Conceding that the theory is historically pretty flaky, this sounds like a gross overreaction.

This pyramid stuff gives us a little insight to how flaky Carson is, but the policy issues of amnesty, gun control, TPP, Death panels, statehood for Puerto Rico, his associations with Sharpton and Farrakhan, along with his wacky statements on foreign policy are far more troubling.

I see him as Obama/Carter.

The archaeological evidence is solid -- from ziggurats in modern Iraq to smaller pyramids in Egypt, the record shows how kings built tombs for themselves, larger and larger, until Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure built the three pyramids at Giza.

Actually, this is backwards. The oldest pyramids are the biggest. Egypt went from a golden age, and then collapsed. Everything is reversed with Egypt, chronologically.

And, BTW, we CAN'T reproduce the Great Pyramid, even today.

Can. NOT. Do. It.

You Truympkins will even sink to the level of attacking a man’s religion if he gets in your guy’s way.

“You Truympkins will even sink to the level of attacking a man’s religion if he gets in your guy’s way.”

No one is attacking his religion per se; more we are attacking Carson’s own spoken viewpoint based on that religion, his interpretation of it (although 7th Day Adventist is a rather strange version of Christian religion, in my own personal opinion). If you can’t point out the flaws in certain religious beliefs (which just about all of them have some; see all religious wars that have been fought over them) then stop knocking Mormons, Scientologists, Buddhists, Hindus, and many other religions YOU decide are flawed based on our own religious beliefs and interpretations. Either you can knock all of them or you can knock none. I fall on the side of free speech.

No one in their right mind believes the Pyramids were grain storage facilities, no one. This has next to nothing to do with religion, even though Carson and a few others with strange notions like his that he feels is based on his own religion, think it somehow does. The idea is crazy, not based in fact, and should not be defended on any basis as possibly being true, because it isn’t and there is overwhelming proof otherwise. Period.

I don’t trust Carson any further than I could throw him. He’s, how shall I say it, odd, a brilliant neurosurgeon, ... but odd. Not Presidential material. I think some of it is those eyes of his, that are constantly at half mast, lol. As I said, odd, or perhaps doped up. I’d love to see his own personal medical records.

Many occult groups believe the pyramids were made using occultic powers.

Very possible since even in Moses’ time, the sorcerers were able to perform certain feats using their occultic powers. Of course, the sorcerers were still no match for the Lord’s power. Below is the account of one instance:

“So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake.

Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.”

(Exodus 7:10-120
