There are times when an archaeologist will go missing in their hunt for some answers.
But most of the time, they never turn out with anything.
On the other hand, there is a case of an archaeologist who disappeared and ended up finding some
giant skeletons.
What’s even more intriguing is the fact that these skeletons were found under the
Grand Canyon.
So, what happened?
And how did the archaeologist even get lost?
Let’s find out.
The Lost Archaeologist On April 5th, 1909, the Phoenix (Arizona)
Gazette published a groundbreaking article that shook the world of archaeology to its
core.
This article revealed the discovery of an underground city in the Grand Canyon, unlike
anything we've ever seen before.
The explorer, GE Kinkaid, stumbled upon this hidden world while rafting on the Colorado
River, and what he found was nothing short of breathtaking.
Imagine entering a tunnel that stretches over 1600 meters underground and finding a massive
chamber adorned with copper weapons and tablets covered in mysterious hieroglyphic characters.
But the most astonishing find of all was the discovery of mummified bodies, none of which
were less than 2.74 meters tall, all wrapped in dark linen.
Could this be the remnants of a lost civilization that possessed advanced engineering skills?
And what about the similarities between the hieroglyphic characters found in the Grand
Canyon and those found in Egypt?
Despite the Smithsonian Institute's denial of any knowledge of this discovery, the mystery
of the giant skeletons in the Grand Canyon remains unsolved.
It is legend then that the team, influenced by a member who is the grandfather of the
writer, discovers the site and, instead of being relocated to the Smithsonian as they
had planned, is ordered to seal it and never return.
This did not deter their first trip into the cavern.
In order to protect the Grand Canyon site from a group that was known to be funded by
the Smithsonian, Kincaid hires a guerrilla-style expedition team to aid him in his investigation
of the finding and possibly reveal the secret to the public.
Shortly afterward, he died of mysterious causes, and the truth behind his findings was veiled.
This narrative description follows the expedition of a long-lost archaeologist, Kincaid, who
ventured into the Grand Canyon, seeking the secret hidden cavern rumored to hold ancient
Egyptian artifacts.
What he discovered instead, but not publicized, was what Kincaid described as the "Underground
Citadel of the Grand Canyon."
This massive underground cavern system is reported to be the true location of the site
of Egypt and the resting place of ancient relics.
Dr. Kincaid was the first person since the Egyptians to discover a culture and language
in the Grand Canyon.
Later in life, Kincaid was awarded a Grand Canyon National Monument contract, and the
Secretary of the Interior personally congratulated him for his achievement, which was no small
matter.
He was given unlimited funding and the use of the most modern equipment to aid his research.
This is where the lesser-known yet amazing story of the Kincaid discovery begins.
The caves are off-limits to all but government-sponsored explorers.
A close friend of the Smith family took a 3-day journey into the caverns through a lower-floor
entrance that connected to the caverns.
He claimed it was a very long and strenuous hike, but after three days, they reached an
area right near the Grand Canyon National Park underground Supai.
The government-sponsored explorer then took him to Kincaid's cave, and he said he was
nowhere near the caves he had just come from.
After several months of surveying and inspections, he came upon one of the largest underground
caverns in the Grand Canyon, but to his surprise, it was blocked by a cave-in within the cave.
He and his team of explorers shoveled for an entire day to get the rocks and rubble
out of the way.
After several hours of laying planks into the cave to make a pathway down for easy access,
they finally descended into the cavern.
This whole expedition was pretty interesting as it was, given that this was unnoticed.
However, it is what they found in this cave that left everyone surprised.
But what about the giant skeletons?
Keep watching to learn more about them.
It is no accident that the Grand Canyon has been the focus of the attention of both the
learned and unlearned in the quest for lost cities and the civilizations that may have
produced them.
The vastness of the area and the great depth of the bed of the Colorado River have long
suggested that this might be an excellent place to look for some of the more anciently
lost cities of man.
Material from many of the earlier periods of man's history might well be exposed in
the walls of the canyon or in the side canyons as a result of the greatly disturbed condition
of the region's geology.
It is said, for example, that in the early days, the miners of the Hualapai and other
Indian tribes who lived along the canyon's rim used to find what appeared to be prehistoric
implements and other artifacts in great quantities in the cave of the Coconino sandstone.
One of the best places in the country to look for evidence of very early man is in the gravel
and talus deposits left by the now-vanished streams high above the canyon floor.
Here, it would not be at all surprising to find tools or perhaps even the remains of
the pits and habitations of some of the first immigrants who came to the new world from
Siberia.
But alas, although numerous individual archaeological finds are of considerable interest from all
periods of man's history, no large-scale archaeological work has ever been carried out in the Grand
Canyon region.
And herein lies a notable void in the history of canyon science.
The Astonishing Findings Unveiling The Giant Skeletons Highly contrasting
evidence will undoubtedly be provided that the identity of the ancient giants, and the
majority of this heading, may not be essentially recognized.
The best thing to remember is that not a grave robbery and seizure of giant skeletons have
ever been made a best-in-class media event; instead, these have come to light erratically
by the broader society.
Another peculiar detail discovered about the skeletons is the double line of teeth, upper
and lower.
The double-rowed teeth appear to be consistent in all the skeletons found, but it is not
recognized if this is a result of multiple individuals or if it was common for the giants.
What was handy, moreover, were Egyptian hieroglyphics, which recorded the giants who had once wandered
on earth.
These giants are described as being aggressive and ignorant, taking whatever they wish by
force.
Data on uncovered giant skeletons is plentiful; alleged "Goliath" skeletons have been revealed
on all of the ten islands.
In the course of recent years, various giant-sized human skeletons have been revealed inside
the jungle or in various waterway associations.
Ranging in size from 7 feet to a grand-sized 18 feet tall, the outcome of these discoveries
has created a colossal amount of enthusiasm amongst the overall population and scholarly
groups.
In chapter 6, for example, Michael Hearns from New Zealand describes his experiences
with local giants and his research into giant DNA.
The early Polynesian inhabitants of New Zealand were linked with extinguishing giants, as
per legends carried out by the Maori people.
In a more recent account, Mr. Hearns was hunted down by what he refers to as "covert government
external security" after writing a book on the same topic.
A farmer supposedly showed Hearns remains that belonged to a giant, and he set up arrangements
for acquiring the bones, though they were taken before he could obtain them.
DNA testing of the bones was prevented, and the remains were never recovered.
A very strange interview between Michael Hearns and a private investigator hired to look into
the theft can be found on his website.
This account typifies the experiences relayed by various researchers once they have made
significant progress in finding the remnants and truths about these beings.
This group of giants has a history.
It is a compilation of various essays by Steve Quayle, aiming to provide a single resource
for the ongoing search for ancient man.
This book serves as an index into the minds of different ancient man researchers, and
the authors' findings are truly intriguing.
Curve...
Have indicated that the early giants had several features that were unusual and not similar
to what is seen in modern, normal-sized humans.
The skeletal records and XP of these beings suggest that various parts of their anatomy
and physiology were different.
A summary of some of the unique findings includes double-row teeth found in Manchester, Kentucky.
A large skull with double dentition in both upper and lower jaws was reported.
In addition, another maxilla and several jaw bones with double dentition were recorded
in the central part of the state.
Twenty miles south of Alton, Missouri, another double maxilla and two jawbones with double-row
teeth were found.
Similar findings were recorded in Ohio and Indiana, and the teeth of one jaw were reported
to be "quadruple.".
A maxilla with "unusually large" molars and double-row teeth was found in Craig Mound,
Oklahoma.
During our recent tour of the United States, we were shown an unusually large human jaw
bone that was found in Charleston, West Virginia.
This jaw has two rows of teeth and an extra set of wisdom teeth, which is an example of
hyper-elevation.
Gimbutas has linked the double-rowed teeth with the Neanderthals, but it is a characteristic
that was preserved by some of the early giant tribes.
2.
Occipital bun: This is a distinctive lump on the back of the skull caused by enlargement
of the cerebrum.
It was a characteristic of Neanderthals and Homo erectus and is not found in Homo sapiens.
The occipital bun was recently found in an 8'2" skeleton near Edinburg, Texas.
This individual also had six fingers and six toes.
He had been buried with a small child and shell beads that indicated an archaic burial
ritual.
For a long time, the academic community has been aware of the numerous skeletons found
throughout North America that are over three meters in length.
Many of these skeletons were sent to the Smithsonian Institution by prominent field archaeologists
employed by such organizations as eugenist Ales Hrdlicka.
However, in the time period since the late 1950s, it is now known that these skeletons
were systematically destroyed and that a cover-up took place that has etched itself into the
historical record of archaeology.
It is of particular interest that this era corresponds with the Smithsonian's policy
regarding the origins of different groups of people.
At the time, it was the declared belief of the institution that the native peoples of
the Americas had only arrived in the region approximately thirteen thousand years ago.
Any evidence to the contrary of this was refuted in favor of adhering to the established model.
Due to this near-century of prejudice, many of the giant skeletons found were either wrongly
dated or ignored completely in the context of reports and literature.
This is not the only circumstance encountered; numerous accounts of giant skeletal remains
are found in mounds and subterranean caverns.
Those loyal hands of the establishment archaeologists and researchers have often hidden the giant
remains.
This is unfortunate, as it means that point-of-view comparison studies are difficult to accumulate.
Nevertheless, the information that is available gives a very solid case for the real existence
of giants.
Typically, adult male Homo sapiens remains are 60 to 70 inches in length.
Professor Vine Deloria spearheaded a team that had an encounter in a subterranean cavern
in the Grand Canyon in 1980 with the Grand Canyon National Park personnel.
While the teams were investigating a reported archaeological find in an area that was closed
off to the general public by an iron gate, a close brush with death was experienced when
tons of material were dumped into the hole where the team was inspecting the ruins.
This was an apparent effort to seal off the teasers and prevent any further investigation.
Professor Deloria and his team are fortunate to be alive today as they crawled through
the debris and eventually found the gate had been opened.
With little disregard for their lives and disregard for the tradition of secrecy surrounding
the presence of any unusual archaeological finds, the team continued with their spelunking
and found a good deal of knowledge on what hides in the caverns of the Grand Canyon.
Among the finds were the remains of a 12-foot male—a human-like being, if you will—whose
remains measured 144 inches in length, which was larger and broader than a typical Homo
sapiens remains.
This case alone is a basis for comparison, but there is much more thorough information.
An underground city in Turkey called Derinkuyu is said to have once been a refuge for giants
in ancient times.
These remains of the burly giants are said to be twice as large as typical human remains,
with double rows of upper and lower incisors of the jaw.
The genetic evidence indicates that the giant phenotype had a very long existence in North
America, possibly spanning over 10,000 years into the "modern" era.
It seems obvious that if there was morphological continuity in any trait, it was in North American
Indian populations' size, especially in the same region, given the known extent of size
increase in the lineage of modern man even into recent times.
It is only logical to assume that many giant traits have persisted up until as recently
as several centuries ago.
Therefore, it cannot be a priori assumed that any unusually large skeletal remains are from
a chronologically concurrent racial or social group unless it can be first demonstrated
with valid morphological continuity arguments.
It is folly to try to explain giant remains as being from some non-native source based
upon the historical assumption that all native tribes in the Americas were of recent Asian
descent.
Skeletal remains from at least 60 humans have been discovered repeatedly, dating back to
early man in North America.
All of these remains are incredibly fragmentary.
It is obvious that many of these would not be distinguishable from modern man by morphological
assessment.
Therefore, all are assumed to be modern, even within the standard radiocarbon dating range.
This practice artificially skews the data, reducing the suspected age of more "anomalous"
remains.
Therefore, there has been no attempt to objectively and systematically examine the possible morphological
distinctions between ancient and modern Native American skeletal remains.
This situation remains so long as it is not rectified with a systematic analysis of all
ancient remains.
This debilitating ambiguity will persist.
The human skeleton is similar to the skeletons of other primates, and in some detail, the
different species of primates resemble one another to a great extent.
In fact, people and other primates are so similar that there is a widespread belief
among scientists that humans and other primates must be related in some way to a common ancestor.
The specific differences in each primate species are often used to graph the evolutionary history
of that species.
The human skeleton is unique among mammals.
It has an S-shaped spine, an adaptation for bipedal locomotion; the head is directly connected
to the spine, and the body's center of gravity is directly above the legs.
The knee joint is also uniquely constructed, with a nearly straight leg.
These characteristics are often what are looked for in the skeletal remains of pre-humans
and humans alike.
With such a wide array of primate skeletons to compare with, anthropologists know exactly
what to look for in terms of the transition from pre-human to human.
By comparing the giant skeletal remains found in the Grand Canyon with those of both modern
humans and other known primates, we can start to see incongruities in evolution.
If the giants are an ancestor of Homo sapiens, then it must be reasoned that Homo sapiens
evolved from them.
The problem lies in the fact that the skeletal anatomy of Homo sapiens is closer to modern
primates than it is to the giants found in the canyon.
Anatomically, the giants are closer to the now-extinct Australopithecus than they are
to modern man.
This creates a hole in the theory of human evolution.
If the giants are not another species of primate but rather an earlier attempt at the human
species, there should be evidence to support their resemblances to modern man.
The knee joint is an especially viable tool in deciphering a hominid's mode of locomotion,
and upon comparing the giant knee joints to those of modern man, the differences are substantial.
The S-shaped joint connecting to the femur is not nearly as defined, indicating the giant's
method of walking was not truly bipedal.
It can be concluded through this comparison that the giants found in the Grand Canyon
were not recent ancestors of modern man.
Radiocarbon dating offers a means of placing the significant discoveries made in the Grand
Canyon in the wider context of North American archaeology.
It is difficult to assign a date to the skeletons since they were discovered in an undocumented
investigation in the early 20th century.
The only indication of a relative date comes from a report by a reputable theosophist,
who stated that they were in a cave found high above the Colorado River.
The date of such an occupation is unknown, so that the skeletons could be protohistoric
or even early historic.
The closure of the cave entrance by a landslide is thought to be the reason for the presence
of human remains in an otherwise undisturbed location.
This suggests that the cave was sealed off from external influences, preserving the remains
and artifacts found inside.
The potential discovery of untouched archaeological sites presents an intriguing opportunity for
researchers to gain valuable knowledge about ancient civilizations and societies.
The landslide's obstruction of the cave entrance has posed challenges in confirming this theory
and conducting comprehensive research.
This blockage has made it difficult to access the cave, which has hindered the ability to
conduct thorough investigations and verify the hypothesis.
Therefore, the lack of access to the cave due to the landslide has left many questions
unanswered, making it a fascinating topic for further study and exploration.
If this were the case and not a vindication of the "lost tribe" theory, it would seem
that the earlier the date, the more useful it would be in shedding light on the presence
of a race of giants in the Americas.
Radiocarbon dating is, however, fraught with methodological problems when applied to the
Grand Canyon.
This is owing to the generally arid environment, where preservation is poor, and to the reliance
on charcoal for the date, which is not associated with the skeletal material.
The use of dates with unclear provenance and context is limited when attempting to reconstruct
the society that the giants that have been discovered represent.
At best, it could confirm that they were prehistoric and add weight to the dissimilarity between
their date and that of the Havasupai, who were in recorded history and virtually the
only extant tribe at the time of European contact.
The prevailing biological viewpoint is that, with the possible exception of the pituitary
gland being diseased, there is no plausible genetic mechanism for humans to grow to such
an enormous size.
This is based on the fact that gigantism only occurs in humans due to dysfunction of the
pituitary gland, which causes oversecretion of growth hormone, and that humans have an
inherent biological failsafe against ever-increasing size called the square-cube law.
If a human were to double in height, his cross-sectional area, which provides the structural support
for his mass, would increase fourfold, and his body mass would increase eightfold.
This changes the stress on the bones and organs, requiring them to be significantly stronger
and more massive.
It only takes a doubling in height to produce eight times the stress, which can be fatal,
and this is why there are no humans or animals on Earth that are significantly larger than
the usual maximum for the species.
Unfortunately, ancient DNA studies are lacking for giant skeletal remains.
Due to the difficulties in obtaining a DNA sample combined with the fact that DNA has
a half-life of around 500 years, it is unlikely that an ancient DNA study will ever occur.
The genetic origins of the giant skeletal remains found in the Grand Canyon may forever
remain a mystery.
The Ancient Civilization Beneath the Grand Canyon
The civilization it is suggested to possess had a mysterious origin.
Scott explains his travels to the Havasupai Indians at the Grand Canyon, who have a legend
that they are descended from the race of humanoids that had built an enormous city inside the
canyon.
An older man told Scott that the inhabitants of the city had used the canyon walls to shield
themselves from a great flood that was to come.
They were using caves to escape to safety when the ground shook, and a large section
of the canyon wall broke away.
The floodwaters then came pouring into the city and were capped off by a large portion
of the ocean dumping into the area.
The Indians say the event happened simply a thousand years ago.
In addition to the legend of man, Scott discovered Egyptian artifacts in numerous caves atop
the cliffs in the canyon.
He also visited an area behind the fifty-foot falls "where the delta of the Little Colorado
spreads out, and this delta is about five hundred feet higher than the riverbed, and
it is solidly choked up with debris from some ancient and unknown disaster."
This led Scott to postulate that the civilization had originated in Mu, as he did in his next
book on the subject.
For nearly half our lifetimes, we have imagined obtaining a high-resolution photograph of
a site the size of the Grand Canyon.
With the addition of helicopter and satellite technology, modern man can now take pictures
of canyon mouths, rims, temples, and other sites of interest from virtually all angles
to record and analyze their architecture accurately.
Additionally, several newly developed remote sensing techniques are being used to survey
otherwise inaccessible locales or regions that are too large to study by invasive field
methods.
High-tech devices such as LIDAR (light detection and ranging) can produce three-dimensional
maps of terrain.
Magnetometry can uncover subsurface architectural remains by measuring local variations in the
earth's magnetic field.
Using electromagnetic and ground-penetrating radar can help detect and visualize structures
such as walls, pathways, and water management systems that have been buried under layers
of debris for hundreds of years.
These technologies have the potential to reveal hidden archaeological features without the
necessity of extensive excavation, offering valuable insights into ancient civilizations.
Finally, the use of infrared and soil chemistry analysis can help determine how the environment
has changed over time due to human activity.
The data collected by these new methods is providing astonishing insights into the canyon's
past.
For example, recent surveys of the North Rim have shown that it is far more heavily settled
than previously thought.
The data also show how the Anasazi, who once occupied the Inner Gorge, organized their
buildings; the precise construction of the pueblo at Lomaki, for instance, was recently
discovered through a combination of excavation and remote sensing.
At the same site, pollen cores indicate that an agricultural terrace was rapidly constructed
in an effort to grow crops in a new environment.
Overall, technological data greatly complements the field-based study of the canyon, providing
a more complete understanding of its complex history.
Unfortunately, to Skinwalker's chagrin, Kincaid's cave is only a story and little to no effort
has ever been made to relocate it by serious archaeologists.
The tale of the cave is akin to the canyon's ever-present mysteries.
It is an invitation for individual interpretation and speculation, balancing on the verge of
history and myth.
In this regard, there is no clear resolution for Kincaid or his Grand Canyon.
The enigma of the canyon will endure, serving as a reminder of the vast, untold stories
that lie within its depths.
The fascination and untapped exploration possibilities within the massive Colorado River canyon remain
constant as we unearth more and more of the Grand Canyon's hidden past year after year.
There are countless possibilities concealed inside the canyon's depths, and its mystery
will always be a compelling story.
As we continue to explore the rich past of the canyon, we can be confident that this
anecdote will stand as a tribute to its mystery and the unwavering possibility of finding
new information within the massive chasm that the Colorado River has carved out.
The Legacy of The Lost Archaeologist After Kincaid's intriguing yet disputed discovery
of the cave, the contentions surrounding the Grand Canyon only grew more and more convoluted.
Disregarding any unempirical "evidence" for ancient Egyptian trans-oceanic diffusion is
difficult.
Over the years, stories have begun to layer on top of Kincaid's original allegation, claiming
the Smithsonian was involved in a grand cover-up of a vastly intricate tunnel system and had
desecrated the cave's findings.
Different tribes have also tried to lay claim to the canyon's ancient dwellers, heightening
the dispute and clouding the truth beneath a fog of outrageous propositions.
Though these postulations can hardly attest to the informed and conventional wisdom of
the archaeological community, they still reveal the impact Kincaid's find had in capturing
the public's curiosity and driving a need to understand the mysteries of the past.
Like the canyon, Kincaid's story is a specter of uncharted potential.
His enigmatic tale has spawned innumerable versions and implications and refuses to be
buried in obscurity beneath the desert sands.
The discovery of giant skeletons in the Grand Canyon has captured the public's imagination
and sparked media attention like no other!
The idea of these huge creatures that originally roamed the globe fascinates us now.
Imagine the size of these giants—they would have been twice as tall as the average person!
And their strength?
It's hard even to fathom.
The media has been all over this story, with headlines like "Giant Skeletons Found in Grand
Canyon: Fact or Fiction?"
and "Uncovering the Mystery of the Grand Canyon Giants.".
It's a topic that has people talking and wondering what other secrets the Grand Canyon might
be hiding.
And let's not forget about the conspiracy theories that have emerged.
Some people believe that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding the truth about the giant skeletons,
while others think that they are evidence of extraterrestrial life.
While there is no concrete scientific evidence to support the existence of such skeletons,
there are ongoing research and exploration efforts related to ancient civilizations and
human remains found in the Grand Canyon area.
One such example is Lovelock Cave, located in Nevada, which has been the subject of much
interest and speculation.
In the early 20th century, miners discovered artifacts and human remains in the cave, including
what some believed to be giant skeletons.
A more recent study indicates that business people hoping to draw travelers may have improved
the so-called giant view of these skeletons.
Despite this, Lovelock Cave remains an important archaeological site, with a wealth of unique
artifacts and well-preserved remains that provide valuable insights into life in the
Great Basin.
Ongoing research and exploration efforts continue to uncover new information about the cave
and its history, contributing to our understanding of ancient civilizations and human habitation
in the region.
While the existence of giant skeletons in the Grand Canyon remains a topic of debate
and speculation, there is no denying the importance of ongoing research and exploration efforts
in the region.
As we continue to uncover new information and insights, the mysteries of the Grand Canyon's
past will continue to captivate and intrigue us for years to come.
And there you have it.
