The Lost Treasure of Grand Canyon

By Crusader1307

Regardless of the reputed facts, a strange story developed out of natural landmark in The US known as The Grand Canyon. The result of The Snake River carving the Canyon millennia ago, the location is visited by hundreds of thousands of persons from all over The Country and World. It is also the site of a very strange story. Widely decried ad a hoax, many facts are unsubstantiated with hints of cover-up abounding. In 1909, an "anonymous" story was published on the front page of The Arizona Gazette. The story detailed a "recent" exploration of Grand Canyon by The Smithsonian Institution. Under command by one Professor G.E. Kinkaide, a secreted cave was located. Upon making entry, Prof. Kinlaid came across a large Buddha-like statue. Deeper into the cave Kinlaide and his "team" went. The cave was easily described as being "large enough for 50,000 people", according to Kinkaide. He noticed the cave appeared to be carved out by a "strange process" Kinkaide was not aware of. The Cave began to yield strange and wonderful artificial from all the known great Civilizations of Ancient Earth. Caches of Egyptian, Persian, Greek and Roman art wad found. In addition, ''great hoards of Gold, Silver and jewels'' were uncovered. In addition, to these treasures, Prof. Kinkaide found hundreds of mummies (again from all over The World). He photographed the find and ad per The Gazette Article, The Smithsonian Institution was on the process of removing the treasures. The story actually garnered little attention until 1938, when research into the find yielded that The Smithsonian had no record of a "Professor Kinkaide", the treasure or any photographs. Further, the entrance to what became known as "Kinkaide's Cave", was sealed with a steel plate! The reason for the sealing was to protect an endangered species of bat. However, many feel that the horde of treasure was put there thousands of years ago by Extraterrestrial Explorers, preparing it for "transit" back to their "Home World". It should be noted that much of the Smithsonian's Egyptian treasures are not listed by the Egyptian Antiquities Department in Cairo. An unusual fact.
