If the tips of those pyramids were above water during Noah's flood, wouldn't that mean there was still a ton of land left?
There are higher hills in Egypt, let alone mountain ranges.
Not only are there higher hills, the Pyramid of Djedefre, which is now mostly gone, was put on a plateau overlooking the Giza pyramids specifically so Djedfre, who was the sun of Khufu, who built the great pyramid, could say that his was higher than his father's.
Noah was before Moses so I don't the pyramids were built before the flood.
The Bible doesn't actually say that the Israelites built the pyramids, but the entire Egyptian pharaonic line would have post-dated Noah, so it still doesn't make chronological sense within the Biblical narrative.
Yeah, but they didn't build oars or sails, so they were kind of stuck.
Also, everyone else and the other animals didn't know about gravity, so they didn't realize they could have just walked uphill to not drown.
It's the contextual details that matter.
