The Ancient Grand Canyon Egyptian Colony

In 1909, two Smithsonian-funded archaeologists made the same claim. Today, if someone claimed to have found evidence that ancient Egyptians had lived in the United States thousands of years ago, they would be met with plenty of skepticism (well, maybe not, considering there are still people who believe the Earth is flat). Two archaeologists, Professor SA Jordan and GE Kinkaid, reportedly claimed to have discovered proof of an ancient Egyptian colony inside the Grand Canyon, according to an article published in the Arizona Gazette on April 5.

The two asserted to have discovered tablets with Egyptian hieroglyphs that they said proved the settlement was older than Ramses, as well as a number of unusual caves sculpted by human hands.
