What was an Egyptian temple that had a shaft with a pointed top?

The Egyptian temple you are referring to is likely the Temple of Karnak, specifically featuring its obelisks. These tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monuments often had a pointed top and were typically erected at temple entrances. While not a temple structure per se, obelisks were integral to the temple complex and symbolized the sun god Ra. The most prominent obelisk at Karnak is the one of Pharaoh Hatshepsut, which stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian architecture and religious significance.
