An Egyptian tomb in the Grand Canyon similar to the Valley of Kings in Luxor, Egypt? An article published on the front page of the Phoenix Gazette on April 5,1909, claimed that just such an Egyptian rock-cut cave was found!
The Gazette article, dated April 5,1909, starts with four headlines, "Explorations in Grand Canyon", "Mysteries of Immense Rich Cavern Being Brought to Light", "JORDAN IS ENTHUSED" and "Remarkable Finds Indicate Ancient People Migrated From Orient."
From the Gazette article: "...the explorer who found this great underground citadel of the Grand Canyon during a trip from Green River, Wyoming, down the Colorado river, in a wooden boat, to Yuma..."
According to the story related to the Gazette, the archaeologists of the Smithsonian Institute, which is financing the explorations, 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 Rameses. If their theories are born out by the translation of the tablets engraved with hieroglyphics, 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 stagger the wildest fancy of the fictionist.
...
"...One room, about 40 by 700 feet, was probably the main dining hall, for cooking utensils are found here... Upwards of 50,000 people could have lived in the caverns comfortably"

This is way out there. Anyone happen to remember reading the April 5th, 1909 edition of the Phoenix Gazette?

The "Phoenix Gazette" change its name to "News of the World" in the 1940s.

"in a wooden boat, to Yuma..." Hey, I live in Yuma. I am sometimes suprised to find that anyone ever comes here willingly. LOL. It's so dang hot. It's fun to see where you live in stuff like this, even if it's 100 years old. I was also excited to see that they are re-making 3:10 to Yuma. Sorry, not exactly on-topic.
To: SunkenCiv
On second thought, probably not worth the ping. The source seems to be a little on the edge.
