A pyramid is typically a five-sided three-dimensional object, though four-sided is not uncommon. The majority of the sides are triangular in a five-sided pyramid. One angle from each of these triangles meets at a point (this is considered "top"). The fifth side is a square. Four-sided pyramids have triangles for all four sides. The tetrahedron, a Platonic solid with four faces, takes the shape of a pyramid with equilateral triangles for its base and sides.

There are some rather famous pyramids in Egypt. They are huge stone structures that were built as the tombs for ancient pharaohs.

Pseudoscience Alert
This topic is a pseudoscience, and is not accepted by the scientific community as a valid discipline.
Although it may use scientific terminology, it does not use scientific methodology.
Remember: just because it sounds right doesn't mean it's actually right.

Some people believe pyramidal structures have special powers, for healing, calming, focusing spiritual energies or sharpening razor blades[1]. While whatever someone thinks helps them meditate is fine, they should keep in mind that there is no basis in reality for these beliefs.
