** ArtisticLicenseHistory: While forever symbolic of Egypt, pyramids, especially as burial sites for pharaohs, had been obsolete for centuries by Tutankhamun's time, being easy targets for tomb robbers. Furthermore, Tut is represented in a man of his prime, despite having died as a sickly teen, and he never really accomplished much in his nine-year reign (The restoration of the old pantheon following the Aten cult is arguable). One could argue that Tut is more of a representation of ancient Egypt as a whole instead of simply the short-lived Pharaoh himself.

* Literature.GenerationP: * Its close variation, ziggurat power, actually ziggurats predated pyramids. As ancient Mesopotamians erected pyramid-like ziggurats, the version of this structure near Moscow is a significant landmark for Tatarsky (who lives in the world still ruled by Mesopotamian gods). This ziggurat is said to be an incomplete radar station partially built for the military in the Soviet time then abandoned.
** At first he rises to the top of an uncompleted ziggurat under the influence of fly-agarics and has some visions there.
** Near the end during a trip with Azadovsky and his retinue he notices a distant ziggurat, the same as in the first case. Tatarsky is struck by this sight and then leaves the company, visits Guireev to consume fly-agarics once more and rises to the top of construction to pick up three objects he needs to marry Ishtar.
** Azadovsky is also prone to this. He knows about the same ziggurat and, being a magnate, wants to buy it and to build a mansion for himself out of it. That does not happen.

* Characters.KamenRiderGhostOthers: His Omega Fang summons the Pyramid that can warp any poor victims who get hit into PocketDimension of dead and kills them.
** Also seems to be his main power, as in #32 he manages to reverse the Time Ganmizer's power with his arcane magic.
** ArtisticLicenseHistory: While forever symbolic of Egypt, pyramids, especially as burial sites for pharaohs, had been obsolete for centuries by Tutankhamun's time, being easy targets for tomb robbers. Furthermore, Tut is represented in a man of his prime, despite having died as a sickly teen, and he never really accomplished much in his nine-year reign (The restoration of the old pantheon following the Aten cult is arguable). One could argue that Tut is more of a representation of ancient Egypt as a whole instead of simply the short-lived Pharaoh himself.

* Film.TheCrazyFamily: Embraced to crazy degrees by the son.
* In ''The Cat Who Blew the Whistle'', Elizabeth Hart is big on the idea of pyramid power. Unannounced, she and her boyfriend pop over to the Qwilleran's apple barn and set up a makeshift portable pyramid. After they leave, Koko makes his way to the very center of the pyramid, and there is a blackout across all of Pickaxe that doesn't stop until he exits the pyramid.

* Characters.BoardGameOnline: AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Alchemists are immune against all kinds of poisons (such as drinking a [[StatusAilment slowing poison]] or being stung by a scorpion in the [[PyramidPower Deadly Pyramid]]). Apparently, all this time working with toxic substances has granted them a resistance.
* Fanfic.CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries: "Pharaoh Andrew" has the gang going to the Pyramids of Giza for Calvin's school report. They end up having to fight off some [[{{Mummy}} mummies]].
* RobeAndWizardHat: An issue of ''Magazine/{{Dragon}} Magazine'', the D&D tie-in periodical, explained that gnomes wear pointy hats because they symbolize the power of knowledge in [[PyramidPower much the same way pyramids do]]: few at the top, many at the base.
* Fanfic.{{Quiververse}}: A pyramid serves as Ahuizotl's headquarters [[spoiler: as well as the location for the tomb of the Nahual]]. While its exterior is keeping with {{Mayincatec}} design philosophy, [[AncientEgypt its interior is more like an Egyptian pyramid.]] Ahuizotl and his followers, leaning towards the former more than the latter, aren't all that impressed, especially in light of how stifling the heat is inside.
* JustForFun.TropesExaminedByTheMythbusters: Pyramids don't have any preserving powers. Milk, fruit, and flowers in pyramids have been spoiled at the same rate as those that weren't in pyramids.
* Literature.GenerationP: * Its close variation, ziggurat power, actually ziggurats predated pyramids. As ancient Mesopotamians erected pyramid-like ziggurats, the version of this structure near Moscow is a significant landmark for Tatarsky (who lives in the world still ruled by Mesopotamian gods). This ziggurat is said to be an incomplete radar station partially built for the military in the Soviet time then abandoned.
** At first he rises to the top of an uncompleted ziggurat under the influence of fly-agarics and has some visions there.
** Near the end during a trip with Azadovsky and his retinue he notices a distant ziggurat, the same as in the first case. Tatarsky is struck by this sight and then leaves the company, visits Guireev to consume fly-agarics once more and rises to the top of construction to pick up three objects he needs to marry Ishtar.
** Azadovsky is also prone to this. He knows about the same ziggurat and, being a magnate, wants to buy it and to build a mansion for himself out of it. That does not happen.

* AcademyOfAdventure: ''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'''s A. Nigma High School. Let's see: a weird snake/dragon/lizard monster thing called a Tazelwurm (who also happens to be the school's mascot) crawling around in the vents, secret passageways literally ''everywhere'', an eye-patched cyborg principal, a [[spoiler:mysterious {{pyramid|Power}}]] under the school, most of the teachers being [[spoiler:clones of famous people]], vacuum-wielding [[HazmatSuit hazmat]] janitors, mysteries, conspiracies... there's quite a lot of adventure to be had.
* Anime.SacredSeven: The Darkstone from episode 5.
* Characters.PathfinderFiendishDivinities: Many of her temples are, appropriately, pyramids.
* Characters.TheElderScrollsDivineBeings: His symbol is a simple triangle, and his shrines are in the shape of a pyramid.
* CoolKey: Early on in ''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'', Lee is given an octagonal key with retractable spikes. The spikes are what open things, as the locks the key is meant to open are also octagonal and have holes to the spikes to grab. The key opens several doors throughout the underground passageways beneath the school, and Season 3 reveals that it's one of two identical keys that are meant to be used to open the [[PyramidPower mysterious pyramid]], also located under the school. '''What is with potholing "mysterious pyramid"?'''

While [[CuteMonsterGirl Melona]] and [[PyramidPower Menace]] got to sing their variations several times, [[CuteGhostGirl Airi's]] only appears ONCE, and on the second to last episode at that (The finale doesn't have the ED). Clearly a ploy to sell more [=CDs=], since Airi's the EnsembleDarkHorse, but still.
