| KHAMS The Khams live in the hill area of Western Nepal. There are five language groupings within the Kham nationality, and the people from the southern villages are often unable to understand those living in the north. The Khams were traditionally known as semi-nomadic shepherds, selling wool to earn money, but today many of them farm the land and raise animals. ( The Arabic meaning of kham is five -or 1/5, also means to gather five generations of sons to form a coalition or tribe.) "The Chinese Roswell"-The Chu Pu Tei Expeditions 1937-1938 The Khön family lineage has a long history extending back to pre-Buddhist Tibet, when they were instrumental in the dissemination of Bön. This great lineage traces its descent back to the earliest times when three "Gods of the Realm of Clear Light" (brothers) descended from the heavens to the land which was later to be known as Tibet. The five generations from Yuring, the second of these brothers, to Yapang Kye are referred to as The Divine Line of Clear Light. Yapang Kye married a Raksha princess Yadruk Silima who bore him a son named Khon Bar Kye, meaning "he who is born amid strife". For reason of this ancestral history their descendants came variously to be known as "Lharig", meaning "The Celestial Race". During an expedition into a remote, isolated region of Tibet in 1937, an archeologist by the name of Chu Pu Tei made an amazing discovery. 700 discs were recovered from some caves that tunneled deep into the mountainside. Also found were numerous graves, which contained the remains of humanoid-like beings that were very short with disproportionately large heads. The aboriginal inhabitants of that region today are known as the Khams and the Dropas tribes.On the walls of one cave was found some cave drawings, replete with what appeared to be star maps and a sketch of what those beings might have looked like. I am still researching the Dropa Stones. I have visited several archaeology forums to toss out the question, and the consensus is that they are fraudulent, or at least the parts about the translated characters telling a story of alien visitation. Unfortunately, their connection with Erich von Daniken’s writings have cast a bit of a shroud of skepticism over the topic. Another apparently disconcerting aspect of the issue is that they periodically disappear and reappear on the scene. They were apparently lost for a while then reappeared in the mid 1990s. This causes one to wonder why, if they are legitimate artifacts, they are not in some stable environment in a university or museum setting where they can be better studied and viewed. I have been unable to locate any scholarly treatment of the topic in any Internet archeology resource. It is possible that the artifacts could be genuine, but we still need more scientific and substantial proofs. If you explore this topic on the web, you'll notice they all simply repeat the same questionable sources and references. Look for the newest updates only.
