    $\begingroup$ The "actual" pyramids you are likely referring to did not look like this. What we see today is the skeleton. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @noClue Technically the "smooth 3-dimensional triangle" is the 'proper' pyramid. What you're asking for is a kind of step pyramid. $\endgroup$
