I haven't heard of apes burying each other either..........

In 1938 a archaeological expedition led by a Professor Chi PuTei, was exploring the Baian-Kara-ula mountains in order to survey a series of interlinking caves on the border of China and Tibet. What the team found was a cave within which wee several small bodies, and over 700 small round stone discs. They have since been claimed to be a record of an alien crash-landing on earth 10,000 years ago.

Frustratingly, the detailed facts of this case are not known as most of the literature on this subject has been regurgitated from unsubstantiated sources.

The Dropa: A Modern Myth.?

The following text has been compiled from various websites, and is unsubstantiated in any way.

According to the modern myth, the caves they found themselves in were suggested to have been artificially carved, and were more like a complex system of tunnels and underground storerooms. The walls were squared and glazed, as if cut into the mountain with a source of extreme heat. Inside the caves were several ancient, but neatly arranged burial sites, and in them the skeletal remains of several small (measuring a little more than four feet tall), frail and spindly people with disproportionately large skulls. It is claimed that a member of the team suggested that they might be the remains of an unknown species of mountain gorilla to which Professor Chi Pu Tei is reputed to have responded, "Who ever heard of apes burying one another?"
