Maynard: Footage has come to light of presidential hopeful, Ben Carson, saying he believed the Biblical figure Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. He also said that scientists can only explain the pyramids with outlandish theories of super-intelligent aliens, despite the huge amounts of written evidence the Ancient Egyptians left behind to explain why they built the pyramids – they were tombs. In the speech he said: “My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. 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. “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. “People may not even be able to explain what it is that you’re accomplishing, but they don’t have to be able to explain it when God is there.” In the speech, he also said, “they [scientists] never have an answer for these kind of things. That’s the wonderful thing about having a relationship with God. God has already told us what happened.”

UncleJesse: He's crizazy.

Speedy: Nuttier than a sack of squirrels.

Riverrat: Actually it's not a bad theory. Joseph was put in charge of storing grain for Egypt to offset a predicted famine that was suppose to last for several years. That would require a massive amount of storage buildings. If the pyramids weren't built for that then where are the massive storage buildings the grain was stored in?

UncleJesse: Carson stores all his LSD in the pyramids now.

snippy: the Sumerians built the pyramids.

Maynard: The pyramids were built to hold the Pharoah's weed!
