Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is [quoted from a 1998 commencement speech](http://www.buzzfeed.com/natemcdermott/ben-carson-egyptian-pyramids-built-for-grain-storage-not-by) as saying that his personal theory was that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain in during the seven years of plenty: > My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Now all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs' graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain. Are there any Christian groups who share this view? If so, on what do they base this hypothesis?
