Did slaves build the pyramids of Egypt?

by sgtsaughter

This question stems from a TIL post that said paid laborers were the ones most responsible for building the pyramids and that most historians dismiss slaves building the pyramids as a myth. This post seemed to spark some controversy between redditors and I was hoping to come here to find some clarity.

Thanks in advance!
