Pyramid (stylized as Pyr△mid) is the third album by progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released in May 1978.[4] It is a concept album centred on the pyramids of Giza. At the time the album was conceived, interest in pyramid power and Tutankhamun was widespread in the US and the UK.[5] Pyramid was nominated for the 1978 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.[6]

The book visible in the cover design is G. Patrick Flanagan – Pyramid Power: The Millennium Science (1973).[7]
