NAPLES, Florida -- Ben Carson stood by his long-held belief about ancient pyramids in Egypt, that they were used to store grain, rather than to inter pharaohs.
Asked about this Wednesday, Carson told CBS News, "It's still my belief, yes."
The subject came up when Buzzfeed published a 1998 commencement speech delivered by Carson at Andrews University, a college founded by Seventh-day Adventists.
"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain," Carson said. "Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs' graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don't think it'd just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain."

Rita? Friend? Buddy? Pal? I am not sure if I can say this delicately (as I don’t want to make any sudden movements here) but...
When you and er...Gladys, are done discussing the pyramids, I think one of you needs to see about upping the dosage on that medication, tranquilizers AND pot.
Just sayin...
Your pal, Normie
(Who backs careful and without any threatening movements out of the rubber room) ;)
Ben, Ben, Ben. I don’t want you to be the nominee but I’m sure you’re basically a nice guy. A little education here goes a long ways.
+1
lololol
Joseph was, after the dream.
But not with pyramids. :)
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to be a brain surgeon.
He shouldn't be opining on Pyramidal Granaries... he's no Grain Surgeon.
GOP: Please get over your infatuation with unqualified racial token candidates.
Ben Carson, who has never supervised more than a handful of people, who supports illegal alien amnesty and who has crackpot ideas like this pyramid weirdness - would be polling under 1 percent were he not black.
Then there are the definitely ridiculous beliefs that actually do us great harm:
Let’s not forget Al Gore’s bogus Global Warming Belief.
Let’s not forget Barack Obama’s bogus Belief that Islam is Peaceful.
Let’s not forget Barack Obama’s removal of job application questions about applicants’ felonies.
Let’s not forget San Francisco lawmakers’ belief that their giving sanctuary to murderers will bring world peace.
Ben Carson: Archaeologists Are Wrong, The Pyramids Were Built To Store Grain

Thanks for the link: Gantenbrink built the upuat (sp?) quasi-robotic explorer that went up the small odd shafts and found a bronze or copper door. Because he held a press conference instead of presenting the findings to Zahi “Zowie” Hawass behind closed doors, Zahi kicked him out, wouldn’t even accept the donation of the robot in order to conduct further research.
Having been in the region and seen the capabilities of the majority of the people I’d have to say they were built by aliens...
Bahd-a-bing! LOL
I detest CBS.. Why did my wonderful SEC join up w them..
Gosh CBS.. Do ya remember Cruz talking about substantive question?
Thanks for confirming what he said... Challenge... Let’s start w 2001.. Make a you tube clip with all of the non substantive questions asked by the lame stream media.. Carson should at least hear Cruz set things straight instead of letting the media lead him.. If you can’t turn the tables on a journalist... What are you going to do with the rough and tumble negotiations with world leaders?
Seriously... While I believe the best leaders are the best followers.. You must take charge when it is time.
Ah, it was imported sand that was enriched with minerals.
That's no different than the liberal yuppies of today who insist that imported bottled water is far better than the local stuff that comes out of the ground.
Someone probably got rich overcharging the pharaoh for the imported sand.
What do you expect from someone who believes Jesus is Michael. These folks are nuts. All aboard the crazy train woo woo
Did Carson say all pyramids? This post from Dec 2014 suggests that at least the very first step pyramid was used exactly for grain storage.
“The Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara Egypt contains grain silos and administrative buildings. Not only was it the first pyramid, it contained the first silos and the first building with columns. It was designed by Imhotep who may have been Joseph of the Bible.”

Isn't this great, having all these candidates' histories we can dig into--this one going back 17 years.
But Obama magically appears in 2004 with no history whatsoever. Heck "Obama" isn't even his real name. And he's elected president, almost without question.
