Smithsonian Cover-Up: Ancient Egyptians and Giants in the Grand Canyon

[Music] in 1908 president Teddy Roosevelt wanted to declare the Grand Canyon off limits to all Timber and Mining operations it would take another 11 years for Congress to designate the Grand Canyon a national park sensing a final opportunity for adventure Explorer GE Kincaid took a boat down the Colorado River and Through the Grand Canyon the canyon was rich in minerals like gold silver and copper and Kincaid wanted to see what he could find before the area was closed off for good about 40 miles up River from the El Tovar Crystal Canyon Kincaid saw stains in

the sediment formation about 2 000 feet up he tied off the boat and got out to investigate Kincaid couldn't find a trail but after a short hike he found something interesting covered in desert brush steps hundreds of them carved in Sandstone steps that wound their way up to a high shelf on the side of the canyon he followed the steps until he came across a cavern entrance an entrance that was clearly man-made Kincaid entered the cavern and turned on his flashlight on the walls he saw writing but it wasn't English or Native American writing it

was Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics Kincaid lifted his flashlight and saw that the tunnel ran far into the distance he didn't realize it at the time but this was only the beginning [Music] when GE Kincaid tied off his small wooden boat to investigate the strange coloration of the rock wall he was hoping to find clues that would lead him to a mineral deposit he wasn't expecting to find hieroglyphics when Kincaid noticed chisel marks in the walls he drew his pistol turned on another light and slowly walked deeper into the Gloom he kept detailed notes of everything he

saw the main passageway is about 12 feet wide now we're into 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 or 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 GE Kincaid now realized he was in a huge complex he estimated that as many as 50 000 people could have lived here in some rooms he found granaries with shelves of glazed Pottery many of which still contain seeds he found cooking areas and a huge dining hall the rooms were full of

ancient artifacts Kincaid carefully wrapped a few small metal and ceramic objects for a later study another large room Kincaid described as an area for metal work a technology that should not have existed in this area here are found tools of all descriptions made of copper these people undoubtedly knew the Lost Art of hardening this medal which has been sought by chemicals for centuries without result on a bench running around a work room with some charcoal and other material properly used in the process there's also slag and stuff similar to Matt showing that these ancients smelted

oars but so far no trace of where or how this was is done has been discovered nor the origin of the ore GE Kincaid explored the underground complex for several hours still having no idea when this place was used what it was used for or who the builders were then he came across another large room a crypt the Crypt had shelf upon shelf and row upon row of mummies dozens of them at this point GE Kincaid realized that if he was going to explore this entire underground city he was going to need help [Music] GE

Kincaid sent a few artifacts to the Smithsonian along with his notes of what he found he requested financial and logistical support for what he felt was the most significant archaeological Discovery ever made the Smithsonian agreed a few weeks later Professor S.A Jordan arrived with a team of about 40 scientists researchers and laborers to excavate and explore the ancient underground city now with more lights and Manpower the scientists realized that the cave system layout wasn't random it was a symmetrical deliberate design the tunnels all led to a central chamber in the chamber was a large statue

of what Kincaid thought looked like Buddha like butter Buddha what'd I say over a hundred feet from the entrance is the cross Hall several hundred feet long and which are found the idle or image of the people's God sitting cross-legged with a lotus flower or lily in each hand the cast of this 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 no I didn't think we were allowed to say Oriental are we bringing it back uh we're not this was written over a hundred years ago oh right when we had freedom of speech no Oriental in this context just means Eastern because of this discovery Kincaid's team started calling the complex The Citadel the Crypt was one of the bigger rooms discovered now with enough light Kincaid was able to fully describe what he saw the wall slapped back at an angle of about 35 degrees on these are Cheers of monies each one occupying a separate Hume

Shelf at the head of each is a small bench on which is 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 Kincaid Jordan and the Smithsonian team explored the entire cave complex they were overwhelmed with evidence that this was not some Far Away Temple occupied by a few priests this was a huge City lived in by thousands of men women and children for hundreds or possibly thousands of years the question nobody could answer was who were they by the end of the Expedition GE Kincaid and Professor Jordan's team had discovered hundreds of rooms Barracks granaries metal working shops temples and many many living quarters though most of the rooms were empty thousands of artifacts

were found they found swords and shields made of copper bronze and a gray medal that scientists couldn't identify they thought it looked like Platinum they found Pottery urns utensils for cooking small yellow stones called Cat's eyes and large stone tablets all engraved with 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 tablets probably has something to do with the religion of the people similar hieroglyphics have been found

in Southern Arizona among the pitorial writings only two animals are found one is of prehistoric type even with all the relics and all the writing Kincaid and Jordan found they were still no closer to determining who built the Citadel in the Grand Canyon they thought some of the statues looked Tibetan but they weren't quite right they thought the writing looked Egyptian again that wasn't quite right there were experts on site none of whom could identify the statues or translate any of the text but there were two things that the researchers could agree on one the

civilization that built the Citadel was very Advanced far more advanced than the native tribes that occupied the area for a few thousand years this now Lost Civilization worked bronze many years before the Bronze Age began they understood division of labor and agriculture when every other Society on Earth was presumably still hunting and Gathering these are discoveries that went against everything that was taught in mainstream archeology and anthropology a civilization like this shouldn't exist what was the second thing what well you said the Eggheads agreed on two things what was the second thing right they agreed

that the civilization that built the Citadel in the Grand Canyon didn't emerge there locally this civilization arrived there from the other side of the world Kincaid and Professor Jordan sent boxes of artifacts and books full of notes and drawings back to the Smithsonian along with their hypothesis that an ancient civilization existed in the Grand Canyon thousands of years before Native Americans arrived in North America these people were technologically advanced educated skilled and spiritually complex and these people originated somehow in Egypt or Asia Kincaid wanted more resources and a larger team to help them research the

Citadel and search the Grand Canyon for more evidence of this Lost Civilization the request was denied and GE Kincaid and Professor essay Jordan were never heard from again [Music] in northern Arizona is one of the most spectacular natural wonders on Earth the Grand Canyon carved over millions of years by the Colorado River the Grand Canyon is more than just a pretty landscape and a spot for tourists to take selfies it's a place of deep spiritual significance for the people who've lived in the area the Hopi Navajo Zuni Apache and several other tribes have lived around

the Grand Canyon for several thousand years they still do Hopi mythology says that from the Grand Canyon the first people of the world entered the story says that many thousands of years ago a reptilian race emerged yep hey how many times do lizard people have to come up in these stories before you believe in him I I guess I'm gonna need a few more lizard people are gonna keep popping up you'll see thousands of years ago a reptilian race lizard people lizard people emerge from the Grand Canyon and changed into humans lizard people are shape-shifters

that would seem to be true other Pueblo cultures like the Zuni and the Acoma have similar legends that there were people there before the tribes lizard people Legends well some Legends say reptilians were there other Legends say a race of giants were there and there are rumors that skeletons of Giants have been discovered all over the western United States but the evidence has been suppressed you're suppressed by you the Smithsonian of course something I've learned from doing the show is that all myths and legends do carry a little bit of Truth we already have evidence

that people landed in North America before Columbus the Vikings famously explored and settled parts of Newfoundland 500 years before the quote-unquote new world was quote unquote discovered and there's growing evidence that ancient Chinese explorers landed in North and South America before the Vikings but landing on the east or west coast of America is one thing getting to the Grand Canyon is a whole other thing how could people get there and even if they could how did they have the technology to excavate millions of tons of rock in order to build an entire underground city well

we may have known the answer to that question for a thousand years traveling from Europe and Asia to America thousands of years ago was almost impossible almost many brave people did it but traveling to the Grand Canyon is a much more difficult task than landing on a California beach to get to and build in the Grand Canyon requires technology the Hopi have a very intriguing legend about the ant people these are humanoid creatures that are smaller than humans with pale skin and large eyes like an insect aliens according to Legend a series of cataclysms hit

the earth many thousands of years ago young adrias the Hopi were on the verge of being destroyed a sky God emerged from what they called a moving star UFO the sky God brought the Hopi to the ant people who escorted them to underground caves for protection the sky God then got back into his moving star and flew off above the clouds the PO'd have a legend about the have mussoos they're usually described as being humanoid in shape with golden skin and large eyes aliens they lived in a vast underground city and traded with Far Away

people they possessed weapons that the Pew described as silver tubes that shot lightning and can kill a man instantly bases and the most interesting part of the havmusive legend they supposedly flew silver canoes in the sky UFOs these craft made a humming sound and could maneuver like an eagle and move at Great speeds most ancient cultures have a flood myth they describe a global disaster that melted the ice caps and caused sea level to rise 400 feet entire cities were wiped out maybe even entire continents Atlantis most of these flood myths also talk about how

after the waters receded a god-like people came down from the sky these Gods gave humans the gift of civilization and taught them things they had forgotten before the great flood things like writing astronomy and agriculture could the city in the Grand Canyon be evidence of this time in history and if it is why would anyone want to suppress it all the information in today's episode comes from Two Front Page articles from the Phoenix Gazette published in 1909 and the years since mainstream researchers have decided that the Articles were a hoax a fantastic story designed to

sell newspapers in 19th century clickbait yep the media hasn't changed much unfortunately that's true but many people believe the story is real and the Smithsonian is covering it up Smithsonian public relations I'm here I'm here sorry I was on hold a long time um they transferred me to Marion yes this is Marion okay great my name is AJ and I'm with the y-files we're a YouTube channel that covers Mysteries YouTube the Y files is a channel on YouTube yes I wanted to talk to you about an article that was in the Phoenix Arizona Gazette in

1909 and they sent me to you I was hoping to ask you a couple of questions about that okay let me stop you no one gives you an artifacts of any kind has ever been found in North or South America sounds like you've given that speech before yeah it's never been involved in anything like this in the Grand Canyon or anywhere so GE Kincaid who recorded anyone by that name ever working for the Smithsonian the whole thing is a hoax yeah that's the prevailing belief but the Smithsonian has been accused of covering this up so

yeah yeah you probably don't want to talk about Giants or giant skeletons huh that's the official story Kincaid's cave is a hoax so no reason to try and find it nothing to see here even Kincaid himself wanted to keep people out first I would impress that the cavern is nearly inaccessible the entrance is 1486 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 archaeological discoveries being disturbed by curio or Relic Hunters a trip

there would be fruitless and the visitor would be sent on his way whether at the request of the Smithsonian or just to protect his find it was clear that Kincaid wanted to dissuade people from finding the Citadel but even over a hundred years later that wouldn't stop people from trying and some of those people they say they found it Jerry wills and his wife Kathy have been studying the Kincaid cave mystery for years their approach was find the original base camp of the Explorers which would lead them to the cave after years of research and

exploring the area where GE Kincaid said he found the cave Jerry and Kathy found a location covered in artifacts from that time and on the canyon wall just below this area they believe is the entrance to the underground city exploring is difficult though the entire area where the cave is supposed to be is designated off limits by the federal government you guys saw that coming about a thousand caves have been discovered in the Grand Canyon many of them man-made but only about 30 have been mapped and many of those have been sealed oh I close

them off oh for your safety but it's a bunch of yeah I don't buy the safety excuse either there are plenty of people who'd be willing to take the risk and they'd be willing to sign a waiver that says the government isn't responsible if something happens in fact people have tried this the government still says no it's too dangerous how nice did a government to look out for us isn't that nice then why is it legal to jump out of a plane or ride a roller coaster or drive a car some things in life are

dangerous but they're still worth doing some other caves in the Grand Canyon have been blocked by Steel Gates they say this is to protect the bat population did you say bats we have to protect the bats that's what they say we're having bats caused enough problems these last few years allegedly still people are willing to risk a fine or imprisonment to find the lost city in the Grand Canyon but anyone who goes looking should expect a response when Jerry and Kathy's team tried to explore the area suddenly an unmarked plane appeared clearly they were being

watched despite this part of the Grand Canyon being a no-fly zone and the fact that no aircraft is allowed to fly below the rim a plane appeared Jerry Wills is convinced this was a warning his team was unable to continue their expedition exploring the cave from above is almost impossible but what about exploring it from below as GE Kincaid did another group of explorers tried this as they approached the location a black helicopter showed up not a tourist helicopter not even a black civilian helicopter an Apache combat helicopter when this team explored the area above

looking for the ventilation shafts Kincaid wrote about and possibly a way down they found cement blocks in the middle of nowhere some of these blocks are platforms near the edge of the rim with hardware and anchors that would be used to assist Mountaineers when asked about this the authorities say these are reinforcing structures to prevent rock falls also in this forbidden zone rock formations have unusual names there is Isis Temple Tower of set Horus the kiops pyramid and raw there's also the Manu Temple the Buddha temple the Krishna Temple and the Sheba Temple and many

more names that refer to ancient Egyptian and Hindu cultures cultures that specifically have myths about a God helping civilization after the great flood the official word is the fact that these names exist within the grand Canyon's no-go zone is a coincidence but I don't really believe in those do you [Music] David Hatcher Childress is a French author who's published 200 books he often covers ancient Mysteries he believes the United States government is actively suppressing archaeological discoveries he mentions that while the film Raiders of the Lost Ark is fiction the final scene showing the warehouses close

to reality that the Smithsonian and independent Federal agency is hiding some of the most important discoveries made in the Americas he says the cover-up began in 1881 with famous geologist John Wesley Powell Powell appointed Cyrus Thomas the director of the Eastern Mound division of the Smithsonian institutions Bureau of ethnology when Thomas came to the Smithsonian he believed there was a race of mound builders that were distinct from and arrived before the American Indians this school of thought is called diffusionism which says throughout history there's been a widespread dispersion of culture and civilization even across great

distances the Smithsonian took the opposite approach it promoted isolationism which says most civilization nations are isolated from each other and have little contact especially when separated by large bodies of water it was held at the advanced and highly populated civilizations of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys were rare and that they didn't have contact with other Advanced cultures like the Aztecs the toltecs or the Maya but the Mississippi river runs from Canada all the way to the Gulf of Mexico to say these cultures were isolated is like saying that people in the Black Sea had no

contact with people in the Mediterranean that's ridiculous when ancient mounds of the American Midwest are examined they show the existence of a complex culture cities larger than those in Europe at the time they also show burials of extremely tall people sometimes seven or eight feet tall when the Spiro Mounds were excavated in the 1930s seven and eight foot tall skeletons were found at a time when the average height of a human male was about five foot six those skeletons have been lost in 1892 Stone coffins were discovered in Alabama by Frank Burns during a Geological

Survey the coffins were about seven and a half feet long hollowed out by fire and metal chisels the findings were sent to the Smithsonian in 1984 this report was found by researcher Frederick J pole he asked the Smithsonian about this they said we have not been able to find the specimens in our collections though records show that they were received oh how do you giant Stone coffins that weighed several tons I don't know and never underestimate the incompetence of the federal government eight years later the Smithsonian said they found the coffins but they were stored

in a warehouse that was contaminated by asbestos so nobody could go in there to see him during World War II a crew was building an airship in Alaska they excavated a mound that had gigantic human remains skeletons twice or three times the size of a normal human this report has been confirmed by multiple sources the Smithsonian collected the findings and that was the last anyone heard about it there were stories like this from Alaska all the way down to Mexico City an amazing Discovery is made the Smithsonian steps in the story disappears the saying skeletons

in your closet means you have secrets you don't want revealed secrets that if discovered would be embarrassing and possibly dangerous in the case of the Smithsonian skeletons in the closet could be taken literally but the government literally has evidence that an advanced race was in North America long before the native tribes arrived evidence they don't want revealed mainstream science says this is nonsense but the Hopi and other Grand Canyon tribes do believe this the Hopi say that when the first people emerged from the Grand Canyon they sent a message to the temple of son asking

for a blessing of peace that messenger hasn't returned but even today in Hopi Villages at sundown tribal Elders can be seen on rooftops gazing toward the Setting Sun waiting for the messenger to come home and when he does the ancient land will be returned to the first people now that's an optimistic belief the United States spent 200 years taking Land from the first people you really think they're going to give it back [Music] thank you so much for hanging out with me today my name is AJ that's hecklefish this has been the y-files if you
