ARCHAEOLOGICAL COVER UPS: EGYPTIAN CAVES/GRAND CANYON

Reading about Egyptian-like tombs being found in the Grand Canyon really caught my interest! All my life I have been fascinated by such things, especially to do with the more ancient times of Egypt ~ the days before the Pharaohs.  So here is something sent to me by Dublin Mick which, in my normal fashion, I have added too, enhanced with photos found through searches on this topic. This is just a lovely change from the cares of today's world. Please enjoy!

Perhaps the most amazing suppression of all is the excavation of an Egyptian tomb by the Smithsonian itself in Arizona. 
.
A lengthy front page story of the PHOENIX GAZETTE on 5 April 1909 (follows this article), gave a highly detailed report of the discovery and excavation of a rock-cut vault by an expedition led by a Professor S.A. Jordan of the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian, however, claims to have absolutely no knowledge of the discovery or its discoverers.

The World Explorers Club decided to check on this story by calling the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., though we felt there was little chance of getting any real information. After speaking briefly to an operator, we were transferred to a Smithsonian staff archaeologist, and a woman's voice came on the phone and identified herself.

I told her that I was investigating a story from a 1909 Phoenix newspaper article about the Smithsonian Institution's having excavated rock-cut vaults in the Grand Canyon where Egyptian artifacts had been discovered, and whether the Smithsonian Institution could give me any more information on the subject.

"Well, the first thing I can tell you, before we go any further," she said, "is that no Egyptian artifacts of any kind have ever been found in North or South America. Therefore, I can tell you that the Smithsonian Institute has never been involved in any such excavations."

She was quite helpful and polite but, in the end, knew nothing. Neither she nor anyone else with whom I spoke could find any record of the discovery or either G.E. Kinkaid and Professor S.A. Jordan. While it cannot be discounted that the entire story is an elaborate newspaper hoax, the fact that it was on the front page, named the prestigious Smithsonian Institution, and gave a highly detailed story that went on for several pages, lends a great deal to its credibility. It is hard to believe such a story could have come out of thin air.
Is the Smithsonian Institution covering up an archaeological discovery of immense importance?
If this story is true it would radically change the current view that there was no transoceanic contact in pre-Columbian times, and that all American Indians, on both continents, are descended from Ice Age explorers who came across the Bering Strait. (Any information on G.E. Kinkaid and Professor S.A. Jordan, or their alleged discoveries that readers may have would be greatly appreciated.....write to Childress at the World Explorers Club at the above address.)
Is the idea that ancient Egyptians came to the Arizona area in the ancient past so objectionable and preposterous that it must be covered up?

Perhaps the Smithsonian Institution is more interested in maintaining the status quo than rocking the boat with astonishing new discoveries that overturn previously accepted academic teachings.
Historian and linguist Carl Hart, editor of WORLD EXPLORER, then obtained a hiker's map of the Grand Canyon from a bookstore in Chicago. Poring over the map, we were amazed to see that much of the area on the north side of the canyon has Egyptian names. 

EGYPTIAN CAVERNS IN THE GRAND CANYON ~

DAVID HATCHER CHILDRESS PT 1/12 

The area around Ninety-four Mile Creek and Trinity Creek had areas (rock formations, apparently) with names like Tower of Set, Tower of Ra, Horus Temple, Osiris Temple, and Isis Temple. In the Haunted Canyon area were such names as the Cheops Pyramid, the Buddha Cloister, Buddha Temple, Manu Temple and Shiva Temple.
Was there any relationship between these places and the alleged Egyptian discoveries in the Grand Canyon?
We called a state archaeologist at the Grand Canyon, and were told that the early explorers had just liked Egyptian and Hindu names, but that it was true that this area was off limits to hikers or other visitors, "because of dangerous caves."
Indeed, this entire area with the Egyptian and Hindu place names in the Grand Canyon is a forbidden zone ~ no one is allowed into this large area. We could only conclude that this was the area where the vaults were located. Yet today, this area is curiously off-limits to all hikers and even, in large part, park personnel.
I believe that the discerning reader will see that if only a small part of the "Smithsoniangate" evidence is true, then our most hallowed archaeological institution has been actively involved in suppressing evidence for advanced American cultures, evidence for ancient voyages of various cultures to North America, evidence for anomalistic giants and other oddball artifacts, and evidence that tends to disprove the official dogma that is now the history of North America.

The Smithsonian's Board of Regents still refuses to open its meetings to the news media or the public.
If Americans were ever allowed inside the 'nation's attic', as the Smithsonian has been called, what skeletons might they find?

1909 EXPLORATIONS IN GRAND CANYON

Mysteries of Immense Rich Cavern being brought to light

Jordan is enthused

Remarkable finds indicate ancient people migrated from Orient

The latest news of the progress of the explorations of what is now regarded by scientists as not only the oldest archeological discovery in the United States, but one of the most valuable in the world, which was mentioned some time ago in the Gazette, was brought to the city yesterday by G.E. Kinkaid, the explorer who found the great underground citadel of the Grand Canyon during a trip from Green River, Wyoming, down the Colorado, in a wooden boat, to Yuma, several months ago.

According to the story related to the Gazette by Mr. Kinkaid, the archaelogists of the Smithsonian Institute, which is financing the expeditions, have made discoveries which almost conclusively prove that the race which inhabited this mysterious cavern, hewn in solid rock by human hands, was of oriental origin, possibly from Egypt, tracing back to Ramses.

If their theories are borne out by the translation of the tablets engraved with heiroglyphics, the mystery of the prehistoric peoples of North America, their ancient arts, who they were and whence they came, will be solved. Egypt and the Nile, and Arizona and the Colorado will be linked by a historical chain running back to ages which staggers the wildest fancy of the fictionist.

A THOROUGH EXAMINATION

Under the direction of Prof. S. A. Jordan, the Smithsonian Institute is now prosecuting the most thorough explorations, which will be continued until the last link in the chain is forged. Nearly a mile underground, about 1480 feet below the surface, the long main passage has been delved into, to find another mammoth chamber from which radiates scores of passageways, like the spokes of a wheel.

Several hundred rooms have been discovered, reached by passageways running from the main passage, one of them having been explored for 854 feet and another 634 feet. The recent finds include articles which have never been known as native to this country, and doubtless they had their origin in the orient. War weapons, copper instruments, sharp-edged and hard as steel, indicate the high state of civilization reached by these strange people. So interested have the scientists become that preparations are being made to equip the camp for extensive studies, and the force will be increased to thirty or forty persons.

MR. KINKAID'S REPORT

Mr. Kinkaid was the first white child born in Idaho and has been an explorer and hunter all his life, thirty years having been in the service of the Smithsonian Institute. Even briefly recounted, his history sounds fabulous, almost grotesque.

"First, I would impress that the cavern is nearly inaccessible. The entrance is 1,486 feet down the sheer canyon wall. It is located on government land and no visitor will be allowed there under penalty of trespass. The scientists wish to work unmolested, without fear of archeological discoveries being disturbed by curio or relic hunters. A trip there would be fruitless, and the visitor would be sent on his way. The story of how I found the cavern has been related, but in a paragraph: 

I was journeying down the Colorado river in a boat, alone, looking for mineral. Some forty-two miles up the river from the El Tovar Crystal canyon, I saw on the east wall, stains in the sedimentary formation about 2,000 feet above the river bed. There was no trail to this point, but I finally reached it with great difficulty.

Above a shelf which hid it from view from the river, was the mouth of the cave. There are steps leading from this entrance some thirty yards to what was, at the time the cavern was inhabited, the level of the river.

When I saw the chisel marks on the wall inside the entrance, I became interested, securing my gun and went in. During that trip I went back several hundred feet along the main passage till I came to the crypt in which I discovered the mummies. 
 .
The "42 miles" show as a red line on the river.
.
One of these I stood up and photographed by flashlight. I gathered a number of relics, which I carried down the Colorado to Yuma, from whence I shipped them to Washington with details of the discovery. Following this, the explorations were undertaken.

THE PASSAGES

"The main passageway is about 12 feet wide, narrowing to nine feet toward the farther end. About 57 feet from the entrance, the first side-passages branch off to the right and left, along which, on both sides, are a number of rooms about the size of ordinary living rooms of today, though some are 30 by 40 feet square. These are entered by oval-shaped doors and are ventilated by round air spaces through the walls into the passages. The walls are about three feet six inches in thickness.

The passages are chiseled or hewn as straight as could be laid out by an engineer. The ceilings of many of the rooms converge to a center. The side-passages near the entrance run at a sharp angle from the main hall, but toward the rear they gradually reach a right angle in direction.

THE SHRINE

"Over a hundred feet from the entrance is the cross-hall, several hundred feet long, in which are found the idol, or image, of the people's god, sitting cross-legged, with a lotus flower or lily in each hand. The cast of the face is oriental, and the carving this cavern.

The idol almost resembles Buddha, though the scientists are not certain as to what religious worship it represents. Taking into consideration everything found thus far, it is possible that this worship most resembles the ancient people of Tibet.
Surrounding this idol are smaller images, some very beautiful in form; others crooked-necked and distorted shapes, symbolical, probably, of good and evil. There are two large cacti with protruding arms, one on each side of the dais on which the god squats. All this is carved out of hard rock resembling marble.

In the opposite corner of this cross-hall were found tools of all descriptions, made of copper. These people undoubtedly knew the lost art of hardening this metal, which has been sought by chemicals for centuries without result. On a bench running around the workroom was some charcoal and other material probably used in the process. There is also slag and stuff similar to matte, showing that these ancients smelted ores, but so far no trace of where or how this was done has been discovered, nor the origin of the ore.

"Among the other finds are vases or urns and cups of copper and gold, made very artistic in design. The pottery work includes enameled ware and glazed vessels. Another passageway leads to granaries such as are found in the oriental temples. They contain seeds of various kinds. One very large storehouse has not yet been entered, as it is twelve feet high and can be reached only from above. Two copper hooks extend on the edge, which indicates that some sort of ladder was attached. These granaries are rounded, as the materials of which they are constructed, I think, is a very hard cement.

A gray metal is also found in this cavern, which puzzles the scientists, for its identity has not been established. It resembles platinum. Strewn promiscuously over the floor everywhere are what people call "cats eyse', a yellow stone of no great value. Each one is engraved with the head of the Malay type.
.
THE HIEROGLYPHICS

"On all the urns, or walls over doorways , and tablets of stone which were found by the image are the mysterious hieroglyphics, the key to which the Smithsonian Institute hopes yet to discover.

The engraving on the tables probably has something to do with the religion of the people. Similar hieroglyphics have been found in southern Arizona. Among the pictorial writings, only two animals are found. One is of prehistoric type.



THE CRYPT
"The tomb or crypt in which the mummies were found is one of the largest of the chambers, the walls slanting back at an angle of about 35 degrees. On these are tiers of mummies, each one occupying a separate hewn shelf. At the head of each is a small bench, on which are found copper cups and pieces of broken swords. Some of the mummies are covered with clay, and all are wrapped in a bark fabric.

The urns or cups on the lower tiers are crude, while as the higher shelves are reached, the urns are finer in design, showing a later stage of civilization. It is worthy of note that all the mummies examined so far have proved to be male, no children or females being buried here. This leads to the belief that this exterior section was the warriors' barracks.

"Among the discoveries no bones of animals have been found, no skins, no clothing, no bedding. Many of the rooms are bare but for water vessels. One room, about 40 by 700 feet, was probably the main dining hall, for cooking utensils are found here. What these people lived on is a problem, though it is presumed that they came south in the winter and farmed in the valleys, going back north in the summer.
Upwards of 50,000 people could have lived in the caverns comfortably. One theory is that the present Indian tribes found in Arizona are descendants of the serfs or slaves of the people which inhabited the cave. Undoubtedly a good many thousands of years before the Christian era, a people lived here which reached a high stage of civilization.

The chronology of human history is full of gaps. Professor Jordan is much enthused over the discoveries and believes that the find will prove of incalculable value in archeological work.

"One thing I have not spoken of, may be of interest.

There is one chamber of the passageway to which is not ventilated, and when we approached it a deadly, snaky smell struck us. Our light would not penetrate the gloom, and until stronger ones are available we will not know what the chamber contains. Some say snakes, but other boo-hoo this idea and think it may contain a deadly gas or chemicals used by the ancients. No sounds are heard, but it smells snaky just the same.

The whole underground installation gives one of shaky nerves the creeps. The gloom is like a weight on one's shoulders, and our flashlights and candles only make the darkness blacker. Imagination can revel in conjectures and ungodly daydreams back through the ages that have elapsed till the mind reels dizzily in space."

AN INDIAN LEGEND

In connection with this story, it is notable that among the Hopi Indians the tradition is told that their ancestors once lived in an underworld in the Grand Canyon till dissension arose between the good and the bad, the people of one heart and the people of two hearts.

Machetto, who was their chief, counseled them to leave the underworld, but there was no way out. The chief then caused a tree to grow up and pierce the roof of the underworld, and then the people of one heart climbed out. They tarried by Paisisvai (Red River), which is the Colorado, and grew grain and corn.

They sent out a message to the Temple of the Sun, asking the blessing of peace, good will and rain for people of one heart.

That messenger never returned, but today at the Hopi villages at sundown can be seen the old men of the tribe out on the housetops gazing toward the sun, looking for the messenger. When he returns, their lands and ancient dwelling place will be restored to them. That is the tradition.

Among the engravings of animals in the cave is seen the image of a heart over the spot where it is located. The legend was learned by W.E. Rollins, the artist, during a year spent with the Hopi Indians.

There are two theories of the origin of the Egyptians.

One is that they came from Asia; another that the racial cradle was in the upper Nile region. Heeren, an Egyptologist, believed in the Indian origin of the Egyptians. The discoveries in the Grand Canyon may throw further light on human evolution and prehistoric ages.

This whole discovery has been covered up and disappeared.

That's not to say it's not true though. The question is, why would something like this be covered up and what other evidence out there correlates with this story?

The first person to put this story into the light since the original print in 1909 was
Jack Andrews. He has since tried to contact the Smithsonian about Kinkaid and Jordan's involvement with the Smithsonian and this alleged find. Here is the response he got:

Your online inquiry of May 17 has been received in this office for response.

Staff in our Office of Smithsonian Archives advises that neither G.E. Kincaid nor S. A. Jordan were ever employed by the Smithsonian.

Further, they have no proof that these people ever existed. These two names appear in an article published in the Phoenix Gazette on April 5, 1909 that alleges that G.E. Kincaid and S.A. Jordan were Smithsonian employees responsible for locating Egyptian temples in the Grand Canyon.

Please note, however, that this story is untrue. The only records of G. E. Kincaid and S.A. Jordan in the Smithsonian Archives are the 1909 Phoenix Gazette newspaper article, from which this myth appears to have originated, inquiries regarding the story, and the Smithsonian Institution responses to those letters.

Your interest in the Smithsonian Institution is appreciated.
I find the response of the Smithsonian interesting. It almost seems a bit aggressive, why do they need to mention that they never existed. To be employed is one thing and to not exist is another. They also go to note that the story is untrue indicating that the only evidence that the Smithsonian has on the subject is the article itself, calling it a myth.
In this email they state that these people never existed and the story is a myth and untrue. Basically putting the nail in the coffin.
But why would the Smithsonian cover up something like this?
Because it would change the entire history of North America as we know it and would not align with how history was written up to that point in history. Believe it or not, there is precedence for the Smithsonian losing information about discoveries that are deemed to not fit in with currently accepted dogma about the history of America and its interaction or lack thereof with other ancient civilizations. This story would definitely fit into that category.
There are also some flaws in the e-mail Jack got back from the Smithsonian. For one, the article never states that Kinkaid and Jordan were employees.
"G.E. Kincaid and S.A. Jordan were Smithsonian employees responsible for locating Egyptian temples in the Grand Canyon"
The article states that Kinkaid had "thirty years of service of the Smithsonian" meaning that he was a freelance contractor which was not uncommon for the Smithsonian to have.
The article also states that
"under the direction of Professor Jordan the Smithsonian is now prosecuting the most through examinations"
This simply states that Jordan was "directing" which meant that he may have been brought in from outside the Smithsonian to direct the investigations. This proves that the Smithsonian almost did no research into the subject and really just give a quick skim over the article with a skeptical and biased eye but are quick to say these people never existed and that the story is untrue.

Let's take a look at some of the other stories that seem to correlate with the article printed in 1909.

It's in this same area that the Hopi Indians lived and is where many of their stories and traditions come from. One old Hopi tale from "The book of the Hopi" mentions that the Hopi people had originated from an underground cavern system in the Grand Canyon, instead of having migrated from the west.
One could speculate that perhaps the the Hopi, "the people of the one heart", had been specially bred as a slave race by and for "the people of the two hearts", and later rebelled and escaped to become the Native American peoples we know today.
Who exactly were the "people of the one heart" and "people of the two hearts"?
The people of the one heart are people who are honest, whereas the people of the two hearts are people who say one thing, but are thinking another, liars; those who speak with a "forked tongue".

Seth Tanner was a Mormon settler who established the Tanner trail in the Grand Canyon National Park. He was chosen by Brigham Young to go on an expedition to search out a suitable place for settlement on the Little Colorado River.
Once he settled along the Little Colorado River his exploration grew among the area. One day as he was exploring the area he came upon a cave that was held sacred to the Hopi. The cave was the Hopi's place were their people originated from correlating with the story above.
The fact that he simply saw this sacred ground upset the Hopi a great deal.
Normally in this situation he would have been killed immediately, but one of Tanner's wives was a Hopi so his life was spared, but the issue was still at hand that an outsider had laid eyes on this sacred site and the Hopi elders decided that he was to be blind for the remainder of his life.
The Hopi put a type of powder into his eye's which turned them a cloudy white and made him go blind. Interestingly enough with you read stories about his life, this part of the story has been left out. Why?

John Wesley Powell was the first person to travel the entire Colorado River and explored the Grand Canyon from 1896 to 1872 (before the article was published).
In his book "Explorations of the Colorado River and its Canyon's" he writes:
"In this, great numbers of caves are hollowed out, and carvings are seen which suggest architectural forms, though on a scale so grand that architectural terms belittle them. As this great bed forms a distinctive feature of the canyon, we call it Marble Canyon."
"I walk down the gorge to the left at the foot of the cliff, climb to a bench, and discover a trail deeply worn into the rock. Where it crosses the side gulches in some places steps have been cut. I can see no evidence of its having been traveled for a long time.
It was doubtless a path used by the people who inhabited this country anterior to the present Indian races ~ the people who built the communal houses of which mention has been made. I returned to camp about three o'clock and find that some of the men have discovered ruins and many fragments of pottery; also etchings and hieroglyphics on the rocks"
Now compare Powell's description with G. E. Kinkaid's entrance to the cave from the article published in 1909.
“I saw on the east wall, stains in the sedimentary formation about 2,000 feet above the river bed. There was no trail to this point, but I finally reached it with great difficulty. Above a shelf which hid it from view from the river, was the mouth of the cave. There are steps leading from this entrance some thirty yards from what was at the time the cavern was inhabited, the level of the river. When I saw the chisel marks on the wall inside the entrance, I became interested, securing my gun and went in."
Many people say there is no way any of this story can be true. 

Modern day archeologist dismiss anything remotely related to any stories like this because it's not what they were taught.  It's funny that just because something isn't written in any history books it's discounted as false. 

We live in a world that's dictated so heavily that intelligent people aren't allowed to think for themselves. 

How do we know that what has been written in the history books is real in the first place? 

Because why would any government lie to their people?

I personally feel it's all dictated in order to paint a picture of how the people in power want history to be known.  It's just like the tale of Christopher Columbus, some guy who was well known throughout Europe sailed a ship to America and claimed it as his own, and there for he was the one who "discovered" America. 

Non-sense, simply non-sense.  The only reason this is what is taught in American history is so we have an understanding of how "America" was started and by using the word "discovered" it takes out our vision of taking over a land from native people. 

It's also now been proven that Vikings came here long before Columbus anyway.  
There are so many old artifacts in North America that prove this land has been inhabited much longer than previously thought, by many different races other than the Native Americans. 

Did you know there are 5000 year old pyramids in North America?  No, that's because they call them mounds, history as "they" want it to be written.

There is so much more to North America then what is written in the history books and what is presented in Museums. 

I know you, my readers, know the following warnings to be true.

DON'T BE FOOLED
BY THE POWER OF DICTATED HISTORY. 

It's all dictated, edited and published as our government sees fit.  Remember, that it's people with power who decide what is historical fact and what is fiction.  We all must allow ourselves to see beyond what is taught to us in public schools. 

Public knowledge is not just there for your convenience, but it's there to set you train of thought is such a way that you accept everything that is published through the authority of our government. 

Open and attain your attainable mind!

  1. I find it interesting that some would automatically assume the Hopi were some type of slave race indicating their ancestors were not capable of making copper pots or carving out stone rooms. It must have been those "civilized" people bearing the brunt of the great advances.

    There is definitely a tendency for discredited institutions like the Smithsonian, academics, the vatica and others to simply make up a party line and ride with it at all costs.

    I was going to post something on this but you did such a good job I will just link it and add a few comments.

  2. I would like to know where the photos came from of the interior and the budda? Also the cave pictured on the river can't be the cave with the artifacts, if nothing else it doesn't fit the description of being hard to access. How come the two people who found the cave can't be found anywhere? Also there are video of people hiking trails in the same are you say are forbidden to hike in in the Grand Canyon Park. desert8242@yahoo.com

  3. Those who found it are dead for a very very long time since the discovery was over a hundred years ago.

    Hard to access, yep. Straight up or straight down, almost invisible to the eye some of them.

    Yes parts of the park are closed off. As to the origin of the photos, most of them are from the Smithsonian.

  4. If you have Google Earth, you will note that someone 'SOdhner' has placed a symbol that says 05APR1909 Temple Nearby' at approximately 42 miles upstream of Crystal Creek. You will also note that a desert track runs nearly due SE to this point on the rim, from across the nearby reservation.

    However, if you pan further upstream, a bit less than 6 miles, you are in the Marble vicinity. On the east wall there is an 'erroneous' tag that reads 'California.' Focus on this point (set your scale to about 4000ft. Look at the same strata, approx 2000 above the floor like Kincaid relayed. Turn your aerial photos back to 9/21/1992. Mostly a low res blur. Now, forward to 9/24/1992.

  5. Nonsense. This canyon has been hiked from end to end and all over. There are no closed areas -- you simply need a permit to hike anywhere your heart desires. I've been hiking the canyon for the past thirty years. All of these pictures are from well known places. The most startling thing about this bogus hoax is the fellow who traveled down the river alone -- back in the days before rubber rafts and lifejackets. What a crock!

  7. Why would you ask the Smithsonian for "... ancient Egyptian Artifacts....discovered in the Grand Canyon..." would you either:

    A. Ask for Ancient American Artifacts
    ~or~
    B. Artifacts of any kind

    Found in the Grand Canyon???

    That's like asking a Canadian if they have any ancient Etheopian Artifacts, almost as if you are hoping they say no.

    You have to ask the correct question in order to get a response.

    PS: Tad, they found the cave already, with the Steps that Kincaid described, and they have found other catacombs with 50 foot high ceilings. You are one of those debunkers who come onto sites to try to spread doubt, which is just more of the cover up. NO Person has or ever will in 1,000 lifetimes discover all there is to know about the GC.

  8. The photo from entrance of cave is actually from the Helme Cave, in Estonia. Took me two minutes to find it, so you got to better your research skills, so you dont go around spreading lies and false claims

  9. The John Westly Powell River History Museum is located in Green River, Utah.
    John Westly Powell had previously reported the Pyramids in Wisconsin and along the Mississippi River to the US Department of the Interior.
    The John Westly Powell River History Museum has all of his information of his discoveries including the Bones of a Dinosaur that he discovered that has been erected in the Museum.

    There is a whole article with much more information and an actual picture of the John Westly Powell, River History Museum sign.

  10. Where are the surface entrances? Where is the guy with the M16 guarding the entrance? Everybody knows there is no gold in the Grand Canyon so why did Teddy Roosevelt pass a law against gold mining? Maybe the Egyptians claimed ownership to the North American continent in 1430 BC and the Smithsonian does not want to open a can of worms? Maybe the Arch of the Covenant is hidden in the cave? What prevents a helo from repelling explorers during the night? Where is the video surveillance cameras? I want to explore the caves with my new LED flash light.
