> Tei, an archeologist who was leading students on an expedition
> into the Bayan Kara Ula Mountains in the then-disputed frontier
> territory of Tibet and China. Professor Chi Pu Tei and his students
> discovered what was first described as a series of caves, but
> later admitted to be a complex system of artificial tunnels and
> underground storerooms. These tunnels were perfectly squared and
> the walls, ceilings and floors were highly glazed, as if the
> passages and rooms were carved by a device emitting heat of such
> intensity that it simply melted its way into the mountains.
>
> The archeological group followed some of these passages and
> encountered larger chambers in which numerous un-described
> implements were discovered. The implements evidently differed from
> one chamber to another, but one item was found in common in each
> of the chambers -- the stone disks mentioned earlier. In each
> chamber, they were found in the same position -- on a smooth
> cube of rock, glazed just as the tunnels were, with anywhere
> from seven to 20 of the disks neatly stacked on top.
>
> Each disk was 22.7 cm (9 inches) in diameter and 2 cm
> (3/4 inch) thick. Each disk also had a perfectly circular 2 cm hole
> in the exact center. The outside edges were regularly indented all
> the way around, almost like the fluting on a pie crust. Each disk
> also had a twin groove which began at the center hole and gradually
> moved in an expanding counterclockwise spiral to the outer rim. The
> individual disks thus bore a certain similarity to the phonograph
> records of today.
>
> All of the disks -- a total of 716 -- were removed and taken for
> study to the Peking Academy of Prehistory. Nothing was heard about
> this discovery by Western scientists for the next 27 years.
> During that period, the disks were being studied intensively
> by Professor Tsum Um Nui.
>
> The Bayan Kara Ula Mountains area is one of the most isolated and
> least known areas on Earth today. The nearest city of any consequence
> is Lhasa, Tibet, about 400 miles to the south through virtually
> impassable terrain.
>
> It is an area presently inhabited by two tribes of very unusual
> people. The tribes call themselves Dropa and Han, and simply do
> not fit into any racial category established by anthropologists.
> For one thing, they are both of pygmy stature. The tallest and
> shortest adults have measured 4' 7" and 3'6" respectively, but
> the average height is 4'2". They are yellow-skinned. Their heads
> are disproportionately large and sparsely haired, and their eyes
> are large but not Oriental in aspect, with pale bluish irises.
> Their features are very nicely formed, most nearly approximating
> Caucasian, and their bodies are extremely thin and delicate.
> Adult weight is estimated to average about 38 to 52 pounds.
>
> The disks underwent extensive study by Professor Tsum Um Nui,
> interrupted at times by war. It took him and his coworkers only
> a short time to discover that the spiral grooves were not sound
> tracks but, rather, an incredibly ancient writing inscribed in
> some unknown way and very nearly microscopic in size. The disks
> were determined to be no less than 3,000 or 4,000 years old at
> the youngest, and more likely anywhere from 8,000 to 12,000
> years old.
>
> This would make them the oldest known form of writing in the world.

> Deciphering was incredibly difficult. It took 24 years -- until

> and began deciphering=2E The deciphered spiral text of the stones,
> even though only a small amount was completed, was so startling

> English magazine Sputnik, telling about the disks, their qualities
> and composition, and a little about what had been deciphered from
> them. It's rather startling. <A
