Also it's 500,000 large blocks not 2.5 million. In total it was 2.5 million but many of those were much smaller blocks for infill.

Yes. It has been accepted by mainstream archeologists, that slaves did not build the pyramids. For a start, Ancient Egypt was not a slave-state like Greece or Rome. Most slaves in the ancient world were acquired as a result of war, and for most of its life Ancient Egypt was fairly pacific. Yes, the Pharaohs did wage war, but mostly in response to incursions made by (usually) culturally less advanced peoples. Ancient Egypt was almost never a militarily aggressive state like those mentioned above.
