You are mistaken; a pyramid is not a cone. Pyramids have flat sides, cones have a round tapering surface. The pyramidal shape is very stable and resists sandstorms, which is why the Egyptian pyramids have lasted for thousands of years. Other than that, there could have been any number of reasons that we don't know about. Perhaps some Egyptian priest thought that some Egyptian deity liked that shape.

How are a cone and a pyramid alike?
Start with a regular tetrahedron (triangular based pyramid). As you increase the number of sides in the base of the pyramid, the shape becomes more and more like a right cone. In the limit, the base tends to a polygon with an infinite number of sides - a circle, and the pyramid tends to a right cone.
What shape only has one base?
A pyramid (3D)! Some examples: - triangular base pyramid - square base pyramid - rectangular base pyramid - cone
What are the names of any 4 objects which have a 3D shape?
sphere, cone, cuboid and a pyramid
How many corners does a pyramid and a cone has?
The number of corners (or vertices) of a pyramid depends upon the shape of the base of the pyramid; a pyramid has one more corner than the number of sides in the base, eg a triangular based pyramid (also known as a tetrahedron) has 3 + 1 = 4 corners, a square based pyramid has 4 + 1 = 5 corners. A cone has 1 corner (at the top, or apex). So together a pyramid and cone have 2 more corners than number of sides of the shape of the base of the pyramid.
