I am planning to reference Aztec and Mayan pyramids and have a twist effect on some of the steps.
The pyramid would twist like the Cayan tower in Dubai
Here is a photo of a reference:
Here is the model(in progress):
This is what I have so far and I am playing around with the idea of shifting some step off more to one side. I like how it is coming along and I will try to take it even further.
I have added more edge loops to make the steps a lot more sharp and indented some faces to give it a different look.
Here is the final model. I ended up liking the triangulation at the top so I left them in and it really adds to the spiraling effect. Overall it turned out great I think.

Consider the hard edge articulation of the original subject. You might want to employ that approach. Don't forget to fillet your edges, both for rendering and for your model.
