'''''Sungods in Exile''''' is a book by David Gamon that was published in 1978 under the pseudonym David Agamon, allegedly from the notes of a Karyl Robin-Evans who was said to be a professor at [[Oxford University]].


'''''Sungods in Exile''''' is a book published pseudonymously in 1978 under the name David Agamon, allegedly from the notes of a Dr Karyl Robin-Evans whom Agamon claimed was a professor at [[Oxford University]].
The book tells of a 1947 expedition to [[Tibet]] in which the scientist visited the [[Bayan Har Mountains]]. Robin-Evans claimed that the Dropa tribe was of [[extraterrestrial life|extraterrestrial]] origin and had crashed on Earth. The book featured photographs of the tribe and the alleged [[Dropa stones]] which contained messages from the extraterrestrials.

Robin-Evans claimed that the '''Dropa''' tribe was of extraterrestrial origin and had crashed on Earth. The book featured photographs of the tribe and the alleged [[Dropa stones]] which contained messages from the extraterrestrials.
Although researchers were unable to locate Karyl Robin-Evans, the Dropa stones appeared regularly in the [[UFO]] [[subculture]] and author [[Hartwig Hausdorf]] popularized the story in his 1998 book ''The Chinese Roswell''. Later variations of the story added a fictional Professor Tsum Um Nui of the equally fictional Beijing Academy for Ancient Studies who decoded the language of the stones.

In 1995, British author David Gamon admitted in ''[[Fortean Times]]'' that he had written ''Sungods in Exile'' as a hoax under the Agamon pseudonym,<ref>''Fortean Times'' 75 (Jun/Jul 1994), page 57</ref> inspired by the popularity of [[Erich von Däniken]] and his books on [[ancient astronauts]]. The source material for the story was taken from a 1960s magazine article in ''Russian Digest'', and a 1973 French science fiction novel ''Les disques de Biem-Kara'', (''The discs of Biem-Kara''), by Daniel Piret.
