Dr. Ben 'Sphinx' Carson: "Pyramids in Egypt built to store grain."

[Lion Heart 15,041]

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."

Does this man have a brain?

All pyramids found were contained with a tomb at the very bottom center of it for a certain pharaoh.

In Egypt during the pyramid times they didn't even have wheat or grains..

Yes, archeologists who have studied them for hundreds of years are actually wrong, and you, Mr. Carson, are correct. Thanks for finally clearing that up for us!

Add that all together with a sleepy uncharismatic voice and awkward hand movements and you have someone who's actually leading the Republican nomination in some polls. The Republican Party seriously needs an image change.

and then the republican party wonders why they have a hard time winning?
