The idea that the pyramids were built by slaves comes from Herodotus' Histories, where he describes the construction process of the pyramids and mentions the use of slave labor. However, this claim has been disputed by modern scholars and archaeologists who have studied the construction methods and labor practices of ancient Egypt.

For example, evidence suggests that the workers who built the pyramids were not slaves, but rather highly skilled and respected craftsmen and laborers who were paid for their work. Archaeological excavations of workers' settlements near the pyramids have uncovered evidence of well-organized communities with good living conditions, including housing, food, and medical care. Additionally, inscriptions on tombs and monuments suggest that the workers were proud of their work and viewed their labor as a religious duty to their pharaoh.
