They didn't use slaves, they used paid laborers.

We don't even know how they built the pyramids, how am I supposed to believe that we know that detail?

Actually, we do know how they built the pyramids.
They used quartz and various methods to cut the rock, then used logs, ropes & the rivers that used to run right by the pyramids to transport them. It's not that hard to figure out.

People love to say how hard it is, because they aren't engineers. The same happened with stonehenge, til one dude just built a replica using sticks and rope, by himself
