In hieroglyphs the topmost pinnacle stone of a pyramid is called bnbnt, written benbenet or benben by Egyptologists. This word also signifies a sacred stone and is closely related to the word for the stem of a ship.

The Greeks who visited Egypt in ancient times gave the name pyramidion to this type of cap-stone.
