Dear ranraif-ga;

I am posting this as a comment for the time being because the truth
is, no one really knows exactly how many pyramids there are in Egypt.
What I am offering you is information about ?known? pyramids:

Many of the pyramids can no longer be readily identified as typical
pyramids because of erosion and damage over the centuries. There are
about 110 of these that are currently known in Egypt, only 67 of which
are completed structures. Genuine, or ?true? pyramids are those have
solid core masonry, and there are only ten of them. They are:

Pyramid #1 - The Step Pyramid of Zoser 
Pyramid #2 - Sekhemket's Pyramid
Pyramid #3 - Kha-ba's Pyramid  
Pyramid #4 - Snefru's Meidum Pyramid 
Pyramid #5 - Snefru's Bent Pyramid 
Pyramid #6 - Snefru's Red Pyramid 
Pyramid #7 - Khufu's (Cheops) Great Pyramid 
Pyramid #8 - Gedefra's (Djedefre) Pyramid 
Pyramid #9 - Khafra's (Chephren) Pyramid 
Pyramid #10 - Menkaura's (Mycerinus) Pyramid


Please let me know if this sufficiently answers your question.
