Ben Carson's Strange Theory About The Egyptian Pyramids

[Lakhota]

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson once vocalized an odd theory about Egyptian history.

According to a video unearthed by BuzzFeed on Wednesday, Carson posited in a 1998 commencement address at Andrews University that the pyramids in Egypt were used for grain storage rather than as tombs for ancient kings and queens.

"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain," Carson said, referring to the Old Testament. "Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, [something to store that grain] would have to be something awfully big, if you stop and think about it."

Carson appeared to be referencing the biblical figure of Joseph, who was sold into slavery in Egypt and later went on to advise the Egyptian pharaoh to store grain due to a coming famine.

J.G. Manning, a professor of classics who studies Egyptian history at Yale University, called Carson's version of events "lunatic."

Grain storage? I prefer to think that space aliens built them.

Aren't the entrances to pyramids on the small side and thus impractical as grain storage or distribution centres?

Who the fuck cares Delta. If it were for grain storage, power plant, tomb or alien beacon. Even if somebody gets it right it still won't give us jobs and better economy at the present.

The far left always gets things wrong..

Medieval Europeans believed the pyramids were granaries described in the Old Testament. Egypt's pharaoh was disturbed by dreams in which seven lean cows devoured seven fat cows and seven withered ears of grain consumed seven healthy ones. Joseph interpreted the dreams to mean that there would be seven years of abundance in Egypt followed by seven years of famine. He advised pharaoh to begin storing surplus grain.

The description of the pyramids as "Joseph's Granaries" stretches as far back as the sixth century, when they were identified as such by Gregory of Tours in his History of the Franks. The theory was further popularized by works such as The Book of John Mandeville, a hugely popular 14th century travelogue.

This is not Ben Carson's theory, it is theory that existed long before the far left Huffington Post reported their highly partisan blog.

See history is not the strong suit of the far left and their meaningless drones..

 

[Katzndogz]

That's what happens when you study medicine instead of Egyptology.

 

[nuhuh]

I don't need a whole lot more proof that Ben Carson needs to be drug tested before he is allowed to become president.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Joseph???

As in the guy who didn't or maybe didn't father Jesus?

That would make Joseph thousands and thousands of years old.

Anyone surprised that the gullible RWs are okay with Carson rewriting the bible?

^^^ Thread ends right here cuz that easily makes just as much sense as the silliness the RWs spew.

I'm not sure which is funnier, Carson's looney theory, or your willingness to humor him.

The pyramids were built by futurists who envisioned a time when Egyptians would need a high point to put their tv antennas,
in order to pick up the BBC.

How do the grain elevators work in the pyramids?
