Oh for crying out loud.
Spit up a rope, would you?
The Bible tells us *exactly* where Joseph stored the grain.
Genesis 46-48
46Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt. 47During the seven years of plenty the land brought forth abundantly. 48So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields.…
Pretty sad when you have to dredge up an article from 1998 to find a quibble point. This article is an unnecessary denuding of the nation’s forests.
As far as I know...NO one has established the end-purpose of the Pyramids. No, it’s not a proven science or proven history item....so anyone can still say more or less what they desire.
I will admit, for grain-silo purposes....it’s a marginal one-star possibility. Generally, you’d want a place where it’s near the fields, and this really doesn’t fit the requirement.
To the author:
OH, go take a pill.
Well disagree with Ben’s grain theory but there a lot more things to be concerned about with Ben Carson.
He is basically a weird neurosurgeon who is clueless on the issues and seems over medicated most of the time. Not a stellar candidate.
Face it. I don't know who propped up Dr. Carson as a candidate. Except for when he's in his area of expertise, brain surgery, his facts aren't real factual.
As some ancient astronaut theorists believe?
It is also entirely possible that the pyramids were built for one purpose and eventually ended up being used for something different.
I've seen art galleries which were originally built as churches and trails built for the original purpose of moving British troops into what is now the Pittsburgh area paved over to become highways and turnpikes.
*sigh* Judah was one of Joseph's brothers. Their father was named Jacob and was called Israel by God.
Great research!!!
I hope you can explain how important it is to the illegal immigrants and Syrian ‘refuges’ that Bath House Barry puts in you neighborhood.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu was not the first pyramid, nor did slave labor build the Egyptian Pyramids. Herodotus and Josephius are not always accurate sources.
I have been to the pyramids.
I have been in the pyramids.
The “grain storage” space available in even the largest pyramids would equal 2-3 semi trailers ... certainly not enough to feed a culture for 7 years ... heck, not enough to feed the workers that built the pyramids for a week. Maybe not even a day.
The reason you see, they pyramids are solid rock. They have a couple (usually 2 functional and maybe 2 traps) of stairwells and air vents, and then 2 rooms that are about 6 feet tall and maybe 30 x 30 down inside. There are no lights, and no fans to blow air in, and they are extremely hot and humid (relative to outside) ... not what you would want for grain storage.
Anyone promoting the pyramids as grain silos is a complete, and I mean COMPLETE idiot.
This is pathetic.
Carson only claimed that God told Joseph to build the pyramids. The presumption that God had to tell Joseph the technique is purely a non sequitur.
I disagree with Carson, but the attempt to make this into a theological crisis is pure, unadulterated nonsense.
And Carson most plainly was rejecting the alien theory as ludicrous.
Disappointing. I expect better than this stupid pap from PJMedia.
Exactly
I don’t necessarily buy the “grain silo” argument but to contend such an argument is an insult to God is nonsense.
His christianity is lacking in real knowledge, but I’m a LOT more concerned about his other positions. Wake up America! Why are you allowing yourself to be fooled once again, this time by a republican black man with very concerning allies and friends. He is Obama with an R behind his name. Just as dangerous, really because it would take a while for blinded followers to actually wake up to the reality of being fooled by such a gentle-seeming man. I cannot believe this is happening all over again!
