Did ancient Egyptian priests have eyebrows?

My answerNo, they certainly did not!! Another point of viewDue to the fact that paintings from the period are highly embellished, it is difficult to tell. I would assume, though, that they did. They may have plucked them in order to have a distinct appearance, but until someone discovers an "Ancient Egyptian Priest's Guide to Grooming" I doubt that we'll really know the answer. Another AnswerNo they did not. They shaved their entire body in order to properly worship the Ancient Egyptians Gods which required cleanliness first and foremost. Sand fleas and lice were so bad in Egypt the only way to be free of them was to shave off all your bodily hair. A sign of mourning in Ancient Egypt was to shave off ones eyebrows which was even done when a persons pet cat had died. And just about any Egyptian who could afford a wig shaved their head do to lice control.Contrary to popular belief lice need a healthy and clean hair shaft to live and breed on.Priests had to shave all body hair and bathe 3 times a day in holy water as a sign of purity. Answer: No, they did not.They had to go before the gods free from dirt, flees, nits, hair and impurities, so no they did not.
