Egyptians and Twitter Mock Ben Carson for Dumb Pyramids Theory @alternet

Egyptians and Twitter Mock Ben Carson for Dumb Pyramids Theory @alternet

"There were the stories of him being a rageaholic, homicidal neighborhood menace that, oddly, none of his neighbors remember; there was the Incredible Disappearing West Point Full Scholarship. And there was – stop me if you’ve heard this one before – the one about the pyramids being gigantic grain storage silos for the Old Testament’s Joseph. Never mind that the pyramids are solid, the story of Joseph took place 500 years before the pyramids were built, and the fact that the Egyptians wrote down the reasons they built the pyramids. Ben Carson still believes his cockamamie theory because crazy is impressively stubborn."
