A pyramid can have a polygon with any number of sides as its base. A triangular pyramid (tetrahedron, the Platonic solid) and the rectangular based pyramid (like the Egyptian ones) are better known, but that is simply a result of poor imagination.

If a pyramid has an n-gon as its base then it will have:

2 * n edges

n + 1 faces

and n + 1 vertices.
