Spiral around a pyramid

Hello,
I was wondering if there's a way to create a spiral ramp around a pyramid. Something similar to the picture I've linked. I've also attached an image of what I'm working with. The pyramid I want to use has rounded edges. How would I go about adding spiral step tiers like the picture?

Do you mean like this?

Yup that's what I'm looking for. I would be looking for something without the angled slopes of the pyramid (less faces, if that makes sense), but that would just require some tweaking I believe. The "steps" would be "hiding" the slopes of the pyramid. Can you tell me how you did this?philip_thomas said:Do you mean like this?

Thanks

Ok - is this what you're looking for?

The only reason i haven't posted a link yet is that i am just playing and this is hack-and-whack.
If this is what you're looking for, i will make a 'good one'

Ok, this is 'TRICKY' - it is also likely that someone else will come up with a better way, but this should get the ball rolling.
Modeling Gurus - please make this better!
Good Luck
