Which ancient Greek historian started a false rumor concering the people who built the pyramids?

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus is often credited with starting a false rumor regarding the builders of the pyramids. In his writings, he suggested that the pyramids were constructed by slaves, a claim that has been widely debated and disproven by modern Archaeology. Evidence indicates that the pyramid builders were likely skilled laborers who worked in rotating shifts and were well-fed and cared for. Herodotus's accounts, while valuable, often mixed fact with myth and speculation.
