Pyramidion of Amenhotep (Huy)

New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, reign of Ramesses II, ca. 1279-1213 BC. From Saqqara necropolis. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. TR 7-114-24-1

True pyramids (at least the larger ones), as opposed to step pyramids in Egypt were topped by a special stone called a pyramidion, or sometimes a capstone, which was itself a miniature pyramid. It brought the pyramid structure to a point at the same angle and the same proportions as the main body.

The ancient Egyptian word for the pyramidion, which could also sit atop the apex of an obelisk, was ben-benet, named for the sacred Benben stone kept in the temple of Heliopolis, the oldest center of the sun cult in Egypt. During the Old Kingdom, they were usually made of diorite, granite or a very fine limestone which was then covered in gold or electrum.

Ancient Egyptian ostracon depicting a pharaoh, the blue war crown (khepresh) atop his head and his face covered with stubble (a traditional sign of mourning). The image is thought to depict the 19th Dynasty pharaoh Seti I (r. ca. 1294-1279 BCE). Another, less experienced artist has also used the ostracon to practice drawing hands. Now in the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore.

Isetnofret (or Isis-nofret or Isitnofret) (Ancient Egyptian: "the beautiful Isis") was one of the Great Royal Wives of Pharaoh Ramesses II and was the mother of his successor, Merneptah. She was one of the most prominent of the royal wives, along with Nefertari, and was the chief queen after Nefertari's death (around the 24th year of the pharaoh's reign).

"We can take care of that"

I mean, they ARE the royal family

Also, a better look at the mural, which seems to be based off this mural:

Which seems to be a depiction of Hyksos being taken in as slaves? That's 2 dynasties ago

I don't really know, I can't find sources
