Dr. Idiot on the Purpose of the Great Pyramids…

GOP frontrunner Ben Carson, in a 1998 commencement address, floated his
own personal theory that the pyramids in Egypt were built by Joseph --
the biblical patriarch known for his coat of many colors -- to store
grain, Buzzfeed reported.

In the speech -- given at Andrews University, a school with ties to
Carson's Seventh-day Adventist faith -- the neurosurgeon shot down claim
that aliens had built the pyramids. But he also disagreed with the
archaeological consensus that the pyramids were constructed as tombs for
the pharaohs.

“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.”

In the video surfaced by Buzzfeed Wednesday, Carson goes on to lay out
his argument that the pyramids were constructed for grain storage.

“And when you look at the way that the pyramids are made, with many
chambers that are hermetically sealed, they’d have to be that way for
various reasons," Carson said. "And various of scientists have said,
‘well, you know there were alien beings that came down and they have
special knowledge and that’s how-’ you know, it doesn’t require an alien
being when God is with you.”

I don't know what they were for but I sorta like this idea of
how they were built. The theory is that pyramids were actually carved
out of hills ... shaped from the top down, rather than the bottom up.
