A pyramid has a shape at the base (it can be turned, remember) and this shape becomes progressively smaller as its height increases to finally become a point at the top.
The type of pyramid depends on the actual shape of the base. Some pyramids have other names also (eg a triangular pyramid is also a tetrahedron).
A circular pyramid is also called a cone.
The pyramids in Egypt are square pyramids.
