Pylon
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.

Its wide base and tapering design distributed weight evenly, reducing the risk of collapse. Additionally, the pyramid's shape symbolized strength and permanence, making it a fitting representation for monumental tombs and temples. This architectural form also facilitated efficient use of space in the arid desert environment.

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.
