Can I ask, what in the Sam hill does Carson’s view of the pyramids have to do with what he would do as President? What does it have to do with any issues facing our country today??
today?? Why the heck is this even being discussed??
I’m sure the liberal comedians who feed so many millenials their news will have fun with this topic.
And that's why they are making it an issue today.
Also, it may help to make him look less qualified to be President, even to non millennials. At least I'm sure the GOPe sure hopes it does.
“what he would do as President”?
build huge pyramids to store grain?
(just kidding :-) )
It has everything to do about being president.
What if he had said that Jesus bringing Lazarus back from the dead was nothing more than a magic act at the local circus?
He is a doctor you know, he knows about these things.
It is his lack of judgement for even speaking about this.
No, Ben Carson is not presidential material, not even close.
It doesn’t mean anything-——except that Carson is trying to be demonized 24/7 because he doesn’t “think” how the “experts/gods” tell him.
He is off the plantation....and has to be destroyed.
Now, when Charles Dawkins states that “aliens seeded the earth”-—he is a great “scientist”-—and when that godless “brilliant” scientist, Steven Hawking, states “Philosophy is dead” in his book— stupid, ignorant, irrational statements, they are “still” glorified. They always are because they promote the irrational atheist “meme” (only allowed way to “think”)....so they are “smart” and brilliant, despite stating incoherent DUMB things.
Anyone who promotes Christianity, at any level, will be marginalized and destroyed because it is the ONLY Worldview which created the Age of Reason and Modern Science and the Marxists need to destroy the Christian ideology of Individualism and Natural Law Theory (basis of US Constitution)——to collapse civil society and create little sodomite, pagan, tribal “thinkers”-—so they can have “happy slaves” like Fichte designed in the Prussian system of “group think’.
I did read yesterday that in some locations, pyramids WERE
used to store grain. (I didn’t write it down because it
didn’t occur to me that it would be a major issue.)
At present, I like a Cruz/Carson team.
“Can I ask, what in the Sam hill does Carson’s view of the pyramids have to do with what he would do as President?”
Maybe it’s just me, but having common sense is a “litmus test” for presidential candidates. Anyone who believes something like this has none.
Because he’s a like a liberal moonbat, disconnected from the real world. He’s spent too much time reading medical journals in the nurses lounge. I’m sure he’s a terrific physician, but he should stick with what he does best. IMOHO
Low information voter behavior is not the sole property of liberal Democrats.
Here is something from the article’s link. I tried to carry over a number of links the article posted 11/6, but you will have to go to the article to click them.
“It might be nice to think that Carson has learned since his talk, nearly two decades ago, more about the ancient Egyptian civilization. But no; Carson affirmed this belief in Joseph and his amazing technicolor grain silo to CBS News last night, doubling down on a profound, willful ignorance of science.
In the end, does it really matter what Carson thinks about the Egyptian pyramids? There will always be science deniers, there will always be people swayed by pseudoarchaeology, and there will always be people who believe what they want no matter the facts. It does matter, though, because Carson is vying for the job of representing the United States. So it matters that Carson casually rejects hundreds of years’ worth of research because in denying science, he throws the U.S. back into the past. It matters that he brazenly denies the Egyptian people their rightful history because this marginalizes an entire culture and makes the U.S. look like an ignorant bully.
There’s no denying that humans are — and have always been — very clever at using and creating their environment and culture. So let’s stop pretending more complicated explanations are needed for the creation of ancient monuments. [Update: 11/6 - Since many commenters have asked for more specific explanations of the consensus on the purpose for the pyramids, I am going to post some links here.”
My thoughts for those with little knowledge about Egypt. The Exodus is generally suggested to be somewhere around 1300 BC, give or take a few centuries. The Great Pyramids of Giza were build around 1,500 years earlier, and even smaller pyramid building stopped around 1,000 years earlier. Around that time and afterwards burial sites had a lot written on their walls about their occupants. No word of any grains stored except small amounts for consumption by the departed. There was a recent documentary theorizing why King “Tut’s” tomb was found mostly intact. It is believed that a major flood dumped silt and rocks on top of the sealed tomb and hid it from view of grave robbers. At any rate here is some real information.

This site has a number of illustrations. If you look at the diagram of the Great Pyramid, you may ask yourself, why would anyone build a grain storage with so little storage space inside?
“Can I ask, what in the Sam hill does Carson’s view of the pyramids have to do with what he would do as President? What does it have to do with any issues facing our country today??”
Agreed. We all have some goofy ideas. (or is it just me? Well, me and Carson?)
