The Pharaoh had a ready and available workforce in the form of peasant farmers conscripted during the inundation of the river Nile when work was not possible in the fields. He was able to call upon this pool of labour for months at a time without disrupting the national economy and without having to provide more than basic subsistence. This system of temporary forced labour was called corvée and was little more than slavery. It was supported by a system of harsh punishments designed to deter anyone from deserting.

How did the slaves build the pyramids?
slaves made pyramids with their bare hands and with the muscle of their bare bodies actually, slaves didnt build the pyramids at all. Paid labourers recruite from poor villages built the pyramids. these workers were fed well and had accesss to medical care. the myth about slaves building the pyramids came from an ancient Greek historian named Hero dotus. not only were these workers well paid and fed, they were much respected for their work and were buried in a simple tomb right near the pyramids of their rulers. these tombs had jars that were once filled with bread and beer to supply workers for the afterlife. no slave would have been given so many benefits and the honor to be bured next to the pyramids. the notion that hebrew slaves built the pyramids is a completely ridiculous myth.
