> The pyramids having anything whatsoever to do with the Exodus is a myth created by Hollywood, it is not a Jewish belief at all.

Any source? Google only returns articles about Carson, so it looks like it may be his idea.

edit: It seems to be an old story, easily predating both Carson and Hollywood.

Source for which? For grain in general? For Josef supposedly being the one to store it? Or for the pyramids having nothing to do with the Jews being slaves in Egypt?
For Hollywood. You said that associating pyramids with Biblical events was their idea, so I thought that maybe there was some particular movie which spawned this meme.
