When "widely believed" means "two other people have said it". People are so afraid of being wrong on one thing (like Carson being any good) they will make up a load of lies to defend it.

It got worse, someone else then posted a link to The Secret Power of Pyramids - which is part of the website of some place called The Pyramid Cafe in India

There's nothing like a website lifted right out of 1995 to lend an air of credibility to an idea ...

For the icing on the cake, this poster also said OK, who needs a lesson in "google"?

That's gold

Do some research already



That statement in itself scares me!

A presidential candidate says that he believes that the egyptian pyramids were used to store grain, not as tombs, that scientists think that aliens did it, but you don't need aliens when you have god.

I do hope he wins.

I think they just prove that if you want a building to last, that is the best shape. Its pretty self-evident because all of the other giant buildings around them have fallen down and disapeared.


As have the giants that built them.


Alien giants, obviously.

Lion-shaped buildings also apparently work fairly well, except the nose falls off.

That's where the giant alien Dentist lived.

Dentists make noses fall off?

Nutek

They shoot them. It's a Dentist thing. We wouldn't understand.

Just the ones with names though. As long as they avoid getting a name they're ok.

My son's orthodontist has had enough money off me over the last two years to shoot several lions.

When we were there we were told that the noses were broken off because later it was believed that the spirit could escape through the nose. Whether this is true or not I don't know.
I too am not sure if I believe the grain storage theory. )

what, you mean you're not sure whether you believe the pyramids WERE grain storage or WEREN'T?

Given that archaeologists have found ancient grain silos in various places in Egypt, I think they have a pretty good idea of how they stored their grain. (hint, the silos weren't triangular in shape). Here's one example.
