The correct features used in the classic Egyptian pyramid are:

  1. They have triangular sides.
  2. They served as a pharaoh’s tomb.
  3. They could symbolize a mythical earth mound or the rays of the sun god.

The statement about "smooth white limestone once covered the hollow interior" is not accurate in the context of classic Egyptian pyramids, as they were typically covered with smooth limestone casing that is now mostly eroded or missing.
