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?
