Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson thinks Egypt's ancient pyramids were intended to store grain, not dead pharaohs.

"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain," he told the audience. "Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs' graves.

Wow.

Nuttier than squirrel shit. Everyone worries about Iran. There's a very real possibility that a religious nutbar could be in control of the world's largest nuclear arsenal on our southern border.

[sandorski]

For such a highly educated person, he sure is stupid as shit.

Gotta admire his ability to avoid cognitive dissonance.

Says a lot of disturbing things about the people that like him and have made him so popular. Almost 60 years since the space race began and the GOP are in the control of people who have managed to become more stupid over time instead of smarter.

Hopefully he's had time to educate himself a little better since that comment was made 17 years ago.

The revelation came after Buzzfeed unearthed a 17-year-old address Carson made to a graduating class at Andrews University in Michigan

But hey since they're digging up old crap on the Republicans I wait with bated breath for them to dig up Hillary's unbelievably dumb statements like

$1:

"Who is going to find out? These women are trash. Nobody’s going to believe them.”or "We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Everybody's got skeletons in the closet and at some point someone is going to bring them to light. So, before people judge Ben Carson from 17 years ago perhaps they'd better start hoping their choice for President isn't an idiot but, given that 99% of politicians are, it just might be wishful thinking.

After this video surfaced this last week or so, a reporter asked him about it. He confirmed he still believes it, even pointed out that it makes no sense that the pyramids were used for burial rather than grain storage.

Got a link?

If that's true then the scariest part isn't that he might become President but rather, that someone let this guy operate on peoples brains.

Never mind I found it.

What an idiot... we all know that aliens built them.

[desertdude]

The Egyptians must be farming the fuck out of their land that they needed such huge silos

The education system down here isn't great for the average person. It's been like that for a long time, too. During WWII, one if my uncle's jobs as an RCAF officer in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan was teaching remedial math to American "College Boys" who came up here to train. It seems that post-secondary Americans were not able to achieve Canadian Grade 10 standards. I would say, in my experience in the business world over the last three decades that nothing much has changed. I guess that if you have convinced yourself that you are absolutely the best that the world has to offer, you don't look around you at other nations standards because, what's the point if you are already the bestest best.
