Perhaps one of the most captivating mysteries surrounding of the 20th century is the purported discovery of an Egyptian city in Arizona’s Grand Canyon in 1909.

As the story goes, The Arizona Gazette reported that two Smithsonian Institution-funded archaeologists discovered an ancient Egyptian city deep in the Grand Canyon, along with a cache of gold artifacts that cannot be recognized as anything else but Egyptian in origin. The find also proved that the race inhabiting the mysterious cavern, hewn in solid rock by human hands, traces back to the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses.

After investigating the excursion, the Smithsonian denied that the project ever happened and the existence of the two archaeologists in an apparent cover-up. The bottom line here is that if this story is true, it would radically change the current view that there was no transoceanic contact in pre-Columbian times.

In the following presentation by the Lost History Channel TKTC, host BuzWeaver expands on the details of the discovery and David Hatcher Childress, world explorer, author and publisher, gives his take on the revelation.
