The readers comments are better than the new theory.

I love the idea that it might have been a giant trampoline. :-)

It was built by Charles Dawson.



Just don't ask Ben Carson, who believes the Egyptian pyramids were for
storing grain, as well as that he can become US president.


It must be true. It says so in the bible :-)


Right, he's simply a man of conviction. People believe in all kinds of
things. Like the pharoahs who built those tombs thought they were going
to another place. Every where you look, people have convictions
unsupported by or even contradictory to evidence; most of them segregate
these from the rest of their lives. Carson's brain surgeries weren't
affected by his biblical convictions, for example. There are no public
policies that would result from them.

Constrast this with politicians who hold to new religion beliefs and
never rest to implement their convinctions with statist means, because
they think they are doing right and are more intelligent and wise than
their subjects. I am far more concerned about them.

What I would be more interested in about Ben Carson, is how travelled he
is, which is pertinent to this newsgroup. I've found my travels to be
very illuminating, and would prefer the next present to have travelled
widely. So does anyone know what travel the candidates have made?


Doesn't matter, Carson's poll numbers have dropped. The fundamentalists
are glomming onto Cruz now.
