This Egyptian Tunnel City was named Kincaids Cave for G.E. Kincaid who first entered the Cave when he was working for S. A. Jordan.

helme_cave-tunnel430.jpg

This Picture is the entrance to Powells Cave in the Grand Canyon.
This Cave was named Powells Cave because John Westly Powell discovered
the Cave .
John Westly Powell wrote in his report to the Government which he also Published in a Book.
In this Canyon, great numbers of Man made Caves are hollowed out.
I first walked down a gorge to the left of a Cliff and climbed to a Bench of the Cliff.
There was a Trail on the Cliff Bench that was deeply worn into the Rock Formation.
Where the Trail crossed some Gulches some Steps had been cut. I could see no evidence that the Trail had been traveled in a long time.
I returned to our Camp about 3:00 PM and and the men had found more Egyptian Hieroglyphics on Cliff Walls near the Cave.

G. E Kincaid served in the Marine Corp. After retiring he worked for S. A. Jordan as a Acchaelogist.
S. A Jordan was sent to the Grand Canyon by the Smithsonian Institute to investigate the information that was reported by John Westly Powell. ( this is the reason GEK is not associated with smithsonian he was working for a person working for smithsonian)
The Tunnel is presently on Cliff Wall 395 feet above the present flow of Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Archaelogist estamate the Man Made Cavern is around 3,000 years old.
The Man made Cavern is over Five Hundred feet long and has several cross Tunnels to large Chambers.
This was the lowest level and last Egyptian Tunnel City they built in the Grand Canyon.
Since the time that this Egyptian Tunnel City was made, Archaelogist estimate the Colorado River has eroded another 300 feet lower.

Smithsonian Archaelogist have studied the Egyptian Hierpglyphs on the Walls to this Man made Cave and they are identical to the Hieroglyphs for some Kings in Egypt.
The additional Egyptian writings has more additional information than was previously known about these Egyptian Kings also.



grandcanyonshrine%2520429.jpg



This is a Gold Artifact for the Egyptian King named Khyan, Khian or Khayan was found in the Egyptian Tunnel City in the Grand Canyon
The Egyptian Shrine is holding Egyptian Lotus Flowers in both Hands. Lotus Flowers originated as Native Flowers in Egypt.
The Egyptian Shrine was in the first cross Tunnel in the Tunnel which was in the exacatly the same location that the Shrines were in the Valley of the Kings Tunnel Cities were Egyptian Kings lived, before the Kings of Ancient Egypt begain to build Pyramids and above gound Cities in Egypt.
The Archaeological meaning of the power Beams raidiating to the Hieroglyphic symbols for the Ancient Kings Hieroglyphic Symbols
means Khyan, Khian or Khayan was a powerfull King in Egypt.
Khyan, Khian or Khayan was recorded as a Decendent of Zaphnath or (Joseph) that was the King of Egypt from 1610 to 1580 at Avaris Egypt where King Zatnnath ruled Egypt from also.
All Kings and Pharaoh's had different Egyptian Hieroglyphs for symbol identification.
Both the Symbol and name of Khyan is on the base of his Shrine.
The top symbol on the the Base of his Shrine in the left side top of his center Hieroglyph is the Hebrew Semitic Son of the Right Hand that meant first born Son.
Then in the Center of the Base is the Hieroglyphic symbol for Khyan with his power beams and he is holding the Staff of the Lord in one Hand.
There is no doubt about the identification for Khyan or that he was a decendent of King Zaphnath in Egypt who was ( Joseph ) in the Bible.
King Kyan sat on the Throne of his Ancester King Zaphnath at Aravis Egypt also.

This Shrine is in Powells Cave. He is holding a Egyptian Lotus Flower in one Hand.
John Westly Powell wrote, we explored the Cave and found this Shrine and other Artifacts. That evening I sent a team member to notifie the Smithsonian Institute of our discovery.
We contuined to Survey the Canyon and discovered more Egyptian Tunnel Cities.
I estimate in my Report that I think that upwards of 50,000 Egyptians had inhabited the Grand Canyon at one time.
This Shrine was identified as a Shrine for Seteprene sometimes spelled Smenkhare Seti or Smenkare.
King Seteprene was King Akhenaten's Son that begain his Rule in Saqqara Egypt in 1336 BC but only lasted 10 Years which was when he died on his last trip to Saqqara Egypt.
This may be the reason that his Shrine was not ever covered with a hammered Gold Sheet of thin Gold.

egyptian-urns-427.jpg



The Egyptian Urnes found in Powells Cave in the Grand Canyon are now on display at the Smithsonian Institute at Washington DC.

This Gold Tablet that was recovered from the Egyptian Tunnel City in the Grand Canyon was a History Book including names that begain with King Zaphnath coming to Aztlan and the information for his decendent King Khyan coming to the Grand Canyon.
On the left bottom of the Artifact is (^II) symbol for the 2nd Land of Egypt named Memphis by King Zaphnath.
On the top left is ( F ) which meant ( F+amily ) in the Armenian Semitic Language that He Spoke.
More history for Aztlan was on the back side of the Gold Artifact

alphabet%2520427.jpg


This Diagram was a important discovery for the Smithtonian Archaelogist who were exploring the Powells Tunnel in the Grand Canyon.
This is a Diagram for Egyptian Writing System when the Ancient Egyptians came to the Grand Canyon.
It was a School Tablet used for teaching Egyptian Children to Read and Write.
The Animal and Bird Symbols were used to describe the Ranks of the Kings on the Egyptian Hieroglyphs carved into the Cliff Walls of the Grand Canyon.
It is interesting to note the Rectangle Box on the top 2nd Row from the left is the Hebrew Ark of the Covenents symbol.
And then lower in the same Row is the Box without a bottom which was the Hebrew Son of the Right Hand symbol.

1-%2520431.jpg


This Artifact was from Kincaids Tunnel.
Even though the many large other smaller Images were found in the Tunnel in the Grand Canyon, this Artifact was a important discovery for Smithsonian Archaelogist.
It is a Artifact is for King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertli. Their Ancester's and Children's names are on the Artifact.
The Egyptian name of Zaphnath or (Joseph) is one of their Ancesters.
It is recorded that Akhenaten restored the Semitic Religion of Amon in Egypt at Saqqare Egypt.
Akhenaten was the recorded Ruler in Egypt from 1353 to 1336 BC.
His son Seteprene was also a Egyptian Ruler in the Grand Canyon and was recorded as a King at Saqqara Egypt also.
This Egyptian information means that Egyptian Kings came to the Grand Canyon at various times but also made return trips to Egypt.

First%2520Egyptian%2520Cities.jpg


When the Egyptians came to the Grand Canyon around 1700 BC they begain building Tunnel Cities in the Vermillion Cliff Walls into the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
The Egyptians first selected overhangs that had Balconies so the Kings could walk to edge of the Plataeu Balconies and look at the Farming and Mining that was located at lower levels of the Grand Canyon.
The Egyptian Kings had their Egyptian Hieroglyphic Symbols on the Canyon Walls around their Tunnel Cities and on the Grand Canyon Cliff Walls.
The Kiabab Plataeu is around 8,000 feet above the present flow of the Colorado River in the Grand Grand Canyon.

f_16egypt%2520428.jpg







These Gold Artifacts from Kincaid Tunnel are the only Artifacts on display in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington DC. from the Grand Canyon.
The back Two Artifacts are for Artifact King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertli.

kaibab%2520and%2520vermillion%2520cliff%2520428.jpg


These Cliff Walls were the Top Cliff Walls that were above the large Kiabab Plataeu of the Grand Canyon.
All of the Egyptgian Temples are are on the North side of the Grand Canyon also.

The Kiabab Plataeu of the Grand Canyon. In Areas of the Plataeu Water slowly seeps into the open Grass Meadow Lands to keep the Fertile Soil Moist.
We have estimated that it would be easy to Grow enough Food in the Moist Grass Lands to feed at least 500,000 People.
The estimate for the Number of Egyptians that were in the Grand Canyon is 50,000 People.
It is likely that whatever extra Food that was grown in the Kiabab Plataue was exported to Egypt.

Walhalla%2520428.jpg






The Walhalla Ruins. These Ruins in the Kaibab Plataeu of the Grand Canyon are being Excavated.
Because of the Plundering of Artifacts even by Smithtonian Archaelogist,
FBI Agents attend Excavating Teams in the Grand Canyon and now at all Sites in the United States.

Grand Canyon National Park was named an official National Park in 1919.
The National Park Service has a Policy of preserving the History of Native American Indians when establishing Parks.
They lived on the North Kiabab Rim of the Grand Canyon where the Egyptian Pyramids are located.
And they knew the names of the Egyptian Pyramid Temple names that are located under the North Kiabab Rim of the Grand Canyon.
The Hopi Indians have a God named Taawa. He has a Mans Face that smiles all of the time and has a good Heart.
The Hopi Indians still use a large number of original Egyptian words in their Language.

Set%2520%2520Pryamid%2520427.jpg


The Tower of Set, actualy the ( Seteprene ) Pryamid was named by the Hopi Indians.
The Tower of Set, was the First Pyramid to be built in the Grand Canyon as a burial Tomb for King Seteprene that came to the Grand Canyon.
All of the Egyptian Hiegroglyphs have eroded off of the Pyramid.
The Set Pyramid has Rectangle Shape simular to the first Pyramids in Egypt.

Zoroaster_templegrandcanyon%2520430.jpg


Zoroaster Temple in the Grand Canyon was named by Hopi Indians.

[ The Egyptian legend for Zoroaster. ]
Zoroaster was in Egypt when times were hard and Egypt was becoming a Poor Nation.
But Zoroasters first name had been ( Joseph ) because he had a God that was higher in the Heavens than their Sun God named Ra that knew what the Pharaoh's dream meant.
He built a big Boat that had Wings (Sails) that would carry many People and found more Grain and Gold for the Egyptians.
When he came back to Egypt in his Boat loaded with Gold, Grain, the Pharaoh made him the Ruler of Egypt and called him Zaphenat-Pa'aneah.
And Pharoah was like a Father to King Zaphnath Paaneah.

ALAW0ES%2520430.jpg


The Smithsonian Archaelogist think that that this unfinished Egyptian Pyramid in the Grand Canyon is a burial Tomb because there is a entrance Tunnel that is blocked a few feet inside the Pyramid..
But the National Park Sevrice will not allow the Archaeologist to excavate any of the Pyramids in the Grand Canyon.

egyptian-mummies344.jpg


One of Crips was opened in the Grand Canyon to see if there were Mummies in them before they were sent to the Smithsonian Institute Storage Building.

enthr-3.jpg


This Artifact is from Kincaids Tunnel in thr Grand Canyon.
This Artifact found in the Egyptian Tunnel City in the Grand Canyou was identified as being a Artifact for King Aperanat who sat at Saqqara Egypt also.
In Egypt, King Aperanat was known as the powerfull King that Ruled Foreigners also.

Anubis.jpg


This Copper Statue in Kincaids Tunnel in the Grand Canyon was identified as a Shrine for Anubis. It is impossable that he was ever in the Grand Canyon.
Anubis was a famous Egyptian Embalmer that beleived in a after life.

furnace%2520428.jpg


The Egyptians Mined Copper, Silver, and Gold from the Grand Canyon. There are many Ruins of Egyptian Metal Smelters and Furnaces in the Grand Canyon.
These Metal Smelters and Furnaces are located on the Second Plataeu of the Grand Canyon and there are several Mining Tunnels and Egyptian Tunnel Cities in the Cliff Walls of Second level Grand Canyon Plataue.

Iris%2520Temple%2520428.jpg


Even though the Iris Temple in the Grand Canyon is now badly eroded, a few of of the Ancient Egypyian Hieroglophs can still be seen on the Cliff Walls of the Temple.
The Temple also has a obvious Entrance, but only a few feet into the Temple the Entrance is closed.
The National Park Service will not allow any excavations of the Pyramid Temples.

IsisS.jpg


This small Gold Artifact was found in Kincaids Tunnel. This Artifact for Iris in currently on display in the Smithsonian Institute at Wagington DC.
[ The Egyptian Legend for Iris the Goddess of Power and Love]
She was the First Daughter of Gad, who was the first God of Earth in Egypt.
Her Heart was full of love. The Hearts of her Love are on the Base of this Image of her.

0-270.jpg

This Gold Artifact from Kincaids Tunnel is for Amaunet the Secret One.
[ The Egyptian Legend for Amaunet the the Secret One and the Goddess of the Heaveans;]
Amaunet laid big Egg that shined like Gold. This was the first Sun light in Egypt.
Then Amaunet saw that she had Wings and flew from the Heavens to Egypt and then everybody in Egypt knew who Amaunet was and Amaunet was no longer Amaunet the Secret One.

Tower%2520of%2520Ra%2520429.jpg


The Hopi Indians told Grand Canyon Park Rangers that this was the Tower of Ra.
Only a few eroded Egyptian Hieroglyphs can still be seen on the Tower of
Ra.

grand%2520canyon%2520enterainment%2520427.jpg


The Egyptians Built some large Entertainment Centers in the Grand Canyon.
The Buildings had Wood Roofs that are no longer on the Buildings.
These Entertainment Centers had large Feilds for Foot Races and Games and had Shower Rooms and Homes for the Different Athelete Teams.
The centers also had large Theaters for Musical Concets and Kitchens to prepare Meals for the Egyptian Kings, Atheletes, and Musicians.

canyon%2520legends427.jpg


The Tunnel Complex that Mr. G. E. Kinkaid found was a Burial Chamber
The Mummies were placed in the Burial Chamber Walls on large Stone Blocks.
The Egyptians begain coming to the Grand Canyon according to the Carbon Dating of the Mummies Bones.
The Carbon Date for the oldest Mummy was around 1600 BC.


That help?

You realize that the 'information' on the website you cut/pasted from is totally fabricated nonsense from start to finish? Right?

The GC legend is intriguing, sure, but unless you're just trying to goof us with this tripe, you might search out serious people who've looked into it and see what they say. Jack Andrews is one, or at least was, years ago. I don't know if all his work is still online these days, but he presented some rational ideas.

Which is why I just posted a link, not everything at the page...

Boy- it took a lot of work to put together this information. Now how about a little more about the Egyptian Navy. First, are we talking Old Kingdom or New Kingdom? There is a difference. Did you know there really WAS an ancient Egyptian navy? Well, there was and it was well documented in written texts (hieroglyphics) of the time which are still extant. That's the good news for the theory. Now for the bad news. The primary use of the Egyptian navy was for communications up and down the Nile and for platforms for archers and for troops movements on the Nile. I believe it was during Ramesis' III's reign, the Egyptians had a war with the "sea peoples", who had these newfangled ships with MASTS as in sails who were a real threat to the Egyptians whose ships were made of reeds. Sorry, ships made of reeds have no sea use, and the Egypt had a land based economy, not a sea based one. They never sailed the Mediterranean Sea. So they are going to sail their ships made of reeds across the Atlantic and land in Arizona? The photos of the water eroded hills in the previous post are very good though.

Some of the pictured statues appear to be Asian and not Egyptian.That makes a good amount of the information in that post,suspect.

While I do not disagree with much of your post, I would recommend reading up on the expedition of queen Hatshepsut to Punt; special ships built to sail on the Indian ocean, the site of their secret port was recently discovered.
Hatshepsut and Oceanography, El-Sayed, Quarterdeck 3.1
Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt as recorded in Egyptian art
NOVA | Where Is Punt?

Much more is available online of course, but not all Egyptian ships were built of reeds; one of the other methods used for ship building was lashing planks together. Even so, reed boats are better than some give credit, as Thor Heyerdahl proved with his Ra Expeditions.

All of which does not prove that ancient Egyptians sailed to Arizona to end up in a remote cave in the Grand Canyon, much more evidence will be needed to prove such a contention.

Happy new year to you all, please do continue. :icon_thumright:

First two pictures could have been anywhere. The third picture was obviously edited. (Look at the blue in the background.) If you could not catch this - or chose not to - well, it really doesn't matter. You're not serious about this.

I went no further. There was no need to. Do you now understand the importance of evidence? Perhaps more important is the ability of a given person to evaluate the evidence at hand.

That help?

Quite a bit, actually. I'm off to another thread. I don't know whether you're trolling or you actually believe this, but the particulars no longer matter. This thread is back in your court.

LOL! Gotta remember that items can be "imported"; looks like a tunnel shrine to spiritual "influences" from Egypt, India (Buddhism.... OoooMMMM), etc. OOPS! OUT OF PLACE STUFF!

You may be wasting your energy on this one, Dave. Same gullibility expressed on this thread extends to much of the content in the 'Treasure Legends' category. The biggest challenge is separating a germ of wheat from a mountain of chaff.

I was shocked this week when I chatted with some 20-ish, well-educated young professionals back in town to see their parents for the holidays. The discussion turned to zombies, which these adults firmly believed in. Not just the voodoo drug thing exposed in the '60's, but the popular night-of-the-living-dead army of lurching killers that terrorize the population, "all over the country, man. Really." These are non-tattooed adults who hold good jobs with big companies that seriously are convinced. People can easily be convinced to believe anything.

It gives new meaning to the old joke Pharoah row row row your boat. Seriously some people aren't all there. Monday I saw a very well dressed young lady try to drive her Beemer on the beach. Epic fail.

With modern technology even areas off limits to people physically going there, I would think someone with a cheap radio controlled drone equipped with a camera could verify if these caves even exist. Just a thought.

KGCnewbieseeker .... While you are googleing things... try "Egyptian Revival" and "Victorian Egyptian Revival" and "Victorian Egyptian Revival Headstones" and you will see where most of the "artifacts" that are used as "proof" for these stories come from.


Also try "Hindu Statue" and "Buddhist Statue", and you will clearly see what the "Egyptian king" statues actually are....even the one that is obviously photoshopped with Egyptian hieroglyphics on the base and saguaro cactus in the background!

It would be interesting if this story were true...but the fact that it came out at the time of a heightened interest in everything Egyptian, is highly suspect.

Also, applying common sense to these "Egyptian cave" stories debunks them pretty quick.

The one supposedly in the Grand Canyon is so inaccessible that it can't be reached from the top or the bottom...but the supposed Simthsonian expedition was able to just come and go as they pleased, and people "stumbled" upon it?

The Burrows cave in Illinois was supposedly full of "artifacts" that run from obvious chopped up Egyptian Revival headstones, to highly suspect stone carvings with faces that depict several different cultural images, to replicas of gold items that were supposedly melted down....but the main problem that I have with this story is...the total lack of any Egyptian carvings on any walls in the area....I've never been to Egypt, but I know enough about it to realize that if there were Egyptians there carving on small rocks, they would definitely be carving all over the big ones!

I do believe that things that don't fit the accepted history in this country are suppressed...in some cases purposely, and in some cases just by academics that don't believe in any item that they weren't paid to dig up themselves!

I have seen things myself that don't fit the accepted timeline.

I have heard of a director at the Smithsonian in the late 1800's to early 1900's that actively tried to suppress archaeological anomalies.

I just don't buy into the "Egyptian" deal.

I think a lot of it had to do with land claims and "Manifest Destiny".

I think it's safe to say that the U.S. isn't going to give any land back to anyone at this point...or take any away from the American Indians....so I think it's time that the truth of things come to light.

Any time a skeleton or any human remains pop up that don't fit the "Asian migration of paleoindians" it is promptly confiscated by the closest recognized tribe under the American Indian Graves act. I think it would be ok for the truth to come out no matter what the outcome....It's a fact that the Indians were abused and mistreated, but if it came to light that they weren't the first ones here...it shouldn't matter...they were removed from the land they occupied, whether they "removed" their predecessors or not. An example are the Seminole Indians in Florida...They moved into Florida as a combined group from several different tribes after the Spanish were quite settled, and even some English and American settlers...but they have reservations in Florida, but they were no more native than anyone else.

I don't think we are going to hand over any land to any Scandinavian/Norse countries because Viking settlements were confirmed.....

So I think the truth should win out, and all things, no matter how controversial, should be properly investigated.
