ANCIENT PETROGLYPHS & SECRET CAVES [6c]
Western Nevada, 2013. On the west side of the dried-up Winnemucca Lake, researchers take samples from a layer of white carbonate covering petroglyphs carved into limestone boulders. Radiocarbon tests performed by the University of Colorado, Boulder, reveal that the petroglyphs were etched between 10,500 and 14,800 years ago…making them the oldest petroglyphs ever found in North America.

“Winnemucca Lake in Nevada is the site of petroglyphs that date all the way back to 8,000 BC. That is amazing because right here in America we now have absolute proof of a civilization that predates the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia by over 3,000 years minimum, and there’s nothing else like them.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
|
“Looking at some of these petroglyphs, you’ve got to wonder if these aren’t being drawn by early Americans who are interacting with extraterrestrials, and then drawing what they think they see.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
|
“When we look at the petroglyphs themselves, the actual designs, we also find very unusual formations, including spirals. This is something that we see very consistently in many ancient cultures which is often associated with the shape of the galaxies. They may be aware that they were a part of a galaxy. Who gave them this information? How did they obtain this? Why would they make these illustrations?” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
|
“This has given rise to the theory that could there have been civilizations not dissimilar to ours, but thousands of years ago, or tens of thousands of years ago, that have now become lost to the fog of time. This inevitably sort of raises the question, does the human race go in cycles, you know? We’re a warlike species. Will we one day be somebody’s memory and somebody’s folklore, and they think they’re the first?” – Nick Redfern (Author, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter), |
Could these petroglyphs, that predate even the earliest known Native American tribes, be evidence of an ancient lost civilization? And if so, might other, even more profound secrets lie hidden in North America waiting to be discovered?
The Grand Canyon. Located in the American Southwest, this enormous gorge is 277 miles long and a mile deep. Much of it is remote and rarely traveled. In 1909, an explorer named G.E. Kincaid was boating through the canyon on the Colorado River when he noticed stains in the sediment on the east wall of a canyon gorge. According to his account, when he stopped to get a closer look, he found the entrance to what appeared to be a man-made cave.
|
“Kincaid saw what he thought was an ancient gold mine. As he climbed up onto the walls of the canyon to investigate it, what he really discovered was not an ancient mine but a labyrinth of rooms and tunnels cut into the side of the canyon that went back hundreds, even thousands of feet.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
|
“There were passageways radiating from this main chamber. He found stone tablets with Egyptian-style hieroglyphics. He also came to another chamber, and it contained a marble-carved statue of Buddha sitting in a lotus posture holding a lotus in each hand.” – Gary A. David (Author, The Orion Zone), |
|
“There was all kinds of statues made of bronze, and mummies as well. He described them as Egyptian and Tibetan kind of things. So, therefore, he believed he had discovered some vast secret city and treasure inside the Grand Canyon.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
Anxious to spread the news of his extraordinary find, Kincaid reportedly made his way to Phoenix, where he told his story to a reporter for the local newspaper. He then contacted his employer, the Smithsonian Institution.
|
“They sent an archaeologist named Jordan. And Jordan then examined the caves. The Smithsonian allegedly began excavating and removing the artifacts out of the secret caves. And supposedly, they were all sent back to Washington D.C.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
But mysteriously, there was no follow-up to the story, and G.E. Kincaid was never heard from again.
|
“The caves were apparently sealed up, metal doors and gates put over them. The National Park now denies any knowledge or existence of these caves or cave entrances. And if you talk to the Smithsonian today, they will deny any knowledge of the secret city in the Grand Canyon, or that an archaeologist named Jordan worked for the Smithsonian. And in fact, essentially, the knowledge of the secret city in the Grand Canyon has completely disappeared from history.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
How is it that such an incredible story that the Arizona Gazette reported in two separate articles dated a month apart was suddenly dropped? Was Kincaid the victim of a cover-up? And if so, what was it that the American government didn’t want the public to know? According to his own description, Kincaid’s cave lies in one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of the Grand Canyon. And since a government permit is required to enter this treacherous terrain, few people have ever been able to explore the area where the cave was allegedly found.
|
“If, in fact, there are artifacts that exist from Egypt or from the Orient in the United States and they predate history as we know it, it would completely change everything we know about our own history. We’d have to rewrite our history books.” – Logan Hawkes (Publisher, The Mexico Less Traveled), |
Is it possible that G.E. Kincaid really did find Egyptian and Oriental artifacts in a cave in the Grand Canyon? And if so, how did they get here? Some Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe the answer can be found by examining the stories of the Native American tribes of the Southwest, who say there is a connection between the Grand Canyon and star beings. According to the Hopi, just before a catastrophic event struck the area where their ancestors lived, these star beings led them to safety. The Native Americans followed an object in the sky night and day to the Grand Canyon, where they found refuge.
|
“The Hopi believe that they were taken to an underground or subterranean city where they were nurtured and progressed through levels to emerge, eventually, on the surface of the Earth. They emerged through a hole called a sipapu. It’s a very holy place to the Hopi nation. The sipapu in the Grand Canyon we know there is such a place.” – Logan Hawkes (Publisher, The Mexico Less Traveled), |
|
“This is our Garden of Eden, where we had the beginning of the present world. We hold the Grand Canyon as a very reverent place that came out after the last catastrophe into the present day systems that we have.” – Clifford Mahooty (Zuni Tribal Elder) |
The Hopi elders only recently revealed the Grand Canyon as the site of their sipapu, causing some to question whether this might be the same cave dwelling G.E. Kincaid claimed to have found in 1909. But the exact location remains a mystery.
|
“Supposedly, the entrance into this underground city of the Grand Canyon is on this eastern part, on these slopes right over here. We were able to get to the edge of the canyon to look down, but it’s hundreds of feet straight down on cliffs into this area of the Grand Canyon. It’s just almost impossible to get a good look or see what is in this park.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
Could extraterrestrials really have led ancient Native Americans to this nearly inaccessible area of the Grand Canyon? Whether Kincaid’s cave really exists remains a mystery, but some Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe indisputable proof of extraterrestrial contact can be found today some thousands of miles away in the American Midwest.
