Shrug. Back when newspapers, were ‘real’.

This may prove that ancient Israelite Hebrew explorers landed on the West Coast and before being exterminated by local Jewish Indians managed to inscribe their Mormon history upon gold plates written in Reformed Egyptian which lay hidden for centuries until discovered in New York by Prophet Joseph Smith and were translated using his Seer Stone in his hat.

Egyptians in the Grand Canyon? How could it have happened any other way?

The lack of followup may mean the hoax didn’t go off very well. People just weren’t interested.

I’ve always found it curious that the Grand Canyon is so deep but so narrow. One would think that such a long period of development time would have resulted in much more sloped and eroded sides, like virtually every other large, old, deep river canyon. It more looks like a rupture, than an erosion.

Anyone that could build the pyramids could surely dig the Grand Canyon. Back then it was known as The Fairly Impressive Canyon though.

The site is indeed close to a Navajo centre, which are one of the living descendants of the Anasazi, which means “ancient ones” in Navajo.

A more accurate translation is "Ancient Enemies." This has been obscured by PC, under which indigenous peoples, being nonviolent, have no enemies. (Except whitey.)

The Anasazi are not the ancestors of the Navajo, but rather the ancestors of the various Pueblo groups of NS and AZ.

Little Egypt now appearing in Arizona?

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Before Columbus; Links Between the Old World and Ancient America by Cyrus Gordon. Gordon was a professor at Brandeis. The book was published in 1971. So far I haven't read anything about the Grand Canyon, but there is a lot of interesting information in this book. And there is some timely wisdom about following the "consensus" in academic study.

Me thinks Jack Andrews wishes this were true, as do I, but alas, no further evidence since a 1909 western newspaper article. This is what they call a “tall tale”

[Bellflower]

He also stated that he had found an unknown gray metal, resembling platinum,

If this article is true (which most likely it is not, but who knows as truth can be stranger than fiction) this would be very interesting, an unknown metal dating back to thousands of years of years ago.

They are but ordinary pueblos and not likely Great Houses.

The stories are hyped Anasazi findings and quite ordinary from the Grand Canyon east to the Rio Grande

Fools! Don’t you realize that this wasn’t the work of Egyptians, but rather THEM, the ones from the Universe who taught the Egyptians about pyramids and such.

As soon as I have finished the prototype of my Alien-O-Meter, I’ll be able to travel through time and find them.
