I noted that late yesterday Carson tried to dismiss the ridicule being directed his way as an attack on his Christian faith by "secular progressives".

Scarborough had a good tweet in response to that saying, forget about secular progressives, he's a life-long Southern Baptist and he thinks Carson's pyramid statement is nuts.

I wouldn't worry too much about Carson. Trump the was the flavor of the month from August to Mid-October. Carson is getting his time under the heat lamp and is clearly melting. I suspect between now and Iowa, Cruz and Rubio will get a brief period of time in or near the top of polls.

Yeah, Carson's done.....

Ben Carson’s campaign on Friday admitted that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated: his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy.

West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.

“In 1969, those who would have completed the entire process would have received their acceptance letters from the Army Adjutant General,” said Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokeswoman for the academy. She said West Point has no records that indicate Carson even began the application process. “If he chose to pursue (the application process) then we would have records indicating such,” she said.

When presented with this evidence, Carson’s campaign conceded the story was false.

Geez.  Who is this guy anyway?

How does someone do that amount of construction in a single lifetime?

And why did the Egyptian's decide to store dead people in them instead?

And why did they include all the treasure?

And why did they need that much 'grain storage'?

Where were they going to get that much grain in the first place?

This guy was a brain surgeon?

Hey, there's more.
Why store grain in the desert instead of in cities where people eat it, or in a port where you can ship it and sell it?

Also, here's a cross-section of the pyramid at Giza.



Anything stand out?
What struck me was, my my, those Egyptians sure did move a lot of stones to create such a tiny space. Wouldn't you expect it to be a large, warehouse structure rather than a bunch of tiny passages?
And why narrow inclines to get to the King's chamber. Wouldn't you expect a wide, level entrance that would facilitate wagons pulled by oxen and filled with grain?

Doesn't seem to hold up so well for Ben. Now, Noah building the Eiffel tower, that makes sense. A tall pole to tie the ark to so that it wouldn't drift away. It's obvious.
