The simple fact is that the eye in the pyramid is not now nor has it ever been a Masonic symbol.
The 'Eye of Providence', sometimes referred to in Masonic ritual as the "All-Seeing Eye" (of Deity) is found in the ritual of most jurisdictions, reminding a Mason that his words and deeds are being judged by the Supreme Architect of the Universe. The pyramid appears in the ritual of some (not all) jurisdictions and represents the great builders of the past. However, their combined usage is essentially non-existent except by a few fanciful representations done by individuals whose imagination has soared beyond that of the black text ritual. There is NO 'official' combination of the eye and the/a pyramid!
The infrequency of the combined eye/pyramid usage was much more clear to this site's author when, in preparation for this page, we looked for a single example of an emblem or other "Masonic" eye in a pyramid. we couldn't find one! Nearly three years after this page was first written and after hundreds of thousands of 'hits', we've been provided with only two examples which might be an eye in a pyramid (although arguably, it could just as readily be an eye in a triangle). Please see the bottom of this page.
Does it mean who worships the devil? But no, it has nothing to do with the devil. It is the all seeing eye of god, the Eye of Providence, whose origin goes back to to the Udjat, or the Eye of Horus.

The pyramid with the eye is commonly associated with the Great Seal of the United States, featuring an unfinished pyramid with an eye at the top, known as the Eye of Providence. This symbol represents divine guidance and the idea of enlightenment. It appears on the reverse side of the one-dollar bill and is often interpreted as a symbol of the founding principles of the nation.

On the Great Seal, the eye in the pyramid symbolizes the "All Seeing Eye." There are a lot of things circulating on the net as to what the symbols mean or say. but Novus Ordo Seclorum does not mean "New World Order". It means "New Order for the Ages". *There is a link below to an article at the Truth or Fiction website on various rumors circulating on the internet and what the truth is.
If by "side" you mean face, you might be referring to a heptagonal pyramid (a pyramid with eight faces).If by "side" you mean edge, you might be referring to a tetragonal pyramid (a pyramid with eight edges).Or, if you mean it has an eight-sided base, your answer would be an octagonal pyramid (a pyramid with an eight-sides base).
If you mean the base has 4 sides then the pyramid is a square based pyramid and has 5 corners. If you mean the pyramid has 4 faces then the pyramid is a tetrahedron with a triangular base and has 4 corners.
The pyramid itself was seen as literally a stairway to the heavens. Egyptian rulers viewed themselves as Gods and the completed pyramid served as a symbol of their ascent to the above. The uncompleted pyramid such as that shown on the US dollar bill was a symbol of a country that was a work in progress. The "all seeing eye" would be borrowed from the Eye of Horus (an Egyptian god) and traditionally serves as a symbol of protection.
