A very reasonable question ...
The images I've seen of the story had no byline;
However, one would probably need a lot more information about the newspaper's circumstances in those days, whether they were desperate to fill up column inches for some reason, etc. etc.

I've not seen one.
However, there is something more right at the foot of thes
the Jason Colavito archive article: a communication supposedly addressed to "Lost Civilizations Uncovered" in March 2005 from one Sharon Bochkay, claiming to be the great niece of ["maverick archaeologist"] John Ora Kinnaman, who, in the 1950s, tried to prove that the GP was 35,000 years old, and made claims about telepathic messages being sent by Egyptian priests to the Grand Canyon. Ms. Bochkay describes him as:

... unfortunately ... not truthful about many things. He copied the works of others and took them on as his own. His biography is full of untruths, his travels to Europe and the Middle East for instance ...
