What literal slavery? The pyramids weren’t built with slave labor.
There's a dude with a whip in the picture, so it seems like the artist believes it was slave labor
It’s a common misconception.
Having 100% exclusive rights over the fruits of a person's labor, so, a job.
Ever applied for a mortgage?

Yes, and I can't remember anyone forcing me to buy this specific apartment, or preventing me from selling it and moving anywhere else.
Regardless, my point wasn't that work isn't slavery, my point is that the pyramids weren't built with slave labor.
