Erich Von Daniken - The Gold Of The Gods

3 - Traces Of The Gods In China, Too
That was the site in the Sino-Tibetan frontier zone where the Chinese
archaeologist Chi Pu Tei found 716 granite plates in 1938. They were 2
centimeters thick, with a hole exactly in the center from which a
double-tracked grooved script ran out spirally to the edge of the plate.
In fact they were rather like our long playing records. Brilliant scholars
puzzled for years over the secret of the stone plates until Professor
Tsum Urn Nui of the Academy of Prehistory, Peking, succeeded in
deciphering part of the grooved scripts in 1962. Geological analysis
showed a considerable cobalt and metal content; physicists established
that all the plates had a high vibration rhythm, which led to the
conclusion that they had been exposed to high electrical tensions at
some time. The finds at Baian Kara Ula became a sensation when the
Russian philologist Dr. Vyacheslav Saizev published some de-ciphered
texts of the stone plates. They related that 12,000 years ago members
of an alien people landed on the third planet, but their aircraft no longer
had enough power to take off from that distant world. I have
established these proven facts in detail in Gods from Outer Space.
But the reason for my journey to Taiwan was that the news published
in Moscow, the scholar's full report on the stone plates, was deposited
both in the Peking Academy and the Historical Archives at Taipeh.
Thanks to a letter from my friend Chi, I had an appointment on this
cold, wet January afternoon with the Director of the Palace Museum,
who had confirmed our meeting in a courteous letter before I had even
started on my third journey round the world.
