Without looking it up again, I don't believe rhyolite is
associated with cold water geysers. It would be better if
it were since it would become a simple matter of checking
for ryholite at Giza and points south. This mineral is
mined a few hundred miles up river but this has no direct
bearing on Giza, no doubt.

I have no problem with the concept that most cold water
geysers are drilled since we know the ancients were adept
at drilling. They might observe water bubbling up and
simply drill down to try to strenghten the flow. These
geysers can spray huge amounts of water and to great height.

There is vulcanic activity far to the south within the Nile
drainage basin. On the south side of this vulcanic mountain
chain is Lake Kivu which is one of only three carbonated
lakes in the world. On the north side beginning at some
indeterminant point is a series of massive aquifers which
step progressively lower to Giza. If the uppermost of these
aquifers was carbonated and tipped to the north it could, at
least in theory, carbonate the aquifer at Giza for centuries
and then gradually fade away.

I don't know if this happened or not. I don't even really
know if it's possible. I do know a lot of evidence appears
to point to it.
