I'm not sure that the fact that the hard working Pyramid builders were well fed proves that they were free workers. (I don't think the workers on the Pyramids were chattel slaves but I doubt if they were allowed to just give in their notice and find a new job.)https://allthatsinteresting.com/who-built-the-pyramidsExcavations in the 1990s into what researchers sometimes call “pyramid city” were crucial in establishing a modern understanding of not just how the pyramids were built but also by whom.
Specifically, it was the discovery of large quantities of animal bones belonging to young cows, sheep, and goats that sowed the first seeds of doubt on the slave theory. The presence of these bones suggested that meals of prime beef and other valuable meats had been consumed by those who worked on the pyramids, foods that enslaved laborers would not have had the opportunity to eat.
Sure, but is the absence of Schwein telling?
