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".

Just because you're "taught this" is not a valid reasoning either.
There have been archaeologists who claim the dating of the pyramids are much older then the time of the great Egyptians. And that they were already built by the time the Egyptians found them.
Even archaeologists who have the same thinking as you argue the exact way they were built. So no you don't really know how they were "built".
I'm not saying Carson is even close to being right. But it is good to keep an open mind (again not saying he is right)
Was it used for tombs? Yes. But to speak like you know everything as fact is completely false.
