One of the books of Hermes describes certain of the pyramids as standing upon the sea-shore, "the waves of which dashed in powerless fury against its
base." This implies that the geographical features of the country have been changed, and may indicate that we must accord to [the pyramids] . . . --

One of the greatest mysteries of this chamber has been the salt encrustation on the walls. It was up to one-half-inch thick in places, and Petrie took
it into account when he made measurements of the chamber. The salt also was found along the Horizontal Passage and in the lower portion of the Grand
Gallery. How did salt come to build up on the walls?
Those who have seen some significance in the presence of the salt have speculated that it could have been deposited on the walls as the water of the
biblical Great Flood receded. Others have speculated that the Great Pyramid and its neighbours were surrounded by water at one time. -- Christopher
Dunn, The Giza Power Plant, p. 193
Legends and records . . . speak of the fact that, before the Arabs removed the Pyramid's outer casing stones, one could see water marks on the stones
halfway up the Pyramid's height, in about the 240-foot level, which would be 400 feet above the present Nile level. The medieval Arab historian Al
Biruni, writing in his treatise The Chronology of Ancient Nations, noted: "The Persians and the great mass of Magians relate that the inhabitants of
the west, when they were warned by their sages, constructed buildings of the King and the Giza Pyramids. The traces of the water of the Deluge and the
effects of the waves are still visible on these pyramids halfway up, above which the water did not rise." -- Joseph Jochmans, "How Old Are the
Pyramids?

Silt sediments rising to fourteen feet around the base of the pyramid contain many seashells and fossils that have been radiocarbon-dated to be nearly
twelve thousand years old. These sediments could have been deposited in such great quantities only by major sea flooding, . . . This evidence alone
suggests that the three main Giza pyramids are at least twelve thousand years old. -- Martin Gray,
