It is the same in that they are both monumental accomplishments of human engineering. Both are made of stone.

They are different in that they were made during vastly different periods of time, are in two distinct regions of the world, and were made of materials that are very different.

The largest difference, of course, is their purpose. The Great Wall was nominally built to keep enemy forces from crossing China's Northern border, while it is assumed that they pyramids were built as great tribute to and to honor the deity-kings of Egypt.

What are the similarities of Mayan and Egyptian pyramids?

The pyramids of Central America and Egypt are from different eras, and have different styles. Most experts believe that pyramid building is something that ancient cultures chose to do (also in China and South America), without having any contact with each other. Pretty much the only evidence of a connection is that the base of the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico, and the base of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, have the same dimensions, with the Mexican pyramid being precisely half the height of the Egyptian one. Both encode Pi.
