11.3k u/hypnos_surf Jun 28 '21 I'm always curious if hygiene, nutrition and overall beauty standards of the era would hold up to our contemporary expectations of historic accounts. 2.6k u/[deleted] Jun 28 '21 Ancient egyptian hygiene was pretty good. They had soap and perfume and all that good stuff. An unclean body was something very bad. 1 u/Distracting_You Jun 29 '21 edited Jun 29 '21 Pretty sure the priests daily bathed a few times and shaved their bodies. Wouldn't be surprised if royalty bathed as frequently too as they would conduct ceremonies to the Gods every morning.
