Unesco’s observation on this heritage site is that ‘The Grand Canyon is among the earth’s greatest on-going geological spectacles. Its vastness is stunning, and the evidence it reveals about the earth’s history is invaluable. The 1.5-kilometer (0.9 mile) deep gorge ranges in width from 500 m to 30 km (0.3 mile to 18.6 miles). It twists and turns 445 km (276.5 miles) and was formed during 6 million years of geologic activity and erosion by the Colorado River on the upraised earth’s crust. The buttes, spires, mesas and temples in the canyon are in fact mountains looked down upon from the rims. Horizontal strata exposed in the canyon retrace geological history over 2 billion years and represent the four major geologic eras….’.
Grand Canyon National Park is located in north-western Arizona; it contains the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the River Colorado. The park is a part of the counties of Coconino and Mahahve. River Colorado is one of America’s great white water rivers.
Historical identity of this heritage site is linked to the name Colorado and Canyon; English meaning of the name Canyon is a deep valley with steep sides, often with a river flowing through it’. Various place-names connected with this heritage site shows that they have almost adopted biblical names: like, Moab, Arches, Green River, San Juan River, San Juan Mountains, Lake Mead, Salt River Valley, Gila River, Yuma, San Luis Rio(-Colorado), Baja Californian-Sonora, Morelos, Hardy River, Virgin River etc. So Canyon certainly stands for the biblical Canaan which was the promised land of the historical sacred text. It is Kanvaya mountain of Indian puranas.
The Native Americans know the Colorado River as:

The Havasooa Pa’a regional brand are called Nvav-Kapai which scholars translate into ‘Eastern People’; the Middle Mountain People means the People of the Middle Country where then the Po valley existed.

The belief of the Yavapia that they were the original people of the world or the first people refers to their homeland in the middle country; the term Montezuma Well means Ma-Monte Zuma or Mother Zuma who is the God of Death; monte means mrutyu/mat, and thus world is called Martya where death happens to all living things; God Jama or Zuma is one of the eight primordial gods who is responsible for origin of life on earth. Patavana from which the Yavapai originated means ‘the forest of the primordial gods’. But this name is used in various other ways worldwide. Similarly the Oatman family identifies its members with Mt Ita or Wutu or Wuta of ancient history like the royal members of Ottoman empire. Origin of both shares one root.
Scholars’ observation on the heritage site is ‘Within park boundaries, the geologic record spans all four eras of the earth’s evolutionary history, from the Precambrian to the Cenozoic. The Precambrian and Paleozoic portions of this record are particularly well exposed in canyon walls and include a rich fossil assemblage. Numerous caves shelter fossils and animal remains that extend the paleontological record into the Pleistocene….’, and this is incorrect as the tribes of the Colorado river basin owe their origin to the first land of human civilization where the God of Death, Jama’s seat of worships stands.
