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.
