Did an ancient civilization live in caves below the Grand Canyon?

In the early 20th century, claims of such a discovery were made by two Smithsonian funded archaeologists, who spoke of a thriving civilization tucked within a series of caverns carved into the side of a remote portion of the Grand Canyon.

What did the archaeologists find? What evidence did they bring back? Perhaps the most amazing suppression of all is the excavation of an Egyptian tomb by the Smithsonian itself in Arizona.

A lengthy front page story of the Phoenix Gazette on April 5, 1909, gave a highly detailed report of the discovery and excavation of a rock-cut vault by an expedition led by a Professor S.A. Jordan of the Smithsonian.

The Smithsonian, however, claims to have absolutely no knowledge of the discovery or its discoverers.
