Why can't you have skilled slaves?

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?

All those unfinished pyramids around Egypt from people who were robbed of their chance to make their place in history.
