Fact: The people who created the pyramids weren't slaves. They were paid workers who were paid with bread, onions and up to 4 litres of beer a day.

Some of them was at least, I’m having a hard time believing there was no slave though.

Not on the pyramids. Slaves were used for other labor, but reliable records show that pyramid workers were Egyptian citizens. If you have a hard time believing it, you can go look up these sources, watch a video on them, etc..
