1. Thanks for the early morning laugh!

[Snarkoleptic]

2. You're welcome, LTH!

[MiniMe]

3. They are going after him for a lot of archeological wonders

[L. Coyote]

6. Indiana Carson and the Temple of Grain - #BenCarsonWikipedia born

#BenCarsonWikipedia What a great moment of hilarity compared to his hate messages. We'll get back to that focus later if he's even around.

17. The jokes almost write themselves.

Don't they?

[Hepburn]

4. Latte spew!

Ummmmmmmmmm...but what's sad? He probably thinks this way!

[spinbaby]

5. I've been seeing this all over Facebook

Also the one where he declares the Colesium to be an ancient pasta strainer.

[Snarkoleptic]

8. And they keep on coming...

[L. Coyote]

13. And then there was this:

15. He finally discovered Machu Picchu

[Beowulf42]

7. What?

I know Ben is a serious nut job, but he really didn't say this did he? I mean REALLY DIDN'T SAY THIS?

[Snarkoleptic]

9. The memes are spinoffs of his comments about the pyramids.

"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain," Carson said, referring to the Old Testament. "Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, [something to store that grain] would have to be something awfully big, if you stop and think about it."

14. A tweet storm followed release of his Joseph's Grain Pyramids video, the outlandishness continues

and for the archaeologist, this is a particularly interesting meme fest.

This was Aristotle's house, which was used to store peaches and fruit loops

10. But I believe he DID actually say this...

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. That actually makes sense.......

[L. Coyote]

11. According to #bencarsonwikipedia this is a pharaoh's tomb.

[L. Coyote]

16. His parents knew early on that he was destined to be an archaeologist:

[DCBob]

12. Ha!

[smirkymonkey]

18. There are some good ones here!

[krispos42]

19. Just to be clear, that's satire right?

(Please say yes)

[L. Coyote]

21. No, not a drop

all ridicule all the time

[Skittles]

22. I spot an error there

it is West Point

[Snarkoleptic]

23. Spelling and reality both seem to elude him.

This Bible quote from poverbs (sic) 22:4 is carved in marble above his fireplace, misspelling and all.
Plus the 'P' should have been capitalized. So much fail in that thing.
I suspect he signed off on the text before production, so there was no recourse.

[Generic Other]

24. WRONG! This is why they were made!!
