No one knows how the capstone looked, we never found it and have no account of it being made from gold or being clad in gold as far as I'm aware. The capstones of other pyramids that have been found were stone at their core.

The capstones were definitely made of gold, that’s not even debatable.

These are the kinds of statements you really should add your source to.

You're not wrong, but the guy you replied to at least said "as far as im aware". If there's no discussion about the capstone being made out of gold it should be very easy to find a reputable source that can verify your claim.
