Finally, a very curious sighting in a remote part of the country—a mysterious metal structure officials are investigating. Situated within the heart of Northern Arizona in the United States lies a geological masterpiece that’s captivated enthusiasts and adventurers for several years. This masterpiece is called the Grand Canyon, and it was crafted over millions of years through the erosive power of the Colorado River. It stretches approximately 277 miles long and up to 18 miles wide. Its awe-inspiring depths, majestic cliffs, and vibrant hues create an enigmatic wonderland that’s a treat to watch.
But amidst its breathtaking beauty, scientists have recently uncovered a hidden secret that has terrified the entire world. Stick around till the end of article to know more about this hidden secret.
Apart from being a geological masterpiece, the Grand Canyon also serves as a cultural and spiritual significance for various Native American tribes, with one of them being the Havasupai tribe. The Havasupai tribe, also known as the people of the blue-green waters, consider it to be their ancestral home and believe that spiritual and physical worlds intertwine at the canyon. These beliefs of the Havasupai tribe might be true, as scientists have recently discovered some strange evidence that supports this claim.
These claims tell us a lot about the earlier human presence in America and challenge theories of human migration. Archaeologists have found evidence such as ancient tools, artifacts, and even human remains dating back several thousands of years, which indicate that human life existed much earlier than we knew. Among these were hunters and bighorn sheep figurines that dated from 1000 to 2000 BC. Experts believe these figurines were left as a ritual by the tribes after successfully scoring an animal for the feast.
These recent discoveries provide us insights into the technology and skills possessed by these ancient inhabitants and how they survived in the challenging environment of the canyon. Upon meticulous study of their remains and examining their DNA, scientists have managed to gain insights into the physical attributes, cultural practices, and lifestyle of these ancient people.
In 1880, American geologist Clarence Dutton, while exploring the Grand Canyon, noticed something unique and mesmerizing. He observed that the Grand Canyon’s walls are made up of several rock layers, each representing a distinct period of Earth’s history. Among these rock layers, some of the lower rock beds are slightly tilted, which intrigued Dutton. He believed these tilted rocks belonged to a very old period in history and were made of ancient sediments. These sediments were placed as horizontal beds, which over time hardened and, due to geological forces, tilted upwards.
As time passed, the forces of the river cut down these tilted beds into a horizontal bed. Later, new layers of sediment were deposited over these beds, resulting in a remarkable break called the Great Unconformity. Don’t you want to look at the Grand Canyon?
At first, people didn’t pay much attention to it. But as new technologies developed, people started to recognize how great this discovery was. Through radiometric dating, we know that rocks above the unconformity belong to the Cambrian Period, about 500 million years ago. On the other hand, the rocks below the unconformity date back over 1.5 billion years ago. This gap means we’ve lost 25% of Earth’s history at this particular spot.
If you think that’s strange about the Grand Canyon, wait until you hear what we have for you at the end.
The series of discoveries at the Grand Canyon doesn’t stop here. Scientists have recently made fascinating finds that give us insights into prehistoric life forms that existed in the region. These include remains and fossils of various organisms that offer a sneak peek into the ecosystem of the Canyon. From the depths of the Grand Canyon, archaeologists have uncovered fossils of ancient marine animals such as trilobites, brachiopods, and crinoids. These animals could survive only in deep waters, indicating that the region was once a vast ocean.
The Grand Canyon has also revealed evidence of terrestrial organisms, such as plants, insects, and vertebrates. With the help of these fossils, scientists can reconstruct an image of the prehistoric flora and fauna of the region. Moreover, researchers have discovered preserved tracks and traces left by ancient animals, including amphibians, reptiles, and dinosaurs.
Among these organisms and creatures also existed what we know as the Mogollon Monster, or Arizona Bigfoot. Yes, you heard it right—a real-life Bigfoot. The Mogollon Monster has been described in folklore and was last sighted in 1903. Witnesses claim they’ve encountered a tall, seven-foot hairy humanoid with glowing eyes roaming the wilderness surrounding the canyon. Witnesses mentioned that the Mogollon Monster emits a pungent odor and eerie vocalizations. Local residents and researchers have even found footprints of this enormous creature, supporting its existence.
But the Mogollon Monster is not the strangest discovery of the Grand Canyon. Watch along to learn about the strangest discovery yet.
The story of G.E. Kincaid and his remarkable discovery beneath the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly one of the most captivating. In the early 20th century, Kincaid, an archaeologist and explorer, embarked on a journey into the depths of the Grand Canyon. During his mission, Kincaid encountered an underground city beneath the canyon that was unknown to the people before. This hidden metropolis featured advanced infrastructure and architectural masterpieces, including chambers, stonework, and engineering skills far ahead of its time.
Inside one large and spacious room, Kincaid’s team found something that shook the world—hundreds of mummies wrapped in linen, all of which were nine feet tall
