Exploring Lost Treasure in the Grand Canyon
我是莫基·迈克， 正在研究失落宝藏的故事。
我上一篇关于埃及宝藏洞穴的 帖子引起了热烈讨论，
该洞穴位于大峡谷。
我试图寻找的线索之一 是旧铁路轨道的痕迹
或是通往该遗址的马车道。
所以我正试图精准定位 这个洞穴可能所在的位置，
但这比预期的要困难，因为
大峡谷在科罗拉多河两岸
有将近600英里的悬崖。
杰里·威尔斯在他的
采访中提到， 这个洞穴就在上游，
位于一个由熔岩流 形成的古代天然大坝上方，
但该大坝此后已被侵蚀殆尽。
两座火山喷发， 填满了大峡谷，
形成了一个天然大坝。 这反过来又形成了一个大湖，
有点像现在的鲍威尔湖，
而当时在里面的那些人，
我们不知道他们是什么时候去那里 的。
我们不知道那个故事是什么。
我们只知道有亚洲人 穿过这里，沿着科罗拉多河逆流而上 ，
抵达这座大坝，爬上去， 然后乘船穿过，前往
这座地下城市的入口。
在我为国家公园管理局的 杰夫·阿克塞尔录制的一场讲座中，
他提到大峡谷实际上有 许多这种由熔岩流形成的天然坝。
在90年代，有一位 名叫哈姆林的研究人员。
其中一件事是， 他当时正在研究这里的熔岩物质。
它本可以形成一座 将近半英里高的熔岩坝。
他假设，如果那是一座坚固的坝， 它会使湖水回流
一直延伸到摩押。
确实曾存在某种湖泊， 但它有多大尚不清楚。
但这里是许多大坝的另一个遗址。
在过去的100万年里 总共至少有17次。
所以我仍在寻找，仍在 搜寻线索。敬请期待。

Mokey Mike here, researching lost treasure stories. There was a lot of engagement on my last post about the Egyptian treasure cave in the Grand Canyon. One of the things I'm trying to find is evidence of old railroad tracks or wagon trails to the site.
So I'm trying to pinpoint where the cave might be, but that is harder than expected when the Grand Canyon has almost 600 miles of cliffs lining the Colorado River. Jerry Wills in his
interview mentions that this cave is just upstream from an ancient natural dam that had been created by a lava flow, but has since eroded away. Two volcanoes went off and filled in the Grand Canyon, creating a natural dam. This in turn caused a big lake,
kind of like Lake Powell is now, and these people who were in there, we don't know when they went there. We don't know what that story is. All we know is that there were Asians coming across, going up the Colorado River,
getting to this dam, climbing up, getting into boats, and going across to the entrance of this underground city. At a lecture I was recording with Jeff Axel from the National Park Service, said that the Grand Canyon actually had many of these natural dam lava flows. There was a researcher named Hamlin back in the 90s.
One of the things, he was looking at lava material over here. It would have made a lava dam almost a half mile high. He postulated that that would have, if it was a good dam, backed a lake all the way to Moab. There was some kind of lake, but how big it was is unknown.
But this is the other site of many dams. There were a total of at least 17 during the last million years. So I'm still looking and still searching for clues. Stay tuned.
