* In ''TabletopGame/OverTheEdge'', [[MadArtist Mad architect]] Jean-Claude D'Aubainne built the Al-Amarja airport building in the shape of a cone ... ''balanced on its point''. It's the first sight immigrants see, so it ''has'' to be one of the most intimidating buildings on the island. [[spoiler: It's also a total con. The elevators operate in reverse, and the actual building is underground. The pyramid is an empty shell.]]

** In '''III'', the Pyramids are a network of underground dungeons that [[spoiler: are actually high-tech Ancient facilities, defended by robots and keeping the ScienceFantasy secrets of Terra from the surface population]].
** The Tomb of VARN in ''VI'' is (at least part of) a long-landed and abandoned spacecraft. It must have been ''immensely'' tough, considering it not only survived the long voyage through the void, but also [[spoiler: the event that, centuries after the landing, turned the fertile landing zone into a blasted desert]]. In a minor twist, you have to go deep into the pyramid before any actually ''futuristic'' elements are seen (well, visibly futuristic. The jackalheaded guards are probably robots, but they don't look the part).

* In Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/{{Cryoburn}}'', one of the largest cryogenic companies on the planet Kibou-daini is [=NewEgypt=]. Their cryo-storage facilities (where they keep the frozen bodies of people who were hoping to be revived, when there's a cure for whatever was killing them) are all in pyramid shaped buildings, and all their corporate branding follows an Egyptian theme. They've trademarked the entire historical era, to block imitators.

As revealed in the ''Literature/DiogenesClub'' story "Egyptian Avenue", he aquired it from a ''different'' CorruptCorporateExecutive who'd inherited an ancestor's mania for Egyptology.
