Donald Trump enjoyed learning about Dr. Ben Carson’s theory that the Egyptian pyramids were built to serve as grain silos on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday morning, noting that he will likely start mentioning Carson’s beliefs on the campaign trail.
“You informed me very interestingly about the pyramids. I think I’ll have to put that into my repertoire when I talk about Ben,” Trump told the “Morning Joe” hosts. “That was a strange deal.”
In a 1998 speech, Carson floated the theory “that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain,” referring to the Biblical figure.
“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,” he said, according to video surfaced by Buzzfeed News on Wednesday.
When asked on Wednesday night if he stands by the theory, Carson told CBS News, “It’s still my belief, yes.”
He said that “the pyramids were made in a way that they had hermetically sealed compartments.”
“You would need that if you were trying to preserve grain for a long period of time,” Carson added, according to CBS.
Just checked Fox and any mention of Ben and his crazy pyramid scheme…er…belief was absent. I’m just shocked.
Kook fight!
Considering the only thing found in pyramids are dead people, jewelry, and sand, i would have to say, grain is unlikely to be stored at any significant level other than as “food for the afterlife”.
THEy NEEDed DINOsaurs TO BUIld THE PYramids BEcause they are THE ONLY creature GOd made strong Enough to LIFT up Those heavy sTOne BLOcks.
Seriously, who’d have thunk that the 2016 Presidential election politics would encompass an explanation of the Pyramids… or the role of what-if Jews had guns during the Holocaust… just how bad slavery really was considering ObamaCare… or the epidemic of prisoners turning gay? Guess these are contributions from Ben Carson. More pertinent, journalists need to follow up with Ben about his concerns that Obama would probably cancel the election altogether in his quest to totally destroy America and reign here forever? That pesky calendar keeps colliding with the RWNJ’s conspiracy fears - just when is Obama going to complete all these initiatives?
