma of the Dropa Stones.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Aliens in Tibet 👀

This short listen about the Dropa Stones discovered in Tibet in 1938 by Chinese archaeologist Chi Pu Tei was a new subject for me. I had never heard of the Dropa Stones. Chi Pu Tei's team found 400 skeletons that stood about four feet tall. Much mystery surrounds his discovery, which, of course has never been verified. I love these short listens, which stretch your mind and imagination!

It's Okay

Quick and to the point. Perfect for waiting in line or going for a very quick walk. More a long article, with general events & facts presented. Author tried to remain neutral & presented opposing views re the authenticity of the stones. Only drawback for me was the narrator had a heavy British accent but wasn't awful & just personal preference.

Balanced assessment

Good description of the history and origins. No spooky stuff here, helps show the holes in the story.

Very Interesting. Thank you!

I hope our leaders and scientist will allow their curiosity to override their fear of these artifacts so the Human race can draw upon these sources of information to avoid extinction. Love and blessings to all who made this information available. Namasté

The Drops Stones

I love any mention of the Drops Stones and find the material both intriguing and well worth study. Too bad the stones are hidden somewhere.
