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

[GMDino]

This is why you're not even a GOOD troll. Kind sad actually as you started out with great potential to stir things up in PnR and now you're just a one trick pony.

So we started with a story about Ben Carson and what he "believes".

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.

“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 Old Testament, Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob, is sold into slavery in Egypt by his jealous brothers. He eventually rose to become a top aide to the Egyptian pharaoh, advising him of a dream vision he had of coming years of famine in the ancient kingdom. Joseph’s sage advice of the coming famine (and directions to store gain) helped the Egyptians survive the famine.

Carson said the design of the pyramids made clear they were 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. 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.”

So its ANOTHER example of how a brilliant neurosurgeon doesn't have clue about anything outside of his specific field of study. And out of all he said every response you have made in this entire thread to this point is:

But that's just me.

Simply said there is more proof that pyramids could have been used to store grain than there is that aliens from outer space built them.

Where is your space alien evidence?

And you seriously think anyone is seriously going to debate you are take the bait when you offer nothing?

btw, this IS all about you. You are not contributing anything other than to take one word / phrase and try to make the entire post about it. Same as you always do. Your method of trolling has gotten boring. Maybe you SHOULD make another alt account just to spice things up a bit.
