Wrong, they were built by slaves. Or more precisely, the slaves did all the hard work, carrying the stones and what-not. They were slaves, better make them useful for something, and if they die (which happened constantly), who would care?

Farmers never built the pyramids, their deaths would have been more significant than a slave's and they did have to work. During the off season, they had 2 choices: Find something to do not related to farming, or act like it was Winter in Westeros.
