Hi Ace,
It doesn't work like that. You can't declare and idea or theory then ask others to prove you wrong, else the idea is fact. It just doesn't work this way.
It's common knowledge that the ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids before the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. This was taught in elementary school. Carson should know this already.
Of course, it's possible that he didn't know, and maybe studying medicine means he didn't study other subjects or become well-rounded in the ways of science. However since he is now running for President, he should at least take some crash courses or at least, learn to say "I don't know" when he really doesn't know the answer to a question instead of saying something stupid like Pyramids for made for storing grain".
