Ben Carson: Egyptian Pyramids Built For Grain Storage, Not By Aliens Or As Tombs

09 Nov 2015 • buzzfeed.com

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson told graduates during a commencement address in the late ’90s that he believed the pyramids in Egypt were built by the biblical figure Joseph to store grain, and not, as most archeologists contend, as tombs for pharaohs.

At the 1998 commencement for Andrews University, a school associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Carson also dismissed the notion that aliens were somehow involved in the construction of the pyramids.

Ugh. Grain storage? Um, ok. If those two were are our only choices I think it’s far more likely the aliens did it. I think I could forgive him for saying it back in 1998, but if that’s is story and he’s sticking to it… Watch out.
