Here is something from the article’s link. I tried to carry over a number of links the article posted 11/6, but you will have to go to the article to click them.
“It might be nice to think that Carson has learned since his talk, nearly two decades ago, more about the ancient Egyptian civilization. But no; Carson affirmed this belief in Joseph and his amazing technicolor grain silo to CBS News last night, doubling down on a profound, willful ignorance of science.
In the end, does it really matter what Carson thinks about the Egyptian pyramids? There will always be science deniers, there will always be people swayed by pseudoarchaeology, and there will always be people who believe what they want no matter the facts. It does matter, though, because Carson is vying for the job of representing the United States. So it matters that Carson casually rejects hundreds of years’ worth of research because in denying science, he throws the U.S. back into the past. It matters that he brazenly denies the Egyptian people their rightful history because this marginalizes an entire culture and makes the U.S. look like an ignorant bully.
There’s no denying that humans are — and have always been — very clever at using and creating their environment and culture. So let’s stop pretending more complicated explanations are needed for the creation of ancient monuments. [Update: 11/6 - Since many commenters have asked for more specific explanations of the consensus on the purpose for the pyramids, I am going to post some links here.”
My thoughts for those with little knowledge about Egypt. The Exodus is generally suggested to be somewhere around 1300 BC, give or take a few centuries. The Great Pyramids of Giza were build around 1,500 years earlier, and even smaller pyramid building stopped around 1,000 years earlier. Around that time and afterwards burial sites had a lot written on their walls about their occupants. No word of any grains stored except small amounts for consumption by the departed. There was a recent documentary theorizing why King “Tut’s” tomb was found mostly intact. It is believed that a major flood dumped silt and rocks on top of the sealed tomb and hid it from view of grave robbers. At any rate here is some real information.

This site has a number of illustrations. If you look at the diagram of the Great Pyramid, you may ask yourself, why would anyone build a grain storage with so little storage space inside?

Their deteriorated remains can still be seen, not sure how easy it is to actually get there, though, sometimes sites are off-limits. Anyway, the other Israelite/Hebrew/Jewish sources and traditions note that they built pyramids during their captivity in Egypt, and those are the ones they built. The land of Goshen is, therefore, west of the Nile (not in the eastern or NE delta), and was fed by the Canal of Goshen (still there, still called that today).
Many of the same people criticizing Carson actually believe that gender has nothing to do with chromosomes or endocrinology or physiology. When it comes to GMOs, especially seeds that minimize the need for herbicides and insecticides, the entire left make the Luddites look positively progressive. If you scratch a leftist you find someone screaming "vaccines cause autism."
