Ben Carson believes that the pyramids were built by Joseph to store grain. Not built by the pharaohs.

And he wants to be president?

Nobody knows exactly what they were originally used for. Stop pretending anyone does, it's all a guess at this point.

He represents a majority of the voting public.

He's someone to whom people can relate.

He's a shrewd one, he is.

You also have no idea why they were originally built since not a single person on the planet does.

Well, we can rule out some things, though, can't we?

The pyramids aren't hollow. They are solid with narrow passages. That certainly doesn't scream grain storage.

We know for damn sure it wasn't grain storage.

For two reasons:
  • Actual contemporary granaries have been excavated, and
  • Only idiots would construct something like the pyramids for the purpose of grain storage. And the ancient Egyptians weren't idiots. Also, it takes an idiot to look at the internal structure of a pyramid and think "Grain storage - makes sense."

Pretending that "we don't know exactly" means "every wild guess is equally valid" does mesh in nicely with Carson's creationism, so I guess he's consistent in his intellectual laziness.
