You need to add some more colours and maybe some hue shifting, and especially, give it a texture. Pyramids are made out of bricks, and as it is, it looks like it's made out of cardboard. You need to make it look like it's made out of rocks.

You know, texturize it a bit, but try not to go over the top or do some boring, monotonous brick texture. Some nice, simple, varied details and textures would improve it a lot.

That aside, the colors are pretty boring, and definately need some more contrast.

Indeed.

Brickwork, or weathering would be a nice touch to this. A yellow-grey palette might work well, also.
