Pyramids Built By Joseph To Store Grain?

[bluebell]

Okay...big disclaimer...for those who may not know, I am not even Mormon. But why else than grain storage can non-Mormons think Joseph built the Pyramids? Please recall that Napoleon observed them before Joseph had his first visions! It's fine if you guys think Joseph built the Pyramids, as a little child before Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. But it stretches credulity for LDS to insist that as an infant, Joseph, before HE was even a Latter-day Saint, built the Pyramids as the earliest Restoration Temples! Sorry about that, I just have to agree with the presidential candidate on this one.

Next I'm guessing you'll claim Joseph was going to use all that grain he was storing for the distillation of ardent spirits.  Shame on you.

Hey blue.

 

I saw the thread title for several days before looking at it. I had mistakenly thought they must be talking about your Joseph. Joseph Smith? Pyramids? Huh? You guys talk about him as Joseph right? Finally I realized how absurd my assumption was. Maybe I should have read the opening post once? I am sorry to make you read my post three times, but glad you caught on. 

 

Heh.

For those who might have missed strappinglad's suggestion in another thread, the film "Patterns of Evidence - Exodus" is streaming on Netflix, and offers quite a number of very interesting archaeological implications about Joseph in Egypt, the Israelites, and the Exodus.
