Historical legends of the Grand Canyon in the United States
According to the research of geographers, the Grand Canyon has experienced a history of six million years, and it is a masterpiece of nature on earth. Its spectacular and magnificent scenery is far from being comparable to ordinary natural scenery. Americans are proud of it.

The remains of mud-walled huts in the Grand Canyon show that Indians were the earliest owners who developed here in the13rd century. However, the natural wonders of the Grand Canyon are well known, which should be attributed to the propaganda of American one-armed artillery major Powell. He led an expedition from the unexplored upper reaches of the Colorado River to the bottom of the Grand Canyon at 1869. He wrote his thrilling experiences along the way as travel notes, which attracted the attention of the American government and public, and established the Grand Canyon National Park in 19 19. Now it receives more than 3 million tourists every year.

It is said that in the16th century, a man named Colorado trudged here from a distant place, looking for the legendary Seven Huang Jincheng, and found the Grand Canyon, hence its name.

According to Indian legend, the Grand Canyon was formed in a flood. At that time, God turned human beings into fish claws and survived. So the local Indians still don't eat fresh fish. In fact, the work of carving the Grand Canyon is not accomplished overnight, but has gone through billions of years and never stopped. Humans can't perceive the progress of carving every day, but the evolution of time presents an incredible scene.
