By all accounts the builders of the pyramids actually had nice places to live, and a higher quality of life than most Egyptians. In truth there is literally no evidence they were slaves outside of the story of Moses.
Ah, going the George Bush route that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. So, let me tell you about the unicorns on Mars. What, you can’t prove they’re not there.
Seriously though, we do have quite a few records from then since the Egyptian kings really wanted people to know about them. We also have archeological finds of where the workers lived. Also in them being given lavish tombs that regular Egyptians at the time didn’t. This stuff is really not hard to look up.
Why can’t you have skilled slaves?

Of course there’s no evidence. It happened more than 4000 years ago and there aren’t many writings left. No evidence doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

maybe it wasn’t worth teaching slaves how to properly build the pyramids and it was easier to get already educated citizens to build them
Maybe. Or maybe it was worthwhile to enslave people who know how to build pyramids than to pay them?
