One more crazy idea from Ben Carson. How much do we have to learn before he's dismissed out of hand? Do we want his finger on the nuclear button?

COMMENTS: 
*  He may be too crazy to fail and people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time could make him president if too many sane people don't vote.
*  You know, it would be fine for Carson to just say, "Hey, 17 years ago I had some unconventional ideas on some things." Except, he won't, because he is beholden to his Sky Pappy. He's the leader of the Not Ready For White House Players.
    *  I truly can't believe this man is leading a national party in polling for the presidency....
*  It is not unusual to see an otherwise intelligent person spout inanities because of his or her religious beliefs. Carson is a prime example.
    *  It is unusual for that person to then get thousands (millions?) of people to believe they should lead them as President.
*  Be aware everyone, Carson is a way out end Of Days religious cult fanatic. He is not a real christian. He worships doomsday Revelations and armegeddon not Christ and love. And this makes him kinda insane
*  He believes in the rapture - want him to have the nuclear codes? I don't.
*  another day, another strange theory from Carson
*  What's really scary is that about 20% of the voters actually think this religious fanatic has the right stuff to be President.

Ben Carson's Strange Theory About The Egyptian Pyramids

Say what?

By Igor Bobic, November 4, 2015

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson once vocalized an odd theory about Egyptian history.

According to a video unearthed by BuzzFeed on Wednesday, Carson posited in a 1998 commencement address at Andrews University that the pyramids in Egypt were used for grain storage rather than as tombs for ancient kings and queens.

"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain," Carson said, referring to the Old Testament. "Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, [something to store that grain] would have to be something awfully big, if you stop and think about it."

Carson appeared to be referencing the biblical figure of Joseph, who was sold into slavery in Egypt and later went on to advise the Egyptian pharaoh to store grain due to a coming famine.

The famed neurosurgeon, who is currently the front-runner for the GOP nomination, added in the speech that he didn't think aliens built the pyramids, as some conspiracy theorists have stated.

"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," he 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."

J.G. Manning, a professor of classics who studies Egyptian history at Yale University, called Carson's version of events "lunatic." 

"It's a biblical view of the pyramids," he told The Huffington Post. "It just has no basis in fact."

Asked Wednesday by CBS News whether he still believed the pyramids were primarily used for grain storage, Carson said, "It's still my belief, yes."
