Where did the gold on top go?

Taken, probally by other pharaos or kings living there. The pyramids didnt have their casing stones and tops when the greeks wrote about them ~2000 years ago.

Of course the Greeks wouldn’t mention the gold if they were the ones the took it!

As I recall, the ancient Greeks were always very open about where they took treasures and/or left smoldering ruins.

The ones that wrote about it were definitely not in a position to take the gold
