Seems blasphemous to even think such a thing.
Best to go with a cube since that is what is specified, and it doesn't give glory to those fucking Egyptians for presaging some vital aspect of Christianity.
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. - Daniel 2:34-35
Pyramids are not an Egyptian invention, many cultures have pyramids. In fact the Great Pyramid preexisted the Egyptian civilization (according to some sources it was built by Enoch).
When Abraham left Ancient Mesopotamia, the Bible states he was looking for a city who builder and maker is God:
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. - Hebrews 11:10
Guess where Abraham went? He went to Egypt... He knew that the New Jerusalem would be in that area, his timing was just off.
There is no big CUBE erected in Egypt, but there is a big PYRAMID symbolizing that is the area where the New Jerusalem will appear.
