The game doesn't render shadows from that distance because it would slow down too much.  This is why you can see shadows of the nearer objects (some of the trees), but not the ones farther away.

I don't know if the pyramid has any underground geometry, but that kind of 'reverse shadow' can be caused by underground geometry.

Speaking of this, I wish you could choose the distance. After all, more powerful computers should be able to handle a larger radius of shadow rendering with no sweat, and would help fix some graphical bugs with shadows suddenly appearing, etc;
