Answer A
There was an elite group of free workers such as scribes, masons, quarrymen and craft workers. There was a lot of unskilled hard back-breaking work such as quarrying, dragging the stones up the ramp and putting them in place which was done by slaves. These slaves were naked too low in social status to be given clothes.
Answer B
No,
Pyramids were not built by slaves. During the annual Nile flooding, all the Egyptians who were working in farming lands used to be idle and not working in their lands. During these flood periods, each for around 3 month, they go to participate in building the pyramid. This explains why 20000 workers participated in building the big pyramid that lasted for 20 years, for around three month a year.
