Are There Egyptian Tombs Hidden in the Grand Canyon?

Are there really secret Egyptian tombs and hidden forbidden zones in the Grand Canyon? Did the Smithsonian cover up giant skeletons? What’s actually off-limits in the Grand Canyon—and what’s just internet mythology?

In this video, I break down the truth behind one of the most viral Grand Canyon conspiracy theories: the claim that certain parts of the canyon are closed to hide ancient Egyptian relics or megalithic structures. We take a hard look at the 1909 Arizona Gazette article, the so-called “Eltivar Crystal Canyon,” and the maps people love to misuse.

I also walk you through what areas are restricted (and why)—from ecological preservation zones to sacred Hopi salt mines—none of which are evidence of some buried civilization.

Stop listening to YouTube pseudohistorians chasing clout—go explore the Grand Canyon yourself. The real wonder is better than the fake story.
