Below is the definition of "pyramidology" as given by Adam Rutherford:
Today, however, the word "pyramidology" has become associated with many things beyond the definition above. Nevertheless, it would be wrong to retroactively apply the extra ideas often associated with this word back to anyone who has made a Biblical study of God's Witness in Egypt. The Biblical studies of God's Witness in Egypt presented by Charles Taze Russell, John Edgar and Morton Edgar, for instance, have nothing at all to do with any kind of observance of heathen religious rituals, the practice of spiritism, the practice of astrology, etc.
Pyramidology is the science that deals with the Great Pyramid's scientific demonstration of Biblical truth, true Christianity and the Divine plan respecting humanity on this planet. One who is skilled in this science is therefore defined as a Pyramidologist. But it is necessary clearly to distinguish between a Pyramidologist and a Pyramidist. A Pyramidist is an Egyptologist who specializes in the study of the pyramids of Egypt, or in other words, a specialist on the Egyptian pyramids from the archeological standpoint. Hence we find some people who have a good knowledge of Pyramidology know little or nothing about Egyptology. On the other hand, an Egyptologist, or even a Pyramidist, may know nothing about Pyramidology. An expert Pyramidologist, however, knows the Great Pyramid in all its aspects, including the Egyptological, even though his knowledge of Egyptology in general may not be very wide. Apart from a few builders' marks, which include a dating and the cartouche of Khufu (the pharaoh in whose reign the Great Pyramid was erected), there are no hieroglyphics in the Great Pyramid. Hence to become a Pyramidologist, knowledge of hieroglyphics is not required, whereas it is essential for all Egyptologists including Pyramidists to be able to read hieroglyphics proficiently.
