AJ (The Y-Files): 本集节目主要讲述了探险家G.E. Kincaid于1909年在大峡谷发现一个巨大的地下城市的故事，该城市内有古埃及象形文字、复杂的建筑结构、大量的文物和木乃伊。Kincaid将发现告知史密森尼学会，但之后他和参与调查的Jordan教授都神秘失踪，而史密森尼学会似乎在掩盖这一发现。节目中还提到了其他证据，例如当地原住民部落的传说、其他类似的考古发现以及政府对大峡谷特定区域的严格管控，这些都暗示着可能存在一个被掩盖的远古文明。 Marion: 史密森尼学会官方否认了Kincaid的发现，认为这是一个骗局，并且没有证据表明北美存在古埃及文物。 Jerry Wills: 多年来，他和妻子一直在研究Kincaid洞穴之谜，并声称发现了相关遗迹，但他们的探险活动受到了政府的干扰。 David Hatcher Childress: 他认为美国政府一直在压制考古发现，史密森尼学会参与其中，并举出了一些例子，例如丢失的巨型骨骼和石棺等，来证明政府和史密森尼学会隐瞒了远古文明存在的证据。

Explorer G.E. Kincaid discovers a man-made cavern in the Grand Canyon with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, suggesting a hidden city.

Shownotes Transcript

In 1908, President Teddy Roosevelt wanted to declare the Grand Canyon off-limits to all timber and mining operations. It would take another 11 years for Congress to designate the Grand Canyon a national park.

Sensing a final opportunity for adventure, explorer G.E. Kincaid took a boat down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. The canyon was rich in minerals like gold, silver and copper and Kincaid wanted to see what he could find before the area was closed off for good.

About 40 miles up-river from the El Tovar Crystal canyon, Kincaid saw stains in the sediment formation about 2,000 feet up. He tied off the boat and got out to investigate.

Kincaid couldn't find a trail, but after a short hike he found something interesting covered in desert brush. Steps. Hundreds of them. Carved in sandstone. Steps that wound their way up to a high shelf on the side of the canyon.

He followed the steps until he came across a cavern entrance. An entrance that was clearly man made.

Kincaid entered the cavern and turned on his flashlight.

On the walls he saw writing. But it wasn't English or Native American writing. It was Ancient Egyptian Heiroglypics.

Kincaid lifted his flashlight and saw that the tunnel ran far into the distance.

He didn't realize it at the time, but this was only the beginning.
