Don't lose sight of the fact that I postulated that they needed
water under pressure to build the Great Pyramid and not leave ev-
idence of ramps. Even if this is correct there might have been
another source for the pressure.

There is some doubt that a sufficient amount of CO2 could get into
the aquifer from a volcano so far away and not lose it before flow-
ing for centuries all the way to Giza. It's simply a possibility
at this point which could explain very many of the known facts.

Cold water geysers work very similarly to the way the can of pop in
your example works. The water is supersaturated with gas. There
would be more CO2 in the water than it can normally hold because
it's under great pressure. When this water got to Giza it brought
this large amount of dissolved CO2 with it as some flowed up near
the surface with the multitude of natural caverns and fissures
caused by the action of the ground water which was influenced by
the Nile. When this water neared the surface it would fizz up and
tend to form small springs.

All known cold water geysers are man-made. They are usually acciden-
tal and result from drilling for other things. They can spray large
amounts of water for many years so long as the CO2 and water are pre-
sent. In the case of Giza the ancients may have simply been drilling
to improve water flow and struck a cavern which could result in such
a geyser.

If this is what actually happened then the water flow at Giza should be
considered an event. It could have persisted for hundreds of years but
it would need to be recharged periodically by vulcanic activity and CO2
releases. There is no record of these erupting in recorded history but
geologists say that they have erupted sometime within the last 10,000
years and probably more recently.
