The pyramids were built by skilled labour. One of the options for paying taxes was to work on public works. It was also seen as a religious event, akin to modern missionaries.
And those workers were even afforded healthcare - a rarity at the time? (I would be significantly less enthused if I found out that it only covered work-related accidents rather than all things, but even so, still not the norm for slavery.)
