“Can I ask, what in the Sam hill does Carson’s view of the pyramids have to do with what he would do as President?”
Maybe it’s just me, but having common sense is a “litmus test” for presidential candidates. Anyone who believes something like this has none.
“I.e., unless someone has written records from around 1500 B.C., count me skeptical.”
Yes, they’re called hieroglyphics, we’ve been able to translate them for over a century now.
My Bible knowledge is a bit out of practice but there were 7 years of abundance followed by 7 years of famine. The Great Pyramid took 20 years to build and most pyramids took 10. So yeah, Ben’s theory is a little loopy. Regardless, he has absolutely zero qualifications to be president.
Even the Bible proves Carson wrong on this, because it says the grain was stored in the cities, and the pyramids were not built in cities.

Dr. Ben Carson is Herman Cain, software release 2.0.1 ...
The SDA folks have a bit of a bug about healthy eating. (The Kelloggs of cereal fame were from that line.) This is basically a religious discussion. I think they play it up too much and the tail is wagging the dog. Working men do great on those narsty cholesterol rich breakfasts which are denser in calories than grain is. But if this really was a God thing then all else would kinda sorta make sense.
Clearly, the elites FEAR Ben Carson. That’s why he needs to be Trump’s running mate. The elites fear Carson because they know the common folks love him.
That’s an excellent point... plus, it was not easy to put up a pyramid, either.
At least he did not say God put dino bones into the dirt.
Its amazing what intelligent people believe.
Exactly. Who cares about this garbage, we have a woman running for president who knowingly lied to the American people about what happened under her watch to an American Ambassador and three other Americans! For goodness sakes.
Which is more important: Hillary’s known lies or Carson’s hair-brained ideas about the purpose of the pyramids? We know what the MSM thinks is more important to report but does that necessarily make it so?
Ancient Egyptians WERE white. Or at least, not sub-Saharan black Africans.
Nefertiti, ca. 1330 BC
The pyramid-building, banks-of-the-Nile-farming Egyptians probably came over from Mesopotamia (where agriculture is thought to have gotten started in the West), saw all the fertile farmland, slaughtered or drove off any prior hunter/gatherer people there, and took it for their own.
What year was the huff?

He’s my favorite honky!

This shows a profound lack of intelligence. Thirty seconds of thinking about this should be sufficient for any decent scientist that storage structures require stability, easy access for loading/unloading (proximity, roads, doors, halls), minimizing footprint, while maximizing internal storage volume. The Great Pyramids are mostly solid with only a fraction of a percent usable space, and winding, narrow, and steep rough hewn tunnels connecting the rare open spaces.
Apparently, he already has a hobby.
Not only do the Democrats tell us whom they fear, so do the liberal Republicans.
