Maybe not the "build the pyramid" itself. Just maybe. But all the transportation, accomodations and food for the builders surely came from slaves.
Not necessarily. Most people would have been nominally free, and most economic activity would have come from them.
Did they put the blocks into place with their economic activity?
No, the workers literally put them into place but the economic activity around them provided the food and drink and whatnot to the labourers.
