EGYPT’S PYRAMIDS WERE built by the biblical Joseph to store grain and were not, as archaeologists believe, tombs for pharaohs, Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson has said.
The retired neurosurgeon seeking his party’s nomination for the White House made these remarks in a 1998 address at Andrews University, a school associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to which he belongs, in a video published yesterday by Buzzfeed. The church is a conservative evangelical Christian one.
“My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain,” Carson said.
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.
Carson added:
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.
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’.
In the book of Genesis, Joseph was one of the 12 sons of Jacob. He was sold by his brothers as a slave to merchants headed to Egypt. He then becomes one of Egypt’s most powerful men.
Carson and Donald Trump have been leading their party’s crowded nominating race.
Carson, however, is seen by many as someone with conservative values rooted in traditional Christian beliefs, and able to appeal to the party’s most conservative Christian religious base.

I wonder will Kenny say something Important today or will he just be there to kiss Merkels ass?
As long as our gang insist that corporation tax isn’t negotiable, we may forget a debt deal. Raising this soft tax by 2 or 3% in order to have the majority of bank debt wiped out sounds like a no Brainer to me! It seems that business leaders have Kenny and co brainwashed though, so I’m not holding my breath!
Bit of luck the snivelling worm stays there.
Hopefully it was a one way ticket he bought.
All this amounts to is a photo op with the power brokers & another opportunity for Enda to delude himself into thinking that his presence there makes a difference. I’m sure their collective conscience will be eased over a nice free meal although that does not apply to Enda as his conscience walked through the exit door decades ago.
Can’t see how difficult it would be to patrol the medditeranean and stop those boats taking off in the first place. With all the satellite and military technology the eu has at it’s disposal, a few rust buckets should not be a problem to interdict or blockade.
Must be a matter of there not being the political will. Again, fear of do gooding leftists bleeding hearts. Funny how the “Europe last” brigade hold all the sway.
Hopefully the EU Council will put Kenny into childcare until his nationality is proven, he most certainly is not Irish and was probably given away by his parents after he was born. He stated himself that he was “proud to be European.”
I’ve never heard an Irish person refer to themselves as a ‘European’. So Kenny’s not a traitor after all. He is not Irish but European.
Now it all makes sense.
Wonder what the odds are that the US NSA will also be in attendance….in *spirit* if not physically
I take it there are no debates expected at this meeting. I see he is also now calling for the banking deal to be made good. I guess that means the only seismic shift Enda got was in his head and no where else.
I suppose at least our people leaving have a decent transport system to go on ,for the moment anyway
have your say
