After all, Adams did say the people who lived around the canyon did so for at least a thousand years or more...
Really? Did he say that? Let's think about this for a moment. We don't know his first name, but hey, let's say he really existed and he really said that. By all accounts he was a prospector who couldn't even find his own gold.
Would you consider him to be an expert on anthropology? I wouldn't.
And, in fact, he would be wrong. According to archaeologists and anthropologists, the Apachean people arrived in the southwest between 1000 and 1500AD. (Most scientists put it at 1500AD.) They were nomadic people and didn't build any permanent structures at all. (This is also verified by the Apaches themselves, who are still around.) The women built temporary structures called wickiups. They did not stay in one place for any length of time, and did not build mounds or any type of earthworks or permanent structures.

The "Aztec Ruins" were misnamed by early settlers of the 1800's. They were actually built by the Ancient Pueblo People (or Anazasi).

Thousands of archaeological sites in the southern part of the Colorado Plateau, such as the particularly the magnificent cliff-dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park, offer abundant evidence of the former presence of an mysterious and sophisticated civilization commonly known as the Anasazi, or Ancient Pueblo peoples.
Chaco Canyon is another example of their culture and architecture.
Fact: there are no animal effigies, mounds, or earthworks of any kind at any of the thousands of sites mentioned above.
Before the Apachean and Ancient Pueblo peoples were the
Paleoindian and Archaic Peoples. They were nomadic. The only structures they were known to build were fire hearths, which were at camps where they stayed for only days or weeks at a time. They were not known to build any earthworks of any kind.

Folsom people apparently did use the Colorado Plateau, but proof of their occupation there has been difficult to find. Most evidence consists of individual Folsom points found on the surface. No buried Folsom sites have been excavated on the plateau. Archaeologists have surveyed most of the region, because of the great attraction of Anasazi sites, so Folsom sites must truly be rare here or they would have been discovered in greater abundance.
Please note the text I emphasized with red. The region they're refering to, the Colorado Plateau region, is outlined in white here:

As you can see, the so called Sno Ta Hay canyon falls within that area. How is it that archaeologists missed any signs of an ancient site here during their survey, when they were able to detect small camp sites everywhere else?
So there you have it boys and girls. Some
real science, with
real links to
real scientific evidence.
I'm not even going to address the pseudoscientific nonsense about the earth's axis. There are no universities that teach that bullsh baloney, so I don't have a source to link to on that one.

Look at what happened in the UK with the crop circle mania, troops of curiosity seekers trespassing and tramping down fields of grain, littering, cutting fences etc. On the other hand, I for one have no intention of doing any poking around there as the case has not been too convincing to me.
