The biggest name in podcasting turned his attention to the Grand Canyon and the mystery and stories of a lost civilization. Joe Rogan had Andrew Gentile from the Why Files on, and they discussed how parts of the Grand Canyon are closed to the public. 

Are Parts of the Grand Canyon Off Limits? 

There are parts of the Grand Canyon that are restricted to public access. There are three reasons given for these restrictions, safety, protection of sacred tribal lands, and for ecological reasons. 

Gentile tells the story of an early explorer named G. E. Kincaid that described a cave he found in the canyon in the early 1900s. He says he found steps that led up the canyon wall to a cave. Inside he describes in detail and underground Egyptian like city.

Whether this account is true or from someone’s imagination, the description is detailed and fascinating. The fact that people who would like to search the Grand Canyon for this cave are banned from entering only causes more speculation.

You can see the interview in this clip from the Joe Rogan show but be aware there is some profanities. 

In the video on the Why Files, Gentile discusses current explorers who have tried to find the cave Kincaid wrote about. They have found cave entrances blocked off and cement covering possible air shafts.
