Like you mentioned, Ancient Egypt did have slavery, so even if there's evidence of temporary villages for paid workers, it's very hard to believe slaves were also not involved as well on projects of this scale.

Even on the hardly off chance that there were 0 slaves near the pyramid, the whole material gathering and transport job to the pyramid site was an insanely huge amount of labour as well.

Yeahhh, even if the evidence suggests otherwise, might as well cry SLAVES! cuz maybe there were - and possible evil should be called out even if we don't know, right? Unless you ever innocently go to prison for being Probably guilty. But oh well.
