Pyramids
Egypt's ancient tombs
Pyramids are monumental structures with triangular sides converging to a point, most famously the ancient Egyptian tombs at Giza.
The shape extends to any pyramid-like structure or arrangement: a pyramid of oranges, a pyramid scheme where each level recruits more participants below.
In anatomy, pyramid names various cone-shaped structures.
The singular pyramid is far more common. (Capitalized Pyramids usually refers to the Egyptian monuments specifically.)
