This information would be hard to find but invaluable for my father and I.

I am looking for the composition of work that it was written in and the passage that the reference is made.

Would have helped if you submitted the basis on which you believe Herodotus made such a reference. ^-^

I wonder if you could give a few more details about the context.
I don't seem to be able to find this reference in Herodotus, although he speaks of milk in several places as well as pyramids, but I am not finding this reference to "earth milk".
There is a reference made by Epicurus in speaking of ancient ideas of the origins and evolution of human beings that the first humans were born of the mud and slime and nourished by a milk-like substance from the earth. This occurs in Censorinus, De Die n. 4, 9.
But this may be way off from what you are looking for...if you would supply a few more clues, I'd be happy to keep looking!

Does this have anything to do with the pyramids being geometrically related to the molecular structure of the limestone from which they were built?
In that case I don't know.
