The structure that typically topped a pyramid, especially in ancient Egyptian architecture, was a capstone or pyramidion. This apex stone was often made of a harder material, such as granite, and sometimes covered in gold or electrum to reflect sunlight. In some cases, the pyramidion was inscribed with religious symbols or the name of the pharaoh. Its purpose was to symbolize the connection between the earth and the divine.
