    I'd have expected them to find at least a couple of grains somewhere in the pyramids if they were ever used for storing that. More likely thousands or millions.

    As we all know, the Egyptians left explicit records via hieroglyphs and whatnot behind for all the world to see. There is no indication on any level, to believe, that the pyramids were used for storage on any level whatsoever. There would be no purpose in putting grain in a maze of tunnels. This is not what any reasonable person should believe. I like Dr. Carson, but is about as far out in left field as it gets. I have no clue where he would get this from. The 7th Day Adventists aren't fully orthodox, though. Some of their beliefs are strange.

    It'd be good to be very careful with that stuff... lots of darkness floating around in "egyptology"

    Jesus taught me that He is much more interested in the history of His own people... not so much in the ones that embraced darkness.

    Maybe he just thinks the pyramids were a hollow shell and doesn't know how they looked on the inside.

    Imagine how fat those Pharoah corpses would be in the afterlife if they ate all that stored grain

    That's what I was thinking too.

    Thanks for the news flash but I'm quite aware of the demonic elements in Egypt. Jesus teaches me too.

    Fuego I do find that hard to believe. That is the stuff children learn in Middle school.

    Not defending him per se. Just trying to think why someone would think that. I mean they'd almost have to think that to believe what he said.
