Carson: Pyramids in Egypt built by Biblical figure Joseph
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says it's still his belief the great pyramids in Egypt were built by the Biblical figure Joseph to store grain, not as tombs for pharaohs.
Video posted online Wednesday by Buzzfeed News shows Carson explaining his theory 17 years ago at a college affiliated with his Seventh-day Adventist Church. In the video, Carson says: "My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids in order to store grain." He was referring to the Old Testament story of Joseph predicting famine and advising the pharaoh to store food.
