Most people didn't take a bath thousands of years ago. The world was pretty stinky. To take a bath lots of hot water is needed, so pails and pails of water would have to be heated and that meant getting wood, chopping wood, and hauling wood. A tub would have to be used to hold the heated water and probably some privacy. Doing all of this took time and effort they just didn't have. One of the few ancient civilizations that had heated public baths was Rome. In every Roman town there were baths that water and floors were heated by slaves in the area under the baths.
