The biggest mystery was the discovery of a large Buddha-like statue found in one of the caves that suggested the inhabitants at one time were also of Asian origin. The statue was a large one and was seated on a lotus clutching what appeared to be a lotus flower or lily in each hand. Kincaid remarked that it appeared to be a Buddha-like statue similar to the ones worshipped in a Tibet, Kincaids report read
"Over a hundred feet from the entrance is the cross-hall, several hundred feet long, in which are found the idol, or image, of the people's god, sitting cross-legged, with a lotus flower or lily in each hand. The cast of the face is oriental, and the carving this cavern. The idol almost resembles Buddha, though the scientists are not certain as to what religious worship it represents.” He goes on to say that surrounding the idol were smaller idols some of which were extremely beautiful and some distorted and symbolical of good and evil.

The intrinsic network of caves were so large, they could easily fit 50,000 people. It was Kincaid who made the earlier expedition followed by Jordan and a team of 40 archaeologists after artifacts were sent to the Smithsonian.

However, when members of the world explorers club contacted the Smithsonian to check out the story, the first thing a staff member told them was that no Egyptian artifact was ever discovered in America. The Smithsonian denied all association with the event and there is no record of Kincaid or Jordan in the archives.
No one really knows what happen to Kincaid or Jordan but if their story one day turns out to be true. It will redefine the history of America and speak a lot about the sea faring abilities of the Egyptians and the Asians.

Conspiracy theorist John Rhodes claims to know the exact location of Kincaid and Jordan which is guarded by a lone gun bearing Soldier. Other conspiracy theorists claim that the Smithsonian hushed up the whole episode and even destroyed the artifacts just to maintain their own historical viewpoint.
Many theorists also recall to mind when manmade walls of plaster mounds were discovered in the American Midwest and fire hewn coffins were found in Alabama in 1892 and which were also turned over to the Smithsonian and which of course were again lost subsequent years.
