Answer 1

When I visited Egypt and toured the pyramids the state-sponsored tour guides said the pyramid construction was too complex and difficult that it simply could not have been done by slaves who would have worked the bare minimum. It must have been done by paid and well-motivated workers.

Don’t take that as real evidence but I thought it was an interesting story lol
