That is one of the enduring myths about Ancient Egypt that is not actually true! There was no slavery at the time of the pyramids. To put it bluntly, 95% of the population of Egypt worked on the land, and for three months of every year the land was underwater when the Nile flooded. So what do you do to feed and mobilise a work force that is otherwise idle and potentially restive? The answer is that the people were required to give their labour to the state as a form of taxation (in a pre-monetary economy). It was a brilliant way of deploying a huge work force.
