This may sound dumb, but i heard on discovery channel that egypt never actually had slaves.

heres the quote:
"The Pyramids were not built by slaves, the 'fact' is, contrary to popular 'myth', Egypt never had slaves, they didn't need them... they had the Nile River which provided them with enough water and resources that the communities flourished and provided them with enough free time to build the Pyramids without slaves"

My teacher also told me they were fed good meat, something they wouldn't normally feed to slaves?

I doubt either beleif can be proven entirely, but this sounds plausible :-)
