Actually, from what I can figure out, the "Pyramids were used to store grain" thing goes something like this:

In Genesis, Joseph becomes important in the Pharaoh's court and his planning allowed the Egyptians to survive a famine. This melds with the "Jewish slaves built the pyramids" meme (they almost certainly didn't, there is very little evidence for large-scale Hebrew/Jewish settlement in Egypt before late antiquity (like Elephantine papyri-era), and most of the labor used was non-free corvée but that isn't exactly the same as slavery as it's normally used) and you get the pyramids being enormous grain silos.

It's *wrong* but I always feel like it's treated as being more prima facie absurd by critics than I think is strictly fair.

That's extremely absurd because we have been inside them and we know they're tombs and also the Egyptians could write and the directly told us they were tombs.

If people take Genesis as the most reliable big-h Historical text that has ever/can ever exist how conversant with modern scholarship on Egyptology do you think they're going to be?

sorry, you should have taken better care of your dev, it probably met it’s end at the beak of a ravenous seagull or crow

The quotes around Reward are making me acutely nervous.
