Pyramid

A pyramid was a three-dimensional structure composed of four or five sides composed of (usually) triangular shapes.

The great pyramids of Egypt of Earth were built as grand tombs for the pharaohs. They dated back to the times of the Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom. (PROSE: A History of Humankind [+]Official Guides (BBC Children's Books, 2016).) These pyramids, such as the Great Pyramid of Giza, (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan [+]Terry Nation and Dennis Spooner, Doctor Who season 3 (BBC1, 1965-1966). et al.) were well known to other races.
